“The woman was required to bank in money until the target value of goods ordered from the Shopee, Lazada or Zalora platforms by the company is reached,” he said in a statement here.
Using the Employees Provident Fund money left behind by her late stepfather, the woman made 15 deposits totalling RM138,990 into six different accounts between July 22 and 25, he added.
Aidi Sham said the woman was promised a commision of 2.5 per cent and full return of her deposits once she hit the target order.
Aidi Sham said the woman lodged a police report on Tuesday after she was not paid any commission and was instead asked to bank in more money despite meeting the target.
