Beware of Scam Calls

Police have received several police reports of bank phishing cases where victims were security officers. Briefly, the victim would receive a call from scammers through phone and communication applications such as Whatsapp, IMO and Viber.

They would then impersonate as bank staff from DBS(widely used local bank), claiming that the victim’s bank accounts/ credit cards were locked, and would require his/her personal information (including OTPs) to unlock the accounts.

Once the scammers obtained the information, they would access the victim’s bank account and transfer the funds to overseas bank accounts.
