阿末卡立全请民众不要轻易相信在社交媒体结识不久的朋友，避免醉入诈骗案。

A 72-year-old woman of Chinese descent suspected of misbelieving in phone fraud. As a result, her parents left an inheritance of 4.3 million ringgit (about 1.41 million SGD) were cheated away!
The former piano teacher “Dolly Ng”, 30 years ago, after inheriting the inheritance left to her by her parents, deposited the money into several banks. Unexpectedly, she fell into the trap of fraudulent syndicates. Over the years, her deposits “turned water overnight.”
According to “The Star” report, she received a call from a self-proclaimed police officer in May last year, stating that her bank account had been frozen due to investigation.
She said that in order to avoid being unable to use the deposits, the other party advised her to open a new account to transfer the deposits from the old account to the new account, so she followed the other party’s instructions to transfer the 4.3 million ringgit to the new account.
Transfer 18 accounts and sued the bank for claims
“As a result, two months later, I learned from a friend’s conversation that it turned out that this was a scam tactic, so I hurried to the bank to check.”
She said that as soon as she checked the bank, she realized that there was only RM14,000 in the bank account, and she reported the incident to the police.
According to the transfer records obtained by the woman from the bank, starting from July 16 last year, her account was transferred to 18 different people’s bank accounts within 45 days, a total of 459 remittances.
She asked, she did not open an online banking service for her account, but why did the bank allow transfers without her approval?
“I am old and retired. This is the only deposit I have, and I don’t have any income.”
She said that she had sued the bank through judicial channels to recover the lost money. At the same time, she emphasized that the bank lost her deposit, so it is necessary to return the money to her. The case has been brought to court.

(巴生讯）72岁华裔老妇疑误信电话诈骗，结果父母留下430万令吉（约141万新元）遗产惨被骗走！
这名前钢琴教师“Dolly Ng”是在30年前，继承父母留给她的遗产后，将款项分别存入数个银行，岂料误坠诈骗集团陷阱，多年来的存款“一夜化水”。
根据《星报》的报道，她是在去年5月份接获一名自称警员的电话，指她的银行户头因被调查所以已遭冻结。
她说，为避免无法动用存款，对方劝她开设新的户头以将旧有户头内的存款，转入新户头内，于是她也跟着对方指示做，将430万令吉转入新户头内。

“结果两个月后，我从一名朋友谈话中获知，原来这是诈骗集团的手法，于是赶紧到银行去查看。”
她说，一查看银行才惊觉银行户头内只剩下1万4000令吉，便向警方报案。
根据妇女从银行获取的转账记录，她的户头从去年7月16日开始，分别在45天内，转账给18个不同人的银行户头，共459笔汇款。
她质问，她并没有为自己的户头开设线上银行服务，但为何没有她的批准情况下，银行允许转账呢？
“我已经老了，也都退休了，这是我仅存的存款，也没有任何收入了。”
她说，她已透过司法途径起诉银行，以索回失去的金钱，同时强调是银行弄丢她的存款，所以有必要将钱还给她，案件已入禀法庭。
