The convenience of the internet and payment sometimes makes it easier for us to make impulsive payments, including shopping and online financial management. To some extent, financial fraud is a product of a combination of online, online payment, and impulse. Of course, the underlying reason behind this is human weakness, such as greed, and a tendency to listen to sweet words.
And the weaknesses of human nature do not distinguish between nations and races, so wherever there are people, there are scams. Today we are talking about a Malaysian victim.
Ultra high profit, 500 to 150000 yuan
The victim was dragged into a group chat by unfamiliar netizens while using the social software Telegram. The chat topic in the group revolves around a trading platform called "MBSB BANK". Some people in the group constantly say that MBSB BANK is very safe, and some people keep posting their own profit screenshots. Under the background of such a group atmosphere, the victim believed and wanted to invest small amounts of money to try.
She initially invested 500 ringgit, but soon after, 500 became 150000, with a profit of up to 300%. The victim did not realize the abnormality at this time and was still very happy. However, the good times did not last long, and as she began to raise questions one by one, they began to emerge.
After applying for withdrawal for the first time, she waited for 6 hours, but instead of receiving the withdrawal, the MBSB BANK staff asked him to pay RM3000 in taxes.
At this moment, the victim was still excited about the profit impact of 150000 yuan, unaware of any wrongdoing, and without hesitation, paid 3000 taxes. But she still hasn't received the withdrawal and receipt notice, and MBSB BANK has once again demanded that she pay an additional RM7000. The victim suddenly realized that they had been deceived. Then she has already invested RM3500 on the MBSB BANK platform.
Later, the victim made multiple attempts to communicate with the MBSB BANK platform to retrieve the principal, but never received any effective response. In the end, she chose to report to the local police station.
Ai Hui Cha Reminder:
Recently, Aihui Cha has repeatedly exposed such fraud cases in Malaysia, and each exposure is on a different platform. The same thing is that the victims are all drawn into the "investment and wealth management" group on social media, tempted by high profits and making small investments, and then being charged various fees for the funds. Although the amount of money scammed is not significant, there are many victims. We hope that domestic and foreign netizens are vigilant against such online investment fraud.
