Millions lost in e-invest scam

Nation Saturday April 21, 2007
Millions lost in e-invest scam

Quote:
PENANG: Thousands of people nationwide are believed to have lost several million ringgit in an Internet “investment” scheme known as buy-e-barrel which has closed down abruptly.

Investors have been unable to log onto their online accounts over the past two weeks.

An investor, who declined to be named, said he managed to “escape” before the US-based pyramid scheme collapsed.

“I made a few thousand ringgit from the scheme which offered daily interest of between 2% and 3% for an investment of between US$100 (RM345) and US$2,000 (RM6,900),” he said.

He believed that many of those who lost their money were government servants, adding that they took part in the scheme at the tailend.

George Town OCPD Asst Comm Azam Abd Hamid said the police were aware of such a scheme but had yet to receive any report from those who lost money.

He advised victims to lodge police reports if they had been cheated so that they could investigate the case as cheating.

The Securities Commission has issued an alert on more than 50 websites which

promised quick returns with minimum investments and urged the public not to invest in them.

“These websites are not authorised or approved under the country's securities laws to deal in securities or whatever investments,” ACP Azam said.

A check by The Star found that buy-e-barrel was among the websites mentioned in the SC list at: www.sc.com.my/eng/html/licensing/ investors/Alert_list.html.

The SC recently froze two bank accounts with RM1.6mil and closed two websites

said to be connected to a global Internet investment scam run by Cambridge Capital Trading.

Last week, the National Fatwa Council passed a fatwa forbidding Muslims from investing in shares on the Internet.

Student falls victim to Net scam

Nation Saturday April 21, 2007
Student falls victim to Net scam
Quote:
PENANG: A student lost all her college fees totalling RM148,000 to a syndicate which told her that she had won RM3.3mil in two Internet lucky draws.

The 20-year-old student first received a call on March 20 from a woman telling her that she had won RM120,000 in a Hong Kong Turf Club online draw.

But in order to collect her winnings, she was told to deposit RM46,000 as insurance and processing fees.

She then transferred the amount into an overseas bank account on March 30.

George Town OCPD Asst Comm Azam Abd Hamid said that later the same day, she received another call from a man informing her that she had won an extra RM3.2mil in a bonus draw.

“She managed to raise a further RM102,000. The money was then deposited into the same account on Wednesday.

“After not hearing anything from the callers, she realised she had been cheated and made a police report the next day,” he said yesterday.

ACP Azam said a check showed that the phone number used to call the victim was registered in China, adding that the case had been classified as cheating.

“This was not the first time that such a thing had occurred. We have issued several warnings through the media but such cases continue to occur.

“The syndicate could also be behind several cases reported in the state over the past several months,” he said.

There’s no short cut to wealth

There’s no short cut to wealth
By ROSLINA MOHAMAD
Quote:
KUANTAN: There is no short cut to wealth, not even via the Internet, advised Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak yesterday.

He urged the public not to put their earnings and savings in cyber get-rich-quick schemes which he likened to similar scams popular some 20 years ago.

“There are severe and dangerous effects to the schemes offered through the Internet. Your entire life savings can go up in smoke and when this happens, your retirement days will not look that rosy,” he told reporters after officially launching the Malaysian Unit Trust Week (MSAM) organised by Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) at Padang MPK 2 here.

Najib said the Internet investment schemes were similar to previous get-rich-quick scams that were so popular during the 1980s such as Pak Man Telo.

On whether there were any legal means that could be exercised so action could be taken on the operators who used the Internet as the medium, Najib said the Government would have to look into the matter .

Crystal marvels: Najib with (from left ) Pahang Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob, PNB CEO Tan Sri Hamad Kama Piah and Ahmad Sarji at an exhibition showcasing crystal replicas of buildings in the country in Kuantan yesterday.
Earlier in his speech, Najib said he still received reports of people being duped by the schemes.

“Do not think that everything in the Internet is good,” he added.

On MSAM, Najib said he believed it was an important medium to create public awareness and education on investment for it would promote wise spending, encourage people to save and invest in schemes such as those offered by PNB.

The unit trusts gave good returns and were safe, two important criteria when making an investment, he added.

MSAM is held from April 20 to April 29. It aims to promote investment education to the society.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will close the event on April 29.

The MSAM features 184 exhibition booths representing 54 firms and institutions includ-ing PNB subsidiaries such as ICI Paints (M) Sdn Bhd, Chemical Company of Malaysia Bhd, Golden Hope Plantations Bhd and Takaful Ikhlas Sdn Bhd.

All 'pyramids' will reach a point where they can't be sustained anymore and collapse. The organisers will then laugh all the way to the bank.

So sad that there are still so many who are gullible.
