Malaysian woman cheated of RM5 million by an American general

An "American General" has fleeced a lonely, single Malaysian mother of RM5 million. The woman met the general through a social networking site.

The woman sold her property and handed over the proceeds to the general without realizing she had cheated. According to police, the 63-year old woman had sold her bungalow in a posh side of Kuala Lumpur for RM3.5 million. She had also sold her lands and borrowed from friends to raise another RM1.5 million to give to the general.

Her son later lodged a police report but the woman refused to believe that the general did not exist.
