I take it these are all scam  messages since OCBC says it never sends customers links.

If OCBC did not send it's customers links, then it safe to have accounts with them..

Recently, there are also fake CPF SMSses that look like such messages.

Suspect, they have the telephone list. Someone has a strong feeling about this.

TS just said they did, you still believe OCBC?

I received sms with links from them last year. I checked the link, it is legit. Later in the year, after some reported scams, they stopped.

Don't risk your money with them, not worth it..

For own sake delete or ignore all these promotional messages... call the entities directly if need to find out more... the weakest link in scams is customer themselves...

Once you click and respond, scammers got your phone number liao. Next they phish for User ID and Password. Once all 3 items secured, you just handed our your account on a plate to the thieves...... Rolleyes

Lesson learnt is never click on links sent by banks by SMS. Links on emails ok, but best don't also as email dun compromise your phone numbers.... Rolleyes

CPF has gone paperless. Last month they sent emails with links to check your CPF statement by emails. Emails should be ok as phone number not exposed..... Big Grin

The SMS message was sent to me by someone. I read the message on Top-up. It could not possibly be from CPF, based on the words. That phone number is seldom used.

That could be a scam. Any SMS asking to click a link I treated it as scam.......... Big Grin

Simple.. sms 72377 to unsubscribe from all these ads sms/emails.

1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..
