KUALA LUMPUR: An alleged forex scam syndicate is said to have swindled around RM12mil from 629 victims. One of the victims, Eng Keen Niam, said he was approached by an old friend to invest in the scheme. However, in October last year, several investors who enquired about withdrawing money from the scheme encountered difficulties. "When we tried to contact my friend's boss, we were told to deal directly with him (my friend) instead," Eng said. But if it is a scam, my lawyer will go all out to get justice," he said.
