Internet financial scam

The star online 14.5.11
GEORGE TOWN: When college student Kang Ping Ping replied an email which he had been ignoring for several months, little did he know that he would end up RM10,000 poorer.

Kang, 22, a mechatronics student, said he had been receiving the same email purportedly from a local bank for the past three months.I replied the email on May 9 without suspecting anything until I received a call from my bank the next day.

Kang, 22, a mechatronics stu- dent, said he had been receiving the same email purportedly from a local bank for the past three months.
“The bank wanted confirmation from me about the transfer of funds totalling RM10,000 from my account on May 9 and 10.

“I was immediately taken aback by the call and told them that I never made such transactions,” he told a press conference at the Penang MCA headquarters on Jalan Pahang yesterday.

Kang said the contents of the email had looked very convincing.

He lodged a police report on May 10 and approached the state MCA for help.

Penang MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau deputy chief Lim Thoon Deong said Kang’s money was found to have been transferred to another bank account under a foreigner’s name.

“The police are acting on the report and trying to locate the account holder,” said Lim.

He added that the account with a balance of only RM500 had been frozen.

  2. Please do not trust alibaba online order especially in Malaysia, they publish as trader & wholesaler of kitchen aid but after i have transfer money to one named NOORFADILLAH MAD Z AT PUBLIC BANK BHD, he has gone disappear. His PBB a/c# is 4758382624. Please be reminded that they always use Kuching address but the state they put Sabah/Sarawak. I hope bank negara/PBB can help me to get back my money of RM530 which i have transferred into his a/c. When i requested his western union acc, he gave me as DOBONG ALEX. His handphone# is 0162432163. At first their company name is Hakam Kitchenaid, now i believe they have changed to Haruto kitchen aid, please take note.
