A Latin American gang is believed to be behind a spate of Automated Teller Machine (ATM) "hijacks" involving more than RM800,000 being stolen from banks in Selangor and Johor over the last 24 hours.

The gang was said to have used a high tech software and modified mobile SIM card to bypass the ATM system and "empty" the ATM machines through multiple cash withdrawals done by its members.

Two of the cases were reported in Selangor and one in Johor according to police. The police added that this is the first reported case of money being stolen from ATM machines using such a method.

The first incident was reported in Batu Pahat, Johor at about 9.48am yesterday where the gang managed to withdraw RM265,000 through a series of withdrawals after it managed to hack into the ATM system.

The gang left behind only RM5,103 in the machine.

Their actions were recorded on closed circuit television cameras (CCTV).

It is believed that the software used by the gang, coupled with the "altered" mobile SIM card, had allowed them to override the withdrawal limit, which is usually set at a maximum of RM10,000 per account.

Police said two more incidents occurred in Selangor, specifically Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya about eight hours later.

The criminals, believed to be from the same gang which had struck in Johor, made off with about RM610,000 using the same modus operandi.

Subang Jaya police chief assistant commissioner of police Yahya Ramli told Bernama that in the incident, the men withdrew money from two ATMs hundreds of times in one day.

He said the case is now being investigated under Section 4(1) of the Computer Criminal Act 1997.
“This is the first time such a modus operandi has been used. The suspects hacked into the ATM system to get to the money without having to break open the machine,” he added, according to Bernama.

The suspects were believed to have made 137 withdrawals at around 5.30pm in Subang Jaya yesterday.
The bank management only realised that something was not right when they conducted a check on the particular ATMs.

The same thing also happened at two ATMs in Petaling Jaya at about the same time yesterday.

Petaling Jaya police chief assistant commissioner Azmi Abu Kassim said CCTV checks showed the suspects had opened the top of the two ATMs and had inserted something in it at midnight.

A total of RM303,000 was missing from the affected ATMs. – September 28, 2014.

US women cheated by Nigerian scammers in Malaysia? - The Rakyat Post

http://ift.tt/1rQ08S5 KUALA LUMPUR, July 9: Hundreds of American women are being ensnared by Internet scammers based in Malaysia, with some losing over a quarter of a million dollars, as the country becomes an epicentre for online crime perpetrated by Africans, US officials say. The mostly Nigerian conmen, who enter Malaysia on student visas, take advantage of the country’s good Internet infrastructure to prey on lonely, middle-aged women, wooing them on dating websites before swindling their savings, they said. The scams are more sophisticated than most Nigeria-based operations – which most Internet users have experienced at some time either via email or advertising – helped by Malaysia’s advanced banking system, which allows perpetrators to quickly set up accounts and receive international transfers. US officials say Malaysian police lack the resources and expertise to tackle the problem and have yet to launch a single prosecution of a case involving a US victim. Malaysian police were reported by local media last December as saying that the number of Internet scam cases more than doubled in 2013 with total losses of more than US$11 million (RM35 million). A total of 476 Africans had been apprehended for suspected involvement, the report said. A spokesman for Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said he was not aware of scammers operating in Malaysia, but added they were known to have international networks. Tim Scherer, consul general at the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur, said complaints about such scams now made up more than 80% of inquiries to duty officers at the mission, with a dozen new cases reported every week. Citizens of Australia, Canada and Europe had also been targeted, he said. “These are not rich widows who are being preyed on, these are middle-class Americans who don’t have this kind of money to spare,” he said. “It can really transform their lives in a very terrible way.” The US embassy estimates that US victims are losing several million dollars a year, with two women in the past 12 months losing more than US$250,000 each. There are more than 600 cases a year, and the amount lost by each victim averages in the tens of thousands of dollars, it said. The actual figure of total losses is probably far higher, Scherer said, because many victims are too embarrassed to come forward or do not know who to contact. He said the scammers were highly sophisticated, often grooming victims for months and using convincing techniques such as forging letters purportedly from the US ambassador in Malaysia. Large teams of scammers typically trawl dating or Christian websites and contact middle-aged women, the US officials said. They pretend to be a Western man who then gets into legal or business difficulties in Muslim-majority Malaysia. One US victim said she transferred a total of US$260,000 to Malaysia, where the man who claimed to love her said he was being prevented from returning to the US by Malaysian bureaucracy – which required hefty payments to negotiate. The 59-year-old widow from Phoenix, Arizona, who declined to be identified, said she had gone heavily into debt to make the payments to “Charles”, and even flew to Malaysia in March to meet him. He never showed up, but a European woman claiming to be his lawyer managed to bilk another US$25,000 out of the woman before she returned to Arizona. Another victim, a women in her late 50s in the eastern US, said she sent her life savings of US$300,000 over two months to a Malaysia-based “American” man she met on dating site Match.com, three years after her husband died. “I felt like I was in love with this man and we’d be moving forward with a life together real soon,” she said. Match.com did not respond to a Reuters request for comment. Along with other major US-based dating sites, it features prominent warnings about scammers, specifically telling users to be wary of people who say they are Americans based abroad. The conmen have exploited Malaysia’s drive to become a global education hub, securing student visas to attend college, the US officials said. Malaysia has pursued a policy of attracting international students for more than a decade, allowing dozens of foreign colleges to set up Malaysian campuses. Scherer said it was likely that many of the Nigerians in Malaysia were not genuine students. As of March, there were 9,146 Nigerians on student visas in Malaysia, the education ministry said, out of 123,000 overseas students in total. “Once in the country as students, there’s very little effort to verify their studies,” Scherer said. An official with Malaysia’s education ministry said that last year it tightened its vetting and tracking of overseas students. “We are aware of problems with some international students, especially Nigerians,” the official said.

An Anti-Christian Facebook Page Spreading Lies

Yesterday (22 June 2014), I saw a post shared by a friend which showing photos of a catholic church in Sarawak during an Easter Ceremony that captioned with untrue statement, that the church is burning Quran. Straight away I have also noticed that it was posted by a page named "Legasi Kongsi Gelap Melayu". Unfortunately the page has been closed down today and I didn't managed to capture a screenshot of the post.

That kind of post is surely could sparks racial flames, and this kind of manner should  be stopped to ensure the peace and harmony of our country. Since the government and the law enforcer have full access to intercept the communications in our country, I hope that they will make sure this will not keep happening.
