KUALA LUMPUR – A syndicate operating a scam call center from eight luxury condominiums worth RM16 million at Persiaran Stonor was uncovered by police on Wednesday. The properties were purchased in cash by Chinese nationals in stages.
Bukit Aman’s Commercial Crime Investigation Department (JSJK) raided the premises, arresting 14 individuals, including a Turkish national, 11 Chinese nationals, and two locals. The suspects held various roles, from syndicate leader to customer service officers.
Authorities seized RM4.8 million in cash, multiple foreign currencies, two Toyota Alphards, computer equipment, jewelry, and property sale documents worth RM7 million. The syndicate allegedly ran an online gaming scam via the WeGame platform, luring victims in China with promises of luxury prizes such as Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga products.
Victims were asked to make payments to enter competitions but were later unable to contact the syndicate. Investigations revealed that one of the female suspects owned all eight condo units, which were bought gradually since September last year.
Police believe the syndicate's leaders were former spouses and had previously engaged in similar scams in the Philippines, using illicit profits to acquire assets in Malaysia. The suspects entered the country using social visit passes around October last year.
