Rozita Mohamed Rosli also unlawfully used her computer to look for the victim’s information in an internal system.
The victim raised funds after pawning her gold bracelet and handed $4,000 in cash to Rozita Mohamed Rosli in July 2022.
Rozita even suggested the victim borrow money from her brother-in-law when she said she did not have enough cash at the time. Rozita, who has since returned the full amount to the victim, was an individual insolvency administrator at IPTO at the time of the offences. Rozita was at her workplace when she unlawfully used her computer to look for the victim’s information in an internal computer system. She then found out the victim was a bankrupt.They were with a group of friends later that month when Rozita asked the victim if they could speak in private. She then duped the victim into believing that a $4,000 top-up was required as part of a process to discharge herself from bankruptcy.
On Dec 13, 2022, the victim received an e-mail from MinLaw involving her certificate of discharge in bankruptcy. She asked Rozita for the refund but failed to receive the money.
