00:01A Chinese MBA student at a local university lost 20,580 ringgit in tuition fees after being scammed by a
00:11man posing as a currency exchanger.
00:13When her online payment attempts failed, she turned to the suspect, who convinced her to transfer the money via Alipay
00:21before fleeing under the pretext of going to the toilet.
00:24The victim, who wished to be known only as Miss Zhang, recounted her ordeal at a press conference on Tuesday,
00:32organized by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Sri Michael Chong.
00:54But finally, the time was delayed.
00:56And the time was getting closer.
00:59The time was at 8 o'clock at noon.
01:02And I had a social media network for social media.
01:09And the person told me he could help me to save money.
01:15And he also promised me that I can help you to fix this.
01:21Zhang said the man, who identified himself as Hung Ka Wai, showed her a photo of his
01:27MyCard and allowed her to photograph it.
01:30They later met at Hotel Tenera in Bandabaru Bangi at about 10.30pm on the same day, where
01:36the suspect insisted she hand over the money first so he could process the payment on his
01:41phone.
01:42Although suspicious, she complied as she was in a public place with a female friend and
01:47transferred the money at 11.17pm.
01:50After pretending to complete the payment, the man tried to leave before she could verify
01:55the transaction, eventually fleeing using the excuse of going to the toilet.
02:00He is believed to have escaped with an accomplice waiting outside.
02:04A police report was lodged at Bandar Baru Bangi Police Station on March 9.
02:10Chong said CCTV footage from the hotel captured the incident, but police later informed Zhang
02:16that the MyCard number was invalid and possibly manipulated.
02:21Zhang later learned that at least two other Chinese students had also been scammed, with
02:25losses of 5,000 ringgit and 1,000 ringgit.
02:28We are concerned that she has cheated many people.
02:33Because according to one of the complainants who contacted her, contacted Ms. Xiang, and
02:41that complainant told her that he, this fellow, admitted that he wants to con, he's a conman.
02:49He admitted he's a scammer.
02:51So before he scammed more people, it's our duty to stop him.
02:55He urged the public, especially foreign students, to use only licensed money changers and avoid
03:02unofficial services promoted on social media.
03:05Chong also noted a growing trend of scams involving foreign students, particularly from China.
03:11China.
03:11Since 2024, his department has recorded 16 such cases, with total losses amounting to 580,000
03:20ringgit.
03:20There will be a great kind lot of other students, to check it out for it.

03:24Let's go and move on.
03:24However, we should not solve any more problems, so let's take the Four-Fidget Book.
03:24Again, it won't.
