ZENICA, Bosnia-Herzegovina (Reuters) -Bosnia fought back to claim only their second point of their Nations League campaign as they held a second-string Netherlands side to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday in a match with nothing riding on the outcome.

JOHOR BARU: Scam mers are using a new scare tactic, telling their victims that the money in the bank is not safe due to purported “moles” within the banking sector.

“In three hours, the woman, who works in the private sector, ended up transferring about RM100,000 of her hard-earned savings into the bank accounts of strangers,” he said in an interview.“The caller asked whether there was anyone beside her as he wanted to share with her an insider secret. She was led to believe that her savings were at risk as her bank accounts were being targeted by scammers via moles working at the banks.

“The caller apparently guided her throughout the process. She was told to put her mobile phone in her bag – with the caller still on the line – as she dealt with the bank counter staff,” Chua said. “She thought she was transferring her savings to other people’s bank accounts for temporary safekeeping,” he said.
