It appears that an increasing number of scammers are pretending to be employees of government agencies or their representatives in attempts to find new victims.
There has recently been widespread sharing of a claim online regarding scammers impersonating Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK) agents who offer to assist the public with loan restructuring for a fee of 10% of the total loan.
Is this assertion accurate?
VERDICT:
FALSE
This claim is indeed false, and AKPK has taken to its official Facebook page to caution the public about individuals posing as its agents.
“AKPK does not engage agents and does not charge for loan restructuring,” the post stated.
The agency also emphasized that it has never authorized any third parties or agents to provide its services.
