A Kajang job offer that turns into a mule case
“Easy commission” job offers can arrive through messaging apps, including to people in Kajang. A fresh graduate may be told they will earn a cut just by receiving money and sending most of it on to other accounts.
At first it looks like simple admin work. Then the account is frozen, the money turns out to be from scams, and the police get in touch.
Why passing money on is treated so seriously
The offences are federal, so being in Kajang does not change them. Transactions through an account without a lawful purpose fall under Penal Code section 424C, the most serious of the three [f1].
If you had control of someone else’s account, section 424A may apply instead [f2].
A lawyer first works out which section realistically fits your facts. They then help you plan a truthful response.
How your account came to be frozen
A police officer of Sergeant rank or above can freeze an account and block transactions straight away on suspicion. This power is in CPC section 116D, and no court order is needed [f3].
That is why the freeze can feel sudden. It is a step in the investigation, not a finding that you are guilty.
Check your status and keep the evidence
Anyone can check whether an account or phone number is flagged on the PDRM Semak Mule portal [f4]. If your details appear, get advice rather than hide.
Do not delete the job chats, the recruiter’s messages or the transfer records. They can show how you were recruited, which matters for your defence.
A lawyer can turn them into a clear timeline before you give a statement.
Kajang: police statement and first mention
Kajang is a listed police district. [f7] If the notice asks you to come to the Kajang district office, ask a lawyer first and take your ID, the job advert and your chats with the recruiter.
A charge from Kajang could first be mentioned at the Kajang Sessions or Magistrates court. [f6] That is only possible, not certain: the prosecution picks the court, and the charge sheet will name it.
The directory lists the High Courts at Shah Alam and Klang, not at Kajang.
What to do in the first hour
Stay calm, keep your records, and do not give a full statement before getting advice. If you are arrested, Article 5(3) of the Federal Constitution gives you the right to consult a lawyer [f5].
Read first hour actions and section 424C explained. For local context, see the Kajang location page and the mule account defence guide.
Low-cost help near Kajang
The Legal Aid Department lists a Selangor office, and the Bar Council has a Legal Aid Centre in Shah Alam. [f8] [f9] They decide who qualifies.
Or message us from Kajang and ask for a referral to an independent law firm. You can send the documents from your phone.

The job just asked me to receive money and send most of it on for a commission. Is that illegal?
It can be serious. Transactions through an account without a lawful purpose fall under section 424C, the heaviest of the mule offences [f1]. A promised commission is one way these schemes recruit people. A lawyer can help you explain how you came to believe it was a real job.
My account was frozen before anyone charged me. How?
A police officer of Sergeant rank or above can freeze an account straight away on suspicion under CPC section 116D, with no court order needed [f3]. A freeze is not a conviction. A lawyer helps you respond to the investigation and deal with the freeze.
Should I check the Semak Mule portal?
Yes. Anyone can use the PDRM Semak Mule portal to check whether an account or phone number is flagged [f4]. If yours is listed, do not delete the job chats or transfer records. Those messages can show how you were recruited.
Does Kajang have its own court?
It has a Sessions and Magistrates court. The directory also lists High Courts at Shah Alam and Klang but does not say which takes Kajang cases. [f6] The prosecution decides where a charge is heard, so read the charge sheet.
What should I do in the first hour after the police contact me?
Stay calm, delete nothing, and do not give a full statement before getting advice. If you are arrested, the Constitution gives you the right to be defended by a lawyer of your choice [f5]. Speaking to a lawyer first helps your explanation get recorded accurately.
