SEREMBAN: A 36-year-old teacher has become poorer by more than RM100,000 after being scammed in what turned out to be a non-existent loan scheme.

State commercial crime chief Supt Aibee Ab Ghani said the victim from Bahau near here had applied for a RM10,000 loan after she saw an advertisement on social media on Aug 24.

"She was then asked to send copies of her salary slip and identity card so that her loan could be processed," he said. However, before she was given the money, she was told to make payments for stamp duty, as well as processing, agreement and financial fees."The total amount she transferred in 30 transactions totalled RM105,461," he said.The victim decided to lodge a report on Monday upon realising that she had been duped.
