Internet Banking Scam

A syndicate believed to have stolen about RM250,000 from 12 victims via an Internet phishing and SIM card hijacking scam with the arrest of seven people by PDRM.

Those arrested included three foreign men – the mastermind from Sierra Leone and two others from Jordan and Pakistan – as well as a local man and three women.

Method:
1. Go to an Internet banking kiosk and upload a software that recorded the usernames and passwords of those using it.

2. They will come back a few hours later and download the data into a USB drive

3. With such personal information, would then go to telecommunication companies, posing as the victims’ friends, family members or as the victims themselves and claim to need a replacement SIM card after having lost their mobile phones.

Syndicate members would even produce forged documents to support their claims such as fake police reports, identity cards and authorisation letters.

4. With the SIM card, the syndicate would then be able to get the Transaction Authorisation Code which allows them to transfer funds into their own accounts.

The syndicate members were arrested in separate raids at a luxury condominium in Section 14, Petaling Jaya, and other surrounding areas on Saturday and Monday.

They also seized several computers, bank account books, laptops, USB drives, fake MyKads, forged police reports, router, credit cards and other documents.

All those arrested, aged between 20 and 27, have been remanded until today.

Car Alarm to safe you


Car keys as security alarm

For House
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighbourhood watch coordinator.

It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain.

It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around.

After a few seconds all the neighbours will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that.

For Car Park
Carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic. Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.

Internet Banking Phising Alert and Prevention Tips

What is phishing?
Phishing is a process where scamsters trick you into giving them your user IDs, passwords or credit card details, so that they can gain access to your online banking accounts.

Victims are known to receive phone calls, SMS or most frequently emails claiming to be from a bank or trading partner, asking them for personal information to re-register or update their accounts. Soon after they've provided this information, they usually find that their banking accounts have been cleared out.

How do I recognise a phishing scam / site?
1. you receive a phone call, SMS or email asking you to provide personal/ security information or TAC

2.a phishing email link, when clicked, will open into an un-secure login site, with its URL most likely to begin with http, instead of the secure https

3. The phishing site's URL may contain misspelled words, like "Mybank" instead of Maybank.

How do I prevent phishing attempts?
1. Do not trust any phone calls, SMS, e-mail, web and chat that requests for your personal details and identity.

2. Never click on a URL link in an e-mail or fill out forms in e-mail messages and un-trusted websites.

3. Go directly to your bank's web site to access Internet Banking and manually key in the company's web site address in the browser's URL bar.

4. Keep up-to-date with the latest security patches. Update your Operating System and Internet Browser with the latest patches, making sure all security and critical patches are applied. Use anti-virus software and, if possible, personal firewalls. Ensure your anti-virus software is up to date with the latest signatures.

5. Scanning your PC regularly from a popular anti-virus web site is also recommended.

6. Lastly, if an online money-making scheme seems too good to be true, it probably is. This generally holds true for off-line schemes as well!

•NEVER respond to any phone call / SMS / email requesting your bank account details

•NEVER reveal your bank account details / ATM PIN / Internet banking password to anyone

Internet scam

KUALA LUMPUR: Accounts manager Chua Ming Choo opened a message in her e-mail informing her that there was some irregular activity occurring in her account.

The e-mail told her to click a link to her bank’s website to update her particulars for safer online banking.

Less than five minutes later, the simple mouse click cost her RM4,200.

Chua, 35, from Port Dickson, said she received the e-mail last Thursday.

Missing money: Wen Shan (left) and Chua (right) showing their police reports to MCA’s Chong (second from right) and Negri Sembilan councillor Datuk Dr King Lim yesterday.

She added that about two minutes after she clicked on the bank’s website, she received an SMS requesting a Transaction Authorisation Code (TAC) number.

Chua realised that something could have happened to her account and she called her bank to inform them about it.

“They told me they would block my account and I was told to change my e-pin number,” she told a press conference at the MCA Public Services and Comp laints Department here yesterday.

Chua said she then went to the nearest ATM to check her account and discovered the money missing even though she did not key in her TAC number on the website.

She lodged a police report on the same day.

Another victim, Chong Wen Shan, 24, from Teluk Intan, Perak, said he received an e-mail on May 1 informing him that his online services account was about to expire due to a database update on the bank’s system.

Chong said he was asked to update his particulars and being new to e-banking, he thought it was a normal procedure and clicked on the link.

He also keyed in his TAC number when asked and discovered that RM5,000 had gone missing from his account a few hours later.

Department head Datuk Michael Chong said the two cases were the first that he had received so far this year.

He asked Bank Negara and banks to be on alert for such scams.

“I do not rule out an inside job. Otherwise, how do these criminals know our personal details?” he added.

The star online 14.5.11
GEORGE TOWN: When college student Kang Ping Ping replied an email which he had been ignoring for several months, little did he know that he would end up RM10,000 poorer.

Kang, 22, a mechatronics student, said he had been receiving the same email purportedly from a local bank for the past three months.I replied the email on May 9 without suspecting anything until I received a call from my bank the next day.

Kang, 22, a mechatronics stu- dent, said he had been receiving the same email purportedly from a local bank for the past three months.
“The bank wanted confirmation from me about the transfer of funds totalling RM10,000 from my account on May 9 and 10.

“I was immediately taken aback by the call and told them that I never made such transactions,” he told a press conference at the Penang MCA headquarters on Jalan Pahang yesterday.

Kang said the contents of the email had looked very convincing.

He lodged a police report on May 10 and approached the state MCA for help.

Penang MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau deputy chief Lim Thoon Deong said Kang’s money was found to have been transferred to another bank account under a foreigner’s name.

“The police are acting on the report and trying to locate the account holder,” said Lim.

He added that the account with a balance of only RM500 had been frozen.

Car theft

Car Broke in - Read GPS HOME POSITION

Received this e-mail from a friend...

Last Wednesday, I approached my car from the passenger side to place my computer bag (aka my man purse) in the front passenger seat.


As I reached to open the door I noticed there was a hole right under my door handle.

My first thought was, "someone has shot my car !"

I began to think about it and inspect it a little closer and the "light" slowly began to come on.

I phoned my friend who owns a body shop and asked if he had any vehicles with damage to the doors that looked like a bullet hole.

"Yes, I see it all the time. Thieves have a punch and place it right under the door handle, knock a hole through, reach in and unlock it, just as if they have a key. No alarms, broken glass, or anything.

I then placed a call to my insurance agent and explained it to him. I was puzzled that they left my GPS and all other belongings. Here is where it gets scary !

"Oh no, he said, they want the break-in to be so subtle that you don't even realize it. They look at your GPS to see where "home" is. Now, they know what you drive, go to your home, and if your vehicle isn't there they assume you aren't and break into your home."

He said they will even leave a purse or wallet and only take one or two credit cards. By the time you realize there has been a theft, they may have already had couple of days or more to use them.

(I didn't realize my situation for two full days!)

They even give you the courtesy of re-locking your doors for you.

Periodically, walk around your car, especially after you park in a in a shopping center or other large parking area.
Report thefts immediately....your bank w/missing check numbers, your credit
card agencies, police, and insurance companies, etc.

( Below is picture of what the hole looks like )

Yesterday, between 10.00 to 10.30pm at Elite highway, I have been hijacked.

I make my way home from work place around 9.30, reached Cyberjaya toll around 9.50 pm. I then take an exit to Shah Alam. Just about 50 metres after I take my left lane from the exit, I noticed one Mercedes E Class 240 from right lane behind me, take a closer range to me. At first, I don't bother, but then it came really near and wind down window on passenger side, I saw one Malay guy with PDRM cap and long sleeve shirt look like a police traffic asked me to pull aside. At that time, I was thinking, whether to run or not. If I run, I'm not sure if I'm fast enough to outrun them, or if they are real police, I would get shot and if they are not real police, if they have gun, sure they can outrun me and put a bullet inside my head, So I made a stop.

The Malay guy on passenger side came down and approached me, I was still inside car at that moment. That guy asked me to come out. Thinking it was high profile police driving Mercedes, So I go out while shutting down the engine. That guy circulate my car and mentioned that this car was suspected as stolen car. I straight away denied it and that guy asked me to follow him to police station, So I said OK but before that I asked him one thing, Where is your badge id? And then bad dream happened.

The guy suddenly grabbed my hand, tried to cuff me with his handcuff and tried to drag me into the Mercedes, I struggled myself to get away as strong as I can and dragged that guy to opposite way. I managed to let myself go but the guy managed to confiscate my car key. I made no turn, run as fast as I can to opposite way of the highway while shouting and waiving hands for help but no one made a stop, thinking it was real police try to catch me and i am the criminal !!!

After a while, I looked back and saw the second guy, the driver, also Malay came out, drove my car and gone with the Mercedes. After a while, one lorry replied my waiving and took me to nearest toll booth where I found one patrol car there, I ended up until dawn at police station reporting everything.

I lost my car, my notebook, my phone, and nearly my life if I were successfully dragged into the car. I may end up like Susilawati case though.

The case has been classified as high profile crime because robbing at daylight, in public, no mask on and possible firearm involved. So guys, beware, my advice, always speeding, don't care about the speedtrap, Your life is more important than the ticket that u have to pay.

Update as of 9.4.2011 :-

Identification has been done and one of the suspects seemed inside database already wanted for the same case. Police failed to detect my car through any highway CCTV after the said event. My car nowhere to be found.

Update as of 12.4.2011 :-

No news from police, going to submit insurance today.

雪蘭莪‧巴生29日訊
巴生市區吳平巷最近發生多宗攫奪案,受害者都是外勞,而且匪徒的目標似乎是外勞的證件,令當地外勞人人自危。

最近一宗發生在上個星期日的下午,當時三名匪徒圍攻一名孟加拉籍外勞,外勞高聲呼救,附近的其他外勞還以為是發生群毆事件,後來才知道原來是同鄉被搶劫,但匪徒已逃之夭夭。

另一宗案件則在四五天前發生,兩名騎摩托車的印裔男子在吳平巷的後巷攔截一名外勞,自稱是執法人員,要檢查外勞的證件,外勞不疑有他,便乖乖把證件拿出來,結果證件被匪徒以迅雷不及掩耳的速度搶走。

林德平:選擇落單路人下手

在吳平街開餐館的業主林德平(70歲)指出,他的工人親眼目睹上述兩宗案件,除了這兩宗之外,他的工人也聽說之前已多次發生類似的案件。根據工人的形容,匪徒看似本地人,他們通常都是騎摩哆車幹案,而且目標是落單的路人。

他表示,外勞通常都不會身懷鉅款,但匪徒仍盯上他們,不排除匪徒要的其實是外勞的證件。

林德平聘請的外勞蒂亞娜(34歲)受訪時說,她親眼目睹上個星期日下午發生的那宗搶案,令她心有餘悸且覺得心酸,因為沒想到胼手胝足幹活卻賺得不多的外勞,竟然也會是匪徒眼中的肥羊。

巴生市區有許多店屋近年來都出租給外勞,使吳平巷聚集了許多外勞。當地外勞沒想到會成為匪徒的目標,他們之間如今唯有互相提醒要提高警惕。

胡志強:目睹多宗攫奪案
受害者以外勞居多

吳平巷老街坊胡志強(75歲)表示,他曾在後巷目睹多宗攫奪案,受害者雖然包括本地人,但以外勞和中國籍女子居多。

“本地人還是要提高警惕,因為我也曾看過有本地的上班族到附近的餐館用餐後,去後巷取車的時候被搶劫。”

胡志強說,他目睹的受害者,通常都是獨自一人走在後巷,匪徒則騎著摩哆車來幹案。

匪徒曾試過三人一起出動,在這種情況下,受害者寡不敵眾,要反抗也難。
