A new scam is targeting kind-hearted individuals in Malaysia, particularly students and tourists. Scammers pose as newly arrived Chinese nationals with frozen bank cards, urgently needing money from family members. They ask for help transferring funds, showing fake transfer records and promising favorable exchange rates. The Chinese Embassy in Malaysia has issued a warning about this scam. Victims are advised not to assist with fund transfers until money is received, and to report incidents to local police (999) or the National Anti-Fraud Center (997).
