LUBOK ANTU: Police arrested a man in his early 20s for allegedly acting as a “money mule” linked to three online scam cases involving total losses of over RM194,000.
Led by head of the district’s Commercial Crime Investigation Division (CCID), Inspector Muhammad Asyraf Azmi, the suspect was arrested by his team on Tuesday afternoon (Nov 4).
Investigations revealed that the suspect had allowed his bank account to be used in connection with two job scam cases and one non-existent investment scheme, with the cases reported in Penang and Selangor.
Police reminded the public not to hand over their bank accounts, ATM cards, or online banking details to others, as these can be exploited for criminal purposes.
Individuals who allow their accounts to be used by others may face legal action and risk being blacklisted by banks.
The public is also urged not to be lured by easy money schemes that promise quick profits without hard work.
