KUALA Lumpur City Hall had no part in the decision to paint over an eight-year-old mural by Russian artist Julia Volchkova at Jalan Panggung.
Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the 25-year-old woman initially received a phone call from an individual claiming to be an officer from the Digital Communications Department, Network Blocking Division on July 2."The phone call was then connected to a suspect posing as a police officer who asked the victim to transfer money for the purpose of the investigation," he said in a media statement on Saturday .
"The deceived victim took out a personal loan of RM128,000, in addition to using her savings to make 11 transactions to six different bank accounts, resulting in losses amounting to RM135,150." Yahaya said the victim realised she had been duped when she checked on a Google application related to online fraud before lodging a police report at the Rompin district police headquarters yesterday. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
Meanwhile, he advised the public who receive suspicious calls to immediately check with the police or the relevant government agency to avoid becoming victims of fraud. - Bernama
