Just to add some comments to this, since it is so hot this few days. Many OCBC customers had fallen prey to the scammers. According to the Police, at least S$8.5 million in total were reported lost. Even me myself had received the SMS by the scammers. I do not have an active bank account with OCBC, but used to have it several years back. So i am sure that I do not have bank account with OCBC. So I not sure whether my old personal data probably got into the hands of those scammers as well. Because my contact number had not been changed for the past 2 decades, so i think they tried their luck. Not sure about those who fallen prey, but for goodness sake, the scamming message was a lousy one and so OBVIOUS. I felt that we cannot depend solely from the bank. As a consumer, you need to wake up and protect yourself as well ! Everyone is responsible for this. I felt that OCBC is great enough to refund fully to some customers already. Well done to them. But for the customers, please wake up lar. Everyday we all received scam calls, scam emails, scam SMS and even scam WHATSAPP messages. I immediately report and FK all of them. Nowadays scammers seldom call me, because I have ways to scare the hell out of them. I don't feel sorry for the scammers that got heart attack out from me :P
