IPOH: A 48-year-old primary school teacher in Teluk Intan has lost over RM200,000 in what is believed to be a Macau scam.

Hilir Perak OCPD Asst Comm Ahmad Adnan Basri said the woman received a call in early November from an insurance company stating that she had made claims involving an accident, which the victim denied.

“Then when the call was transferred to the said police station, the 'officer' connected the call to the 'court', claiming that she was involved in money laundering activities," ACP Ahmad Adnan said on Friday . ACP Ahmad Adnan said that after securing the loans, the victim then transferred all her money to her personal bank account as instructed by the callers, as she had been told it would be easy for the"court" to monitor her.

ACP Adnan said the victim only realised that she had been cheated after the bank called to inform her that a total of RM216,000 from her account had been transferred.
