A 55-year-old man in Pahang had his bank account emptied after he was offered a family package to buy four Enhanced Touch n Go NFC cards for RM32. The victim saw the TNG NFC offer through a Facebook advertisement. fahmi_fadzil
Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said the victim had contacted the seller who impersonated an agent to sell the TNG NFC cards. He was offered a family package to purchase four cards for only RM32.
The “agent” later provided the victim with a link through WhatsApp to continue with the purchase. According to the police, the victim had provided his bank account details which include his username and password but failed to complete the transaction. Eventually, he realised that his bank account containing RM23,514 was emptied.
From the report, this appears to be yet another phishing attempt. Victims are typically tricked with a page which impersonates an online bank or eWallet login page. Once the victim provides their One Time Password, the scammers will be able to gain full control including the ability to transfer funds to another account.National Scam Response Centre hotline which is dedicated to handling scam reports.
Companies such as Meta have been relying on their algorithms for moderation which has obviously failed as more and more Malaysian endure huge financial losses. It is time for Malaysia to take a tougher stance to hold these platforms, which make huge profits from ads, accountable for aiding and abetting scam activities.
