PORT DICKSON: The next time a friend, family member or a superior calls or sends you a message on your mobile phone asking for a loan, you may want to first verify if it is really him or her before considering.

Port Dickson OCPD Supt Aidi Sham Mohamed said 12 reports have been lodged in the district so far this year by victims who have been cheated by individuals masquerading someone they knew.Supt Aidi Sham said the suspects would use an unidentified number and then tell the intended victim they have either lost their phone or that it was no longer in working order.

"And if they are sending a message on WhatsApp for example, they will use the profile picture of the so-called sender to hoodwink the victim," he said in a statement. "This is also to ensure the victims do not become suspicious upon seeing the name of a stranger when transferring or banking the money into the account," he said.
