Sounds like they might just be money mules. The mastermind are not caught yet https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/government-economy/13-people-arrested-for-suspected-involvement-in-ocbc-scams 13 people arrested for suspected involvement in OCBC scams [SINGAPORE] Thirteen people aged between 19 and 22 have been arrested for their suspected involvement in the recent spate of OCBC scams between December 2021 and January this year. The police said in a statement on Sunday (Feb 20) evening that 9 men and 4 women have been arrested. "The police have been closely monitoring reports of the OCBC Bank phishing scams since its inception in December 2021," said the statement. "Through thorough investigations and extensive probes, the identities of 13 persons suspected to be involved in the OCBC Bank phishing scams were established." Police officers from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) arrested all the 13 identified suspects in an islandwide operation mounted on Feb 16 and 17. An array of mobile devices, bank cards, SIM cards, cash amounting S$2,760 and 2 Rolex watches - worth a total of S$35,600 - were seized. On Feb 18, 7 male suspects were charged with assisting another to retain benefits from criminal conduct, punishable under section 44(5)(a) of the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Crimes (Confiscation of Benefits) Act, Chapter 65A (CDSA). The offence carries an imprisonment term not exceeding 10 years, a fine not exceeding S$500,000, or both. The 7 men have been remanded for further investigations. Police investigations are ongoing against the other 6 suspects. The police said it will spare no effort to track down any person who may be involved in scams, and perpetrators will be dealt with firmly and in accordance with the law. "To avoid being an accomplice to crimes, members of the public should always reject requests by others to use your bank account or mobile lines as you will be held accountable if these are linked to crimes," it added. Combating scams requires a whole of society effort. While the police have stepped up their enforcement efforts, they reminded that the public still plays a vital role in the fight against scams. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone loses, but the consumer is the one that loses more,” he said. More like less margin for big cars and larger properties? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From her tone it shows why some stupid ppl never learn to be smarter because it's always others fault. "But to me, how the hell would I know (about the number)?" she said, suggesting that the average person would not memorise bank customer service numbers. "What rubbish is this? Does it mean as members of the public, when we put money in bank we (are supposed to be) vulnerable to getting scammed?" In the days and months that followed, Mrs Wong felt belittled at home. Her husband and daughter chided her, she said, with the latter asking why "mummy is so stupid". While i usually refer to the back of my CC for the phone numbers, but i wont be surprise people use google to find that information esp now that physical cards are no longer necessary. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic February 23, 2022 Share February 23, 2022 Be careful of Singpass QR code, don't anyhow press and allow access. Police warn against scams involving scanning of Singpass QR codes SINGAPORE: The police on Tuesday (Feb 22) warned about the emergence of a new type of scam, involving the scanning of Singpass QR codes to gain access to digital services for fraudulent purposes. In a media release, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said these scams involve fake surveys - purportedly conducted on behalf of reputable companies or organisations in Singapore - with participants recruited via channels such as online forums and e-commerce sites. The scammers will typically communicate with the victims through WhatsApp and promise them monetary rewards for their participation in the surveys, the police said. "Upon completing the surveys, the scammers would request for the victims to scan a Singpass QR code with their Singpass app, claiming it was part of the verification process to retrieve their survey results for disbursement of the monetary rewards," said the police. The SPF warned however that the Singpass QR codes provided are actually screenshots of legitimate websites. Scanning these codes and authorising transactions without further checks grants the scammers access to certain online services, it said. "Scammers would proceed to misuse the access by registering businesses, subscribing for new mobile lines or opening new bank accounts under the victim’s name," said the SPF. "Victims would only realise something was amiss when notified of these transactions by their telecommunications service provider or bank, or when they receive notifications in their Singpass Inbox that their personal details have been retrieved." The police noted the Singpass login process requires user consent and authentication through biometrics or passcode verification on the user’s personal device. "Singpass will never send QR codes through SMS, messaging apps like WhatsApp and other non-official messaging platforms," they said. The police warned that while Singpass has "stringent security measures", members of the public should stay vigilant and follow security processes. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
