Kuala lumpur: The Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) has firmly denied any association with the National Financial Crimes Prevention Centre (NFCC) as an official agency for a purported money refund assistance programme aimed at aiding fraud victims.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, CCID's director, Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa, reported the emergence of a digital document titled "appointment letter," which allegedly bore his signature. It is believed this document was fabricated and distributed with fraudulent intentions. "CCID denies ever issuing the document. For your information, the money refund assistance programme as stated in the document does not exist and any claims about it are false and misleading to the public," he announced in a statement.

Rusdi emphasized that the return of funds to fraud victims is not part of an assistance programme but is instead a responsibility undertaken by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM). This process is governed by existing legal frameworks, investigative outcomes, and decisions made by relevant authorities.

The department urges the public to refrain from engaging with any parties claiming to offer such refund assistance, especially those seeking payments, personal information, banking details, or identification documents under the guise of official entities like PDRM, CCID, or any government agency without formal verification.

"The public is also advised to always check through official PDRM channels or the nearest police station and immediately report any suspicious information or activity to avoid becoming a victim of fraud," Rusdi advised.
