In another case, an elderly woman lost more than RM2 million after allegedly falling victim to a nonexistent stock investment scheme.
Wangsa Maju police chief ACP Mohamad Lazim Ismail said police received a report from the 66-year-old victim at 11.16am yesterday claiming that she had been deceived by an investment scheme linked to a company introduced by an agent in 2023.
