KUALA LUMPUR: A total of RM29,313 belonging to an actress has disappeared after unauthorised withdrawals were made from her personal bank account through 11 transactions from Jan 8 to 12.
Brickfields district police chief, Assistant Commissioner Amihizam Abdul Shukor said the 40-year-old victim only realised her money went missing after checking her account statement last Saturday.
"The victim in this case checked her personal account statement on Jan 13 and discovered 11 transactions starting from Jan 8 that were carried out without her knowledge.
"The victim filed a police report, denying and stating that she had never provided her banking details to any party," he said in a statement today.
According to him, the victim also denied receiving or sharing the one-time password (OTP) for all the transactions with any party.
He said the police also verified the victim's statement through a viral video uploaded on social media, claiming that her savings suddenly disappeared without her knowledge.
The case is being investigated under Section 4(1) of the Computer Crime Act 1997 for unauthorised access.
"The public is advised not to speculate on this case.
