If OCBC refuse to compensate...it is gone as there is no legal recourse for such cases.

This is like inflation has robbed him of 2-3% of his savings every year, then the scammers finished him for good.
He wants to be risk averse, but in the end the safest saving instrument is not really the safest.
Some wealthy sinkies also need to attend financial literacy lessons.

We have a big Interpol office here at Tanglin.
That is the reason why scammers use Bitcoins, e-wallet accounts, etc.

Even simple Nigerian scam they are able to take and launder money away to overseas account.
By the time SPH contact overseas police and the other side go and investigate they already take out the money and disappear.
As for credit card it takes time for vendor to get paid during that period, if fraud is reported payment is canceled

The criminal syndicates control many local accounts that cannot be traced to them this is done by buying accounts of foreign workers returning to home country for good and through layers of criminals who cannot be traced.
Using these accounts they set up remittance links to pay people in China or Phillipines ...these are also purchased accounts that cannot b traced to them.
Once money comes in their people withdraw from ATM or bank branch immediately.
KNS u so smart.
On my CC statement got put receiver company hor. The Bank know the company. Credit cards is unlike normal banks. If a company got no link to CC company can suka suka make claims ah?

OCBC phishing scam is different, caused by OCBC's lack of security to protect customers's deposits
Everyone here keep saying OCBC lack security. But what did OCBC didn't do, which DBS and UOB did, that earn OCBC this label?
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..

That is for the MAS investigation to review, if it is ever made public.
If the same problem is there for all 3 banks, but we only keep focusing on OCBC, then we are setting the stage for more sad stories
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?

This is not possible as bank accounts have daily withdrawal limit of 5k of 10k maximum, it is no way they could steal 500k at one go.
