PETALING JAYA: A retired teacher has warned people to be extra cautious when purchasing things online and to only use trusted websites, after she was scammed while shopping for a sewing machine.
Relating her ordeal, the 67-year-old woman, who only wanted to be known as Beth, said she saw an advertisement on Instagram for the sale of a sewing machine of a well-known brand.
“Over the next few days, the tracking number showed that the item was picked up by courier service and had passed through Customs checks. “I spoke with my family and we decided that it was just too much hassle to lodge a police report over the matter as I felt I would never get back the cash.“Since then I no longer buy anything from websites I don’t trust or from social media,” she said, advising people to be cautious of any advertisements online.
“Over RM144mil was lost to ecommerce scams in the last eight months, which has already surpassed last year’s losses by over RM56mil. Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Comm Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf echoed Lee’s call for the introduction of legislation to tackle the problem.
