Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 47814, member: 636"] Malaysia plans to fight online scammers with a brand new 24-hour hotline system. Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution announced that police officers will run the upgraded National Scam Response Centre around the clock. Bank Negara Malaysia and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission will help police handle fraud cases. The government wants to stop victims from losing their money to clever criminals. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim already approved the major changes to protect regular people. Scam victims used to call different phone numbers and wait until morning for help. Four separate government agencies handled cases without talking to each other about solutions. The messy system meant crooks had more time to steal money from bank accounts. Victims often lost their savings because nobody could act fast enough to stop the thieves. The new plan puts everything under one roof for better teamwork. Police officers will answer emergency calls about online fraud at any time of day or night. They will quickly write down victim details and contact information about stolen bank accounts. Officers will immediately tell banks to freeze suspicious accounts before scammers can withdraw the cash. The first priority involves stopping criminals from accessing victim money as fast as possible. Recovery efforts will start right after accounts get locked down. The improved scam center will have more workers dedicated to fighting internet fraud full-time. Staff members from various agencies will work together under the same management team. A special office will house all the anti-scam operations with clear rules for everyone. The 24-hour service means help arrives whenever people need protection from online criminals. [/QUOTE]
