Company’s name misused in get-rich-quick scheme

Entrepreneur lodges police report that his company’s name, “My Freedom Life Sdn Bhd”, is being used by certain parties.

KOTA BHARU: An owner of a frozen food processing plant filed a police report yesterday after finding out his company’s name, “My Freedom Life Sdn Bhd”, was used by certain parties in a get-rich-quick scheme.

Saiful Bahari Othman, 45, said he learned about the matter a few days ago when his employees saw the advertisement on Facebook and WhatsApp.

“My company sells frozen food such as ‘lamb chop’ and ‘chicken chop’ to the local market, as well as (exports) to China.

“Strangely enough, the advertisements on social media involved the sale of Global Positioning System (GPS) devices for vehicles.

“What’s most surprising is they also advertised a get-rich-quick scheme by collecting money from the public,” he told reporters here today.

Saiful Bahari lodged a police report at the Kota Bharu district police headquarters. The advertisements had gone viral a few days ago.

The entrepreneur was concerned that there may be unscrupulous people trying to sabotage his business, established in 2013.

“So far, many people have called me, hurling threats and curses. I believe they are victims of fraud and I have been made the scapegoat.

“I hope the irresponsible parties stop their actions, because I will not remain silent,” he said, adding that he hoped the police could track the culprits down.
