00:07and Kulai between June 20 and July 1. The Johor police told a press conference on Monday
00:14that the victims were believed to be exploited by a scam syndicate, which had been active since
00:19November last year, creating fake social media profiles impersonating attractive women to lure
00:24men into performing sexual acts during video calls. They said they arrested nine suspects
00:29aged between 17 and 50.

02:21It's not their father's fault, and they moved into their bodies by the Turks.
02:23And I think that they were told that they had a call for the times of their peace.
02:26It was not done, and I think that they were denied because of my life.
02:27And I didn't even know that they were named those who were affected by the other people's
