Kuala Lumpur, 4th February 2021 - Government and law enforcement agencies do not transfer calls between themselves to investigate fraud, money laundering or any other crime, says Bukit Aman.

Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Director Commissioner, CP Dato’ Zainuddin Yaacob said, the police and other government agencies do not have such levels of interconnectivity, which means the police officer can only transfer a call to another policeman and not to a completely separate agency.

"There is no such thing as Bank Negara Malaysia officers transferring your call to a police investigation officer or vice versa.

“We do not work that way.

"Another tell tale sign of a scam is when they advise you to transfer money to avoid it being frozen. Police do not offer such facilities.

"We will also never call and threaten to arrest someone. If you have not committed any crime, you have nothing to fear in this aspect.

"Just end the call and go to the nearest police station. Our personnel will advise you on what to do next," he told The Star.
