trisha lost all her 68K sgd savings to OCBC phising scam - pinkypanther - 10-01-2022
Being penniless and hungry on Christmas Day was not something that 33-year-old Trisha (not her real name), whose OCBC bank account was targeted by scammers through an SMS phishing scam on Christmas Eve last month, ever imagined could happen to her.
Like many others who received a text message disguised as an official message from the bank, the Singaporean clicked on a link in the fake message that exhorted her to activate the bank’s OneToken authentication tool.
It brought her to another fake website, but one that, to her, looked convincingly like the bank’s internet banking login page.
Within minutes of her keying in her account information and one-time password (OTP), the scammers hijacked her OCBC bank account and drained it of S$68,000 — her entire savings. The bank could not reverse the fraudulent transactions.
For someone who works in the finance industry, is well-read in bank protocols and regulations, and is IT savvy, Trisha could not believe that she had fallen prey to a phishing scam.
.........One couple in their 40s, whose joint savings account was wiped of S$80,000, admitted that while they were at fault for compromising their bank account by divulging their account name and bank access code, they did not give the scammers any OTP or security token information.

Luckily, I couldn’t login to my OCBC account, so I am safe from scammers.
Good Job OCBC.

Is her meow meow smelly?
RE: trisha lost all her 68K sgd savings to OCBC phising scam - Sticw - 10-01-2022
Why would ocbc allow digital banking unlimited transfer of funds? So far we heard 68k, 80k, 120k, 250k... If daily ATM is 3k and going to the bank they will question big amount transfer or withdrawal, why internet banking no limit? Isn't the limit for inter bank transfer at 10k and across accounts within same bank at 20k?
Why then the bank cannot stop suspicious transfer and why is the bank not liable for the losses??

I think through other banks online procedure there is no way a scammer can transfer so much money out by stealing log in credentials and one OTP like that.
Something is wrong with their system security.
Even if money is transferred why cannot be traced...and recovered?

Always put a low amount allowed for transfer.
Limit to 1k.
If you need to transfer more, then increase the amount.
For own protection.

Don't trust any link in sms or WhatsApp or email or QR code. I dont even answer any calls not on my contact list.
Always type in the link yourself and check that it is legit.

All banks must take full responsibility as they force digital,IT system into our throats to swallow. Their IT dept can be full of ex staff who knows the ins and outs of such system. This is worst than Lehman bonds stuffed into our throat.

Seems that only the local banks are have issues with their digital internet banking platforms.
What are experiences with the foreign banks?
What are the experiences in other countries? - don't seem to hear any issues there.

See my comment here
The more I read of this, the more I think it started with a hack into the OCBC system. Only that OCBC never admit or publicise it. There are five members in my house. Only my daughter who has an OCBC account receive such a message. Same as my nephew, he received a message because he has a OCBC acct.His wife did not have Ocbc account so did not receive.
