KUALA LUMPUR: From banks to courthouses and police stations, scammers appear to “represent” just about any organisation under the sun. A few weeks ago, a scammer even claimed to be an officer from the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC), the very entity set up to coordinate quick response in dealing with online financial fraud. “The NSRC does not contact indi­viduals via phone calls or through messaging applications such as WhatsApp. He also emphasised that the police do not conduct investigations solely through phone calls. “The NSRC brings together resources and expertise from all these parties to combat financial fraud more quickly and effectively,” it said.
