THE Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has refuted the authenticity of a circulating document claiming to appoint the National Financial Crime Prevention Centre (NFCC) as the official entity for disbursing funds to fraud victims.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (JSJK) Director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa stated that the so-called “Appointment Letter” was fabricated and distributed as part of a scam. The document is falsely purported to have been signed by the JSJK Director.
“JSJK denies ever issuing the said document. For clarification, there is no such assistance programme for returning funds as stated in the document, and any claims to that effect are false and misleading to the public,” Rusdi said in a statement on Friday.
He emphasised that the process of returning money to victims of fraud is not a form of aid programme.
Instead, it represents PDRM’s legal obligation and commitment, conducted in accordance with applicable laws, investigative outcomes, and the decisions of relevant authorities.
Rusdi advised the public to exercise caution and refrain from believing, sharing, or engaging with any individuals or organisations claiming to offer fund recovery services, particularly if they request payment, personal information, banking details, or identification documents using the names of PDRM, JSJK, or any government agency without official verification.
“The public is encouraged to verify information through official PDRM channels or their nearest police station and to report any suspicious activities immediately to avoid falling victim to scams,” he added.
This warning comes amid growing concerns over fraudulent schemes exploiting official-looking documents to deceive victims of financial crimes, highlighting the need for vigilance and verification through authorised authorities. - December 19, 2025
