An e-hailing driver's suspicions prevented a 71-year-old woman from losing another RM10,000 to a suspected love scam, according to Rembau district police chief Superintendent Ngiam Ooi Ming. The incident occurred after the driver dropped the woman off at a Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) branch around 5:30 pm. Upon dropping her off, the driver suspected she was involved in a scam and contacted the police.
The Rembau police station quickly dispatched a team to the bank, where they stopped the suspected transaction. The woman was in the process of depositing RM10,000 into a fraudulent account. Police returned the money to her BSN account, but it was later discovered that she had already lost RM4,950 and RM4,900 to the same scam.
