00:00Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department Director-Commissioner Datuk S.
00:08Ramli Muhammad Yusuf told the public not to believe in schemes advertised on social media
00:13as they are scams designed to dupe people.
00:17He said this in response to a surge in fraud cases, including the recent case involving
00:21the country's badminton mixed doubles player, Lai Peijing.
00:25I did some research, and there are stories behind it, but maybe it's in our research.
00:32But the report has been done, right?
00:33He's a famous athlete, so it looks like he has a wider coverage.
00:39But he's just a scammer.
00:41I want to advise, before this, don't ask for help from this investment.
00:47Because there is none.
00:49I'm sorry to say, there's nothing right.
00:51In all advertisements, whether it's on Telegram or Facebook, there's nothing right.
00:58I dare to say that.
00:59Because it's said that there's a scam, an investment that shows a video clip and so on.
01:04In the end, it's a scam.
01:06There's no easy way to get money.
01:09There are investments that are shown on stock exchanges and so on.
01:13That's the form of investment.
01:15It's not that some people believe that in three hours, they'll get RM18,000.
01:20There are still some who believe.
01:22I can't understand it either.
01:25Earlier on Friday, Commissioner Ramli officiated the graduation ceremony
01:30for police sergeant trainees at the Police Training Centre.
01:33The 31-year-old, Lai, revealed on her social media accounts earlier this week
01:38that she suffered a huge blow when she lost almost all her life savings to a scam.
01:44Retired badminton men's doubles player Tan Boon Hyong also said he was a victim in 2017.
