IPOH: A retired teacher lost more than half a million ringgit for entertaining a telephone call said to be from an insurance company.
The 59-year-old woman, from Hutan Melintang, was initially told that she had an insurance claim from a private hospital in Kuala Lumpur before the call was connected to a “police officer” to investigate the source of the money in her account.
“The victim was also instructed not to inform her family about it,” he said in a statement yesterday.
