Syndicates impersonating national scam centre on Facebook
PETALING JAYA:
Police have detected two Facebook accounts impersonating the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) in hopes of duping victims on the social media platform.
Bukit Aman commercial crime investigation department director Rusdi Isa said the syndicates made use of the NSRC’s name to fish for personal information from the victims and scam them of their money.
Rusdi added that the centre did not have any social media pages and could only be contacted through its hotline 997, Sinar Harian reported.
“The NSRC only takes calls from the public, it does not contact people via phone calls or messaging applications like WhatsApp,” he said.
