Sarawak police commissioner Azman Ahmad Sapri said that the man, who is in his fifties, purchased three tickets after seeing it advertised on the e-commerce platform Carousell.

“The victim then went to a bank in Kuching to make three separate transactions to the bank account provided by the suspect,” Azman said in a statement.

However, the engineer said the seller could not be contacted after that.

The victim realised that he had been cheated and lodged a police report for further action, Azman said.
