SHAH ALAM – A woman claims that an unknown person has been using her identity to scam people online, leading two alleged victims to turn up at her home looking for the person they believed had cheated them.
In a post on Threads, Nur Nadzmi Najihah Nasir, 23, said the alleged impersonator used her full name and MyKad details to convince victims that she was behind the scams.
She claimed that the information enabled the victims to trace her home address.
The first incident, she said took place during Hari Raya in 2023, when a man she did not know contacted her after receiving a photo of her MyKad.
Nadzmi said the man, who believed she had scammed him, tracked her down using the address on the card and asked her neighbours to confirm her identity.
She said she lodged a police report immediately, but was told there was little that could be done.
Three years later, another man allegedly came to her house and asked for her by name.
She said the man suspected she was the scammer and only believed her after she showed him the 2023 police report.
The man, she said then advised her to lodge another report, telling her the person he had been dealing with had sent him a photo of her MyKad as "proof."
She said she lodged a second police report on the same day.
Social media accounts allegedly still active
The woman from Hulu Langat said she later came across a Threads post by another alleged victim, who claimed a scammer was using the same name, which left her frustrated that the problem was still continuing.
"I am not the only one affected. It is upsetting to see people around me are also mentally affected by this," she told Sinar Daily.
She alleged that the impersonator had set up at least two TikTok accounts using variations of her name. One of them reportedly has more than 15,000 followers and displays a Malaysian phone number for "financial services."
She claimed that she had repeatedly reported the accounts to TikTok and Facebook, including submitting copies of her police reports, but the accounts remained active.
Despite her repeated reports, including copies of her police reports submitted to TikTok and Facebook, the accounts remained active.
She said TikTok replied that it had reviewed one of the accounts and found no violation of its impersonation policy.
The experience has left her fearful that another person could turn up at her doorstep and accuse her of being a scammer.
Meanwhile, Sinar Daily has contacted the police for comment and is awaiting their response on the matter.
