Kuala Lumpur: A bitter lesson of love was learnt by a local businesswoman who claimed that she was cheated by a 'Love Scam' syndicate masterminded by Nigerians, causing her to lose RM20,000. The woman, 42, who lived in Wangsa Melawati, had gotten acquainted since March to a man who claimed he was an American on the social media.

Wangsa Maju Police Chief, Supt Mohamad Roy Suhaimi Sarif said the man then instructed her to at first deposit RM20,000, into a local account with the excuse that he would be coming to Malaysia to claim his late father's inheritance but faced financial problems to do so as he only had RM20,000 in his account.

"The victim was then instructed for the second time to deposit RM450,000 but, suspecting foul play, she filed a police report on July 27," Muhamad Roy said in a statement here. – Bernama
