Yesterday Bernama news reported four Africans detained for cheating a housewife by selling her fake notes. Four African men who introduced themselves as currency remittance agents to a housewife were arrested following the discovery of more than 12,000 pieces of forged currency at a luxury condominium here. The 53-year-old victim lodged a police report after losing more than RM17,000 that had been paid to process the release of more than US$3.5 million (RM11.5 million) purportedly sent to her.

He said the victim, who believed what the man had said, later met with the suspect at a car park of a private hospital, here and handed RM5,650 in cash to the suspect.
"After the payment was made, the victim was later asked to make a second payment of US$3,550 (RM11,623) on June 7 at Avenue K, Jalan Ampang, here," he said at a media conference.
Izany said as the victim had not received the remittance that was promised after making two payments, she finally lodged a police report after realising that she had been cheated. He said the victim later received a call from the suspect asking her to make a third payment at Avenue K at about 3pm, last Thursday. He said when the payment was being made, police detained the 27-year-old suspect and later raided a luxury condominium unit at Kampung Baru Ampang, here and detained three other suspects.
Upon inspecting the unit, he said police found 8,400 pieces of RM50 notes, US$100 (4,200 pieces), US$50 (120 pieces), US$20 (30 pieces) and US$10 (80 pieces) which were kept in two suitcases.
"All the suspects who were detained were aged between 22 and 30 and were believed to have entered the country in 2007 using student visas while one of the suspect used a UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) pass," he said.
Izany said the syndicate had been active for the past two years and all the suspects were remanded for 14 days until June 24. They were being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating and Section 489C of the same act for possessing forged currency.
This is just one of the news about how African cheating people in this country. Many other story of Africans doing crime in this country can be found in Malaysia local news. Its time for authority to do something to stop this. In some places, Africans is more then local. It make them think that they own that places and do something that is not a visitor supposed to do in this country. Most of them coming to this country illegally, why no action taken?
