A 57-year-old research officer lost over RM600,000 in a bogus investment scheme after joining a WhatsApp group in March. After an initial return boosted her confidence, she made 28 transfers to three accounts. Suspicion arose when she was asked to pay RM200,000 in service fees to withdraw RM50,000. She filed a report in Rompin; police are investigating under Section 420 for cheating.
