Warga emas ditipu RM317,000 selepas terpedaya rawatan ‘buang nasib malang’
Mangsa berusia 70an pada mulanya didatangi wanita tidak dikenali, dipercayai warga China sebelum diperdaya.
A Sibu housewife has lost RM317,000 to a fraud syndicate who lured her with promises of traditional medicine and a ritual for "casting off misfortune," according to the Sibu Police Chief. The 70-year-old woman reportedly handed over cash and valuable items after being approached by two mysterious women, believed to be of Chinese descent.
One woman claimed to know the location of a traditional Chinese medicine shop, while the other offered to drive her there. Later, the suspects took the victim in a vehicle and allegedly read her face to warn of a serious road accident for her son on a specific day. The suspects then offered a protective ceremony and demanded the victim surrender her cash and belongings, totaling RM317,000.
The case falls under Section 420 of the Penal Code for deceit. The police advise the public not to easily trust unknown individuals offering traditional treatments, rituals, or rituals of bad luck, and to be cautious of fear-inducing threats that may lead to the surrender of valuable items.
