63-Year-Old Investor Scammed Out of RM300,000 by Cryptocurrency Platform 'Silegx'
According to the police, in November last year, an investor from Malaysia stumbled upon a cryptocurrency investment platform called “Silegx” on social media platform Facebook.
The investor decided to invest through the platform on Nov 25 last year and earned RM20,698 in return on Jan 1 this year.
The investor who got the returns decided to continue investing. However, as he invested more and more, the returns did not rise as he found the withdrawal was blocked!
In order to withdraw, customer had to pay more fees, which makes the victim suspicious and believe that he has been cheated.
Throughout the “investment” process, the victim initiated ten transfers to nine different bank accounts of the scammers, amounting to over RM300,000.
The local police reminded the public to do proper and thorough research before engaging in any online investment activities to avoid becoming a victim of fraud and not to be easily influenced by investment schemes that promise lucrative returns.
