Police have detained a married couple suspected of being involved in a real estate fraudulent case amounting to about RM400,000 on Friday and today.
The couple would induce their victims into handing over money to them through their company, Takzim Properties which has its office here, as deposit to buy a non-existent house.
They are believed to have cheated people in Johor where there are six investigation papers, and at least one other state, where there are three papers on them.
Head of the Johor Commercial Criminal Investigation Department ACP Mah Khye Beng said the 34-year-old man was detained at 9am on Friday while his wife, 36, who was released after being detained on Wednesday, was re-arrested today.
"The couple were detained in their house in Paloh near Kluang. Police are now investigating the case further under Section 420 of the Penal Code before they are presented in court," he said in a statement today.
"Their modus operandi is to convince the victims to put up money in their scheme as investment for the sale of a house which would be auctioned," he said.
Mah advised the public not to easily believe any investment scheme which promised quick returns.
He said the public should check carefully before making the investment and urged all victims to lodge police reports.
