KUALA TERENGGANU, Feb 15 — A 35-year-old businessman lost RM100,900 after being duped by an online share investment scam syndicate that lured him with promises of high returns.

Kuala Terengganu police chief ACP Azli Mohd Noor said the victim received a WhatsApp message on Dec 16 last year from a male Indonesian client offering him a partnership in a share investment scheme.
