Scam Alert: PDRM Warns Public Don’t Be Fooled By A Fake Shipping Company Scam

The Commercial Crime Investigation Department (JSJK) in a statement on its Facebook page recently said that a man claimed a loss of RM 2.5 million after being deceived by a man disguised as Pos Laju, recently.

The victim is said to have used the ‘service’ by sending a package to Sabah containing a copy of identity card, ATM card, and checkbook.

The parcel was allegedly detained by the Police for investigation. The victim was then asked to deposit money into two bank accounts.

For everyone’s information, there are 4 steps used by scammers to deceive the public, namely:

1) The victim admitted to receiving a call from the suspect claiming to be from a delivery company (DHL, Pos Malaysia, etc.)

2) The suspect informed that there was a package containing a number of identity cards, drugs, and other miscellaneous items sent to the victim’s address.

3) The call is then connected to the ‘Police’. The victim was feared to be involved in a felony.

4) The victim is asked to transfer money to an unknown account for reasons of investigation purposes.

Although this modus operandi is seen as illogical, there are still people who are deceived by this call fraud syndicate.

Following that, the Chief Assistant Director of JSJK, ACP Azman bin Mohd Isa has given some advice to the public regarding such scams.

His advice is:
– Do not answer/answer calls from unknown numbers.
– Put down the phone immediately if you feel suspicious.
– Check with relevant parties.
