（吉隆坡4日訊）國家銀行將毫不猶豫採取行動對付非法金融騙局的犯罪者及助長者，並誓言讓犯罪者接受法律制裁。
相關法律包括國行管理之下的法律、刑事法典、2016年利息計劃法令、1993年直銷及反金字塔計劃法令，以及2001年反洗黑錢、反恐怖主義融資及非法行為收益法令。
國行發表文告說，在目前的法律下，參與非法金融活動的投資者也可受到對付。
文告中說，由總檢察署領導的國家打擊洗黑錢協調委員會，將在跨部門倡議下，針對金融詐騙活動採取聯合執法行動。
國行也提醒公眾，不要參與承諾不切實際高回酬、利息或盈利的騙局。
「公眾應該查看國行的金融消費者警示名單，瞭解沒有獲得國行相關法律和條例下批准的金融公司，確保不要墮入這些騙局。」
「相關名單也提供一般非法金融騙局的資料。」
國行促請金融機構和貨幣服務提供者提高警惕，查明金融詐騙者使用的賬戶。
文告指出，上述業者需加強客戶盡職政策和流程，鑒定有可疑交易及資金流動的銀行戶口，避免金融機構成為促進非法計劃的渠道。
