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.
