JOHOR BARU: A 39-year-old cellphone salesman has been cheated of more than RM50,000 in an investment scam.

Lee Wei Wah was approached by a woman about investing in an alleged Japanese company in June last year, which promised to double the profit of the amount invested.

He said the woman told him over the phone that it required a minimum investment of RM50,000 to get such a return.

“The woman told me not to tell anyone else or I will not get such a profit.

“I paid the RM850 registration fee and received two certificates, which were faxed to me,” he said, adding that the woman promised to deposit the profit into his account after the full investment was made.

Blinded by greed, Lee said he continued to deposit money into different bank accounts, which amounted to RM56,682, with the hope of doubling his money.

But he did not get any returns after a few weeks of making the last payment.

“I tried calling the woman and even went to her office in Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, but I could not locate her,” he told a press conference organised by Johor Baru MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau deputy chief Michael Tay here yesterday.

Lee has also lodged a police report at the Johor Baru Central police station.

Meanwhile, Tay said he would meet with police and bank representatives to help expedite the investigations.

He also reminded the people not to be easily fooled by the promise of easy money.

Johor Baru (South) OCPD Asst Comm Zainuddin Yaakob said police were investigating the matter.
