A WOMAN who is believed to have conned hundreds of VIPs and artistes of RM432mil is now on the police most-wanted list.
Her victims include veteran rock singers Amy Search, Hattan and Awie, as well as Misha Omar and the wife of a Tan Sri who lost RM26 mil.
Police believe Rohaniza Aladib, 31, has absconded to Australia.
Her case as well as statements by several artistes who had fallen victim to her con-game was reported by Harian Metro.
Hattan and Awie admitted to having been conned by the woman who always appeared “decent”. Their loss totalled almost RM2mil.
Quoting a spokesman from the commercial crime unit in Bukit Aman, the tabloid said Rohaniza lured her victims to part with their money by promising them very high return of up to 50% of their investment within 30 days.
As in any scams, her victims would receive the high return as promised on their initial investment, thus encouraging them to “invest” more, including using money collected from friends and family members.
Hattan said he initially invested only RM50,000 but after receiving good returns, he increased his investment until it reached a total of RM1.4mil.
Awie meanwhile said he lost RM50,000 to the woman who had promised him a return of 30% within 45 days.
