PENANG: A durian picker who allowed his bank account to be used in a RM560,000 SMS scam reported here has been arrested in Pahang.� The man was picked up by Bentong police on Nov 26 and handed over to George Town police for questioning a few days later.� Sources said the 23-year-old man was introduced to a Chinese national by a friend a few months ago while visiting Kuala Lumpur. �The Chinese national asked him if he was interested in making some money. He was told to open a bank account and he would be given 2% of the money withdrawn. � �The foreigner accompanied him to make five withdrawals amounting to more than RM50,000 over three weeks.� �The withdrawals were made from various bank branches in Kuala Lumpur. The man went back to Pahang after being given RM1,000,� the sources said.� A 32-year-old computer analyst was reportedly cheated of RM560,000 on Sept 10 after receiving a SMS notification about winning RM1.43mil in an Internet lucky draw.� She subsequently deposited the money into 14 bank accounts between July and August. A police report was lodged when her �winnings� failed to materialise.� It is learnt that two syndicates based in Hong Kong and Taiwan have conned many people in SMS scams over the past two years.�
