KUALA LUMPUR: Be cautious when dealing with anyone claiming to be government or law enforcement personnel through telephone calls or messages, says Datuk Seri Michael Chong.

The MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head also shared his experience nearly being cheated out of RM1,000 by a man who claimed to be a policeman.

"He told me to call him back once I received the message and I did exactly that," he told reporters at the MCA Public Services and Complaints Department on Friday . "He sounded like a policeman so I naturally obliged and told him that I could make a RM1,000 donation in my capacity at Rela Bersekutu and asked him for all the relevant details.

Chong said although he was aware of such scams, the man on the other end of the phone was quite convincing and sounded like a policeman.
