  "account": "Polemik arises as Perak deputy prosecutor conspires to defraud a victim, stealing RM237,135.15. Chief Inspector Hafezul Helmi Hamzah of Perak's Central Police reported receiving a complaint from a 63-year-old man who had fallen prey to the fraud. The con artist, in disguise as a police officer and a prosecutor's replacement, instructed the victim to transfer all his money into a single account to facilitate a Bank Negara investigation. He was then asked to place the ATM card of that account in a sealed envelope and attach it to a nearby fence post along with six ATM pin codes. After 27 days, the victim checked his account and discovered the entire sum of RM237,135.15 had been withdrawn without authorization. In a statement, Hafezul advised the public to remain vigilant against unsolicited phone calls and hidden information dissemination on social media platforms.",
