Love Scam Again and Again

Recently, it is reported by The Star that single mothers, lonely women and women facing family crisis are prone to love scams. Currently, the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Department (Cyber and Multimedia Crimes) are investigating into the matter.

Who are these victims?

Most are women who are referred to as professionals or have a good carrier such as doctors, lawyers, bankers, lecturers and teachers. According to the Asst Supt Mohd Syafiq who are investigating the case, the victims age are between 31 and 40.

 

Lesson to be learned?

 

Again, it is advised not to easily fall for the sweet words and persuasion of a person (who usually seems so good to be true) who you just met recently online. It is really important to get to know the person in real life for extended period of time before giving full commitment in terms of feelings, valuables or monetary.
