Not a week goes by without the news of someone losing their life savings to a scam artist who has promised them eternal love… after RM10,000 is transferred into a bank account to cover travel expenses. In our monthly series with Bukit Gasing Assemblyperson Rajiv Rishyakaran, we speak to Lee Ching Wei of iMoney on why some Malaysians are still a gullible lot and how we can avoid the pitfalls of being scammed.
