SEREMBAN: Police are set to gather more information from the Companies Commission of Malaysia on Tuesday (Dec 26) in relation to the wedding planner who has been accused of deceiving a family over a wedding reception package in Jempol, an incident that has gone viral.
Jempol District Police chief Supt Hoo Chang Hook stated that they have managed to trace the bank account number and obtain information about the account owner through the Commercial Crime Intelligence System (CCIS) portal and the telecommunication companies they utilized.
“We will refer to the SSM for the details of the business owner and account number. The victim, who is also the bride, mentioned that she never met the wedding planner from Shah Alam, Selangor face to face and all transactions were conducted online,” he said.
“Based on preliminary investigations, the 26-year-old woman dealt with the company on April 3 on Facebook before making three payments online totalling RM13,200 for the wedding, which was held two days ago,” he said in a statement.
He added that the woman did not receive the promised package and lodged a police report before the wedding ceremony.
Hoo stated that the case is currently being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.
Yesterday, the media reported that a family claimed to have lost over RM13,000 after being deceived by a wedding planner for a wedding package, resulting in them having to cook meals on their own for the wedding feast. – Bernama
