Was scammed and lost 3000RM on my one day visit to Malaysia
So I’m a traveller from Australia and was only in Malaysia for a one night layover - which to my luck was enough for me to get scammed.
So I was walking around a shopping centre Lot 10 I think it was (where the Attack On Titan exhibition is) and was approached by two Indian guys. I’m bald, so they saw me and said oh man I used to be bald just like you (and proceeded to show some pictures) and he’s like I used this this and this herbal mixed with some oil and it worked for me. Now I’m stupid for even believing this, but I’m gullible I guess so I took down the information. His friend then said oh I can show you where to get it from, and he took me to this herbal store nearby (I got pictures of the place) and then spoke to the guy and long story short I paid by card and was charged 3000 RM for it.
Now I know it’s probably impossible for me to get this money back but I just want to raise awareness to anyone that may be able to report it to the police and have their store taken down. Since I’m not local I didn’t know who to contact or report it to so I’m hoping someone here can do it. And I’m willing to provide any more information needed.
The location of the store is just next to Hotel Imperial on 76-80, Changkat Bukit Bintang, Bukit Bintang, 50200, Kuala Lumpur
Co-ordinates are (3.1463462, 101.7100327)
