Two male taxi drivers were cheated – possibly by the same man – in the same way on two separate occasions on Sunday after the man told them he could get them a good deal on a mobile phone, so on checking the phone both victims believed it to be genuine and bought it but later found out that it was a fake one, Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesman Tam Weng Keong said yesterday.
Tam announced details of the case during a regular press conference yesterday.
According to Tam, the two cases occurred at 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. outside the Ponte 16 casino-resort and in Patane district respectively on Sunday.
