IPOH: A senior citizen was cheated of her life savings just days before Chinese New Year after being convinced to withdraw the money from her fixed deposit for the promise of higher returns through a new bank account. Ng Kam Moi, 80, lost RM77,000 on Feb 9 after fallling prey to a "friendly acquaintance". The former government hospital attendant, from Tanjung Rambutan, said it all started on Feb 3, when her former water filter agent introduced her to a man in his 30s to get a new set of filters.
