JOHOR BAHRU, Dec 6 — A female accountant lost RM916,700 after falling victim to a non-existent share investment scam that promised high returns within 24 hours.

Kulai police chief Supt Tan Seng Lee said the 55-year-old victim, enticed by offers of profits between 30 and 40 per cent, made 35 transactions into four local bank accounts between Oct 2 and Nov 11.
