SIBU: A retired teacher in Bintulu was cheated of RM199,000 in a Macau scam.

Bintulu OCPD Supt Batholomew Umpit said on Sunday that the 63-year old woman's ordeal began on June 30 when she received a call from a courier company in Kuala Lumpur informing her that a parcel which was meant for her had been wrongly sent to a company in Pahang.

"She was told to make an appeal as her name had been reportedly blacklisted for money laundering," he said. The woman realised that she had been cheated when she was told by her bank that a total of RM199,000 from her account had been transferred to two accounts of the suspect from July 1 to 2. He said the public can also check the phone number of a suspect at Check Scammers CCID or at http://semakmule.rmp.gov.my.
