In a troubling incident, news has emerged of an elderly housewife from Teluk Intan falling victim to scammers posing as Polis DiRaja Malaysia aka Royal Malaysian Police agents. The caller, pretending to be from the police force, induced fear in the housewife and coerced her into transferring money to a mule account. The ruse was framed as a deposit essential for investigating a serious criminal case supposedly involving her, highlighting the craftiness of the deception.
