00:00A couple who staged road accidents to extort money from motorists in the Klang Valley six months ago
00:10is believed to have resurfaced in Negri Sembilan.
00:14This time, their alleged victims are two car rental operators in Seremban
00:18who said the pair rented vehicles from them
00:20and used the cars to carry out similar scams since early November.
00:25Both vehicles were later found badly damaged and abandoned.
00:28One of the owners, who wished to be known only as Muhammad Iqbal,
00:33said the couple rented a car from him between October 4th and 18th.
00:37When they failed to make payments for two days,
00:40he tried calling them but could not reach either of them.
00:43The 40-year-old said he managed to track down the car
00:46but was shocked to find it extensively damaged.
00:58Another rental operator, Fitri Sinan, said he also suffered losses
01:06after renting a car to the same couple for five days in September.
01:09Hari yang ketiga, dia beritahu kereta accident.
01:14Kereta accident, lepas itu dia beritahu kereta dah masuk bengkel
01:17tapi dia tak nak beritahu bengkel kat mana.
01:19After 24 hours pun, dia tak beritahu lokasi bengkel kat mana
01:22dan kita terus cari lah melalui GPS tracker.
01:26Dan bila kita dah sampai ke bengkel tu,
01:30barulah bengkel pun tahu cerita macam mana gini
01:33dan saya terus take over lah case tu untuk repair apa semua.
01:39Both owners lodged police reports and took their case
01:42to MCA Public Services and Complaints Department Head,
01:45Datuk Sri Michael Chong, on Monday.
01:48Chong said he learnt the couple had lodged more than 100 police reports
01:52related to accidents they allegedly staged over recent months.
01:56Now they're going to Melaka.
01:57Step by step, they're going to use this trick motor separately,
02:02borrow the car, rent the car.
02:05After renting the car, they go and bank people
02:07and store people, this couple.
02:11Very particular, very special case.
02:14He said many victims suffered financial losses
02:16either by paying the couple on the spot
02:19or losing their no-claim discount, NCD,
02:22after making insurance claims.
02:24Chong said he is compiling all related reports
02:27and hopes to meet federal police to push for swift action.
02:30So we want to alert the police now
02:32to take action immediately
02:35because this is a con job.
02:38This is a scam.
02:39This is causing life, you know,
02:42innocent life and threatening people.
02:45Be careful, because especially I'm worried about children inside the car
02:49and all these things, be careful.
02:52And we hope that the police
02:54will take immediate action, okay,
02:57on this, on this copy, this scam.
03:02Chong first highlighted the issue in May
03:04after a dozen motorists came forward
03:06claiming the man, who typically drove,
03:09would intentionally collide with their vehicles
03:11and demand compensation on the spot.
03:14He often asked for large sums
03:16but would settle for less after negotiations.
03:19He's having a chance.
03:22I'm Chapman LECON
03:25You're notijn.
03:28I let him know.
03:30I hope he lost Dad's question.
03:33I have another one.
03:35I feel like looking at him
03:37because there's a reactions
03:38and a factaber
03:40somebody that's on the spot
03:42where he's sick.
03:43And even I feel like
03:44that's a good idea.
03:46I think that too
03:47at the end of these things
