A Malaysian man will be charged on Saturday (March 7) for his suspected involvement in a government official impersonation scam.The 38-year-old is the second Malaysian who has been arrested over two days for facilitating scam syndicates to collect cash and valuables, said the police in a statement on Friday (March 6).In all, more than 50 Malaysians have been nabbed for being scam mules in Singapore since May last year.The police said they received a report on March 4 from a victim who was contacted by someone claiming to be from HSBC bank, about unauthoritised transactions made on her credit card.When she denied having a HSBC credit card, the call was transferred to another person claiming to be an officer from the «Commercial Affairs Department» who informed her that she was suspected to be involved in money laundering.The scammer first instructed her to make a withdrawal of $15,000 that was deposited into her bank account.She was then told to purchase more than $130,000 worth of gold from pawnbroker Maxi-Cash, and to leave them on the passenger seat of her unlocked car left at a car park on Upper Boon Keng Road.
