Fake Officer from KKM (Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia) Scammer Calls 😠

The victim will receive a call by someone claiming to be from the Ministry of Health (KKM) and was told that his personal details were used by other individuals for the registration of receiving the vaccine and was instructed to cooperate with the Ministry of Health to investigate the matter.

The victim was then transferred to a phone call from the fake 'police' for further confirmation where the syndicate will claim that the victim's personal details were involved in a money laundering case and if he failed to cooperate he could be subject to legal action. Another version is the fake 'police' will say that under the victim's name the victim possesses doses of vaccines obtained illegally and victim is being sued by the Ministry of Health.

The syndicate will instruct the victim to provide all account information supposedly for audit purposes and after providing the bank account, pin number and online banking password, money will be transferred to the suspect's account.

This scam is seems to be perpetrated the same masterminds behind the Macau scam as the modus operandi seems similar, only the context this time is a KKM officer instead of a LHDN officer.
