A Penang woman reportedly sent over RM1m to a supposed Singaporean engineer in Britain and sought a further RM1,100 loan. The loan was refused, so the requested borrowing is not established debt. The contact’s claimed locations are not verified.
Victim location: Malaysia
Unlisted locations remain unknown. Nationality, language and web address alone do not establish where a scam happened.
