Fake email domain. The sender is using @ gmail.com
Official agencies like Polis Diraja Malaysia ( Royal Malaysia Police )
or Agensi Keselamatan Siber Negara (National Cyber Security Agency (NACSA), Malaysia) do NOT use Gmail but official domains like
@ rmp.gov.my or @ nacsa.gov.my
It also claims “Polis Malaysia” and “NACSA” together
- Polis Diraja Malaysia handles criminal enforcement
- Agensi Keselamatan Siber Negara is a policy/coordination body, not enforcement
They don’t issue summons like this via random email
- Generic and threatening language“. Respond within 24 hours or face legal action” (classic scare tactic used by scammers)
- No personal details, No name, IC number, case number, or official officer contact - real notices are specific and traceable
- Suspicious formatting & references - Fake reference number
- Odd combination of addresses and departments
- Poorly structured official wording
THE ATTACHMENT
Why this “conviction notice” is fake
1. No such authority exists
The document claims:
“Central Office for the Fight against Crime Related to Information and Communication Technology”
There is no such official body in Malaysia Real enforcement would come from:
- Polis Diraja Malaysia
- Possibly with coordination from Agensi Keselamatan Siber Negara
The name used is vague and sounds “international” to confuse victims
2. “Conviction” without court = impossible. It says “CONVICTION”
A conviction can only be issued by a court of law. Police or agencies cannot convict you via email or letter. This alone proves it is fake
3. Wrong legal process
Claims:
- You’re under investigation
- Then immediately says you’re convicted
- Then asks you to respond within 72 hours
Real process would be:
a) Investigation
b) Arrest (if needed) with warrant
c) Charge in court
d) Trial
e) Conviction (if proven)
The attachment document mixes everything, a common scam tactic
4. Fear and urgency tactic
Mentions: “child pornography”, “sex offender registry”, “media will publicize your case”. These are designed to panic the victim into responding quickly
5. Email response request is a huge red flag. It says: “make yourself heard by email”. Real authorities: Do NOT handle serious criminal cases via email replies. Do NOT negotiate or “hear your explanation” like this.
6. Fake stamps, seals, and formatting
“CERTIFIED COPY TOP SECRET” 😅 - contradictory and unrealistic.
- Random badge/logos not aligned with Malaysian government standards.
- Poor formatting and inconsistent English
7. No personal identification
- Full name, IC number, case file number, investigating officer details
- Real notices are traceable and specific
8. It looks foreign-operated
Several indicators point in that direction:
a. Language style - The English used is formal but unnatural (e.g. “make yourself heard by email”) This is typical of translated templates, not how Polis Diraja Malaysia communicates
b. Non-Malaysian structure - Terms like “Central Office for the Fight against Crime…” resemble European-style agency naming
Malaysia does not use this format in official bodies
c. Legal inconsistencies - Mixing “conviction”, “investigation”, and “email response”. This shows no understanding of Malaysian legal procedure,
d. Generic global scam template
Similar scams have been reported worldwide (EU, US, Asia). They just swap logos and country names
VERDICT - it's a scam
