Last night, I saw NTV7 news report about 76 people arrested for “African scams”. The operation, codenamed "OPS TIONG" which started at 11pm on Monday, lasted until 4am this morning. Among the agencies involved were the Bukit Aman CID, Tourism Malaysia, Immigration Department and Higher Education Ministry. Three simultaneous raids were carried out in Sentul, Ampang and Kepong. Police said investigators moved into more than 20 units at the three locations after more than three months of observation at the sites. Most of the people arrested are Nigerians including three women; 70 Nigerians (67 men and three women), three Cameroon men, two Papua New Guinea men and a Thai woman, whose ages are between 20 and 30s.

Bukit Aman commercial crime investigations deputy director Datuk SAC Rodwan Mohd Yusof said police received 945 reports from January to October this year over con jobs that included parcel scams, black money, inheritance swindle and black magic.

A parcel scam is where the schemer would inform a victim that he or she had received parcels with expensive gifts, jewellery or cash but the parcels had been detained by Customs. The victim is then persuaded to make a payment to a stipulated account for the parcel to be released. The schemers reaped RM19.6mil from this scam, the biggest loss suffered by the victims. This was followed by the black money scam, which netted RM1.4mil for the schemers.
