Section 420 of the Penal Code

Once again, internet fraud is very rampant. It must be the holiday season where scammers can gain some time from receipt of payment to supposed shipping day.

If you know of someone who has been scammed through internet purchase in Malaysia, please do urge him/her to make a police report and lodge a claim with the Consumer Tribunal.

I know I have made quite a few posts on this, but I have found out that one should make a police report under Section 420 of the Penal Code.

The charges under Section 420 of the Penal Code carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail, whipping and fine, upon conviction.
