SELAYANG Municipal Council confiscated business items from a shophouse in Desa Aman that operated as a food and entertainment outlet exclusively for Myanmarese on Tuesday (April 30).
The victim had called a “Microsoft Helpline” number and was told by scammers that his computer had been hacked and his bank account used for illegal activities. - ST FILE
The DBS anti-scam team quickly blocked further transactions from the victim’s bank account to prevent more losses and notified the police’s Anti-Scam Centre . The police managed to contact the victim’s family friend, who disclosed that $240,000 had gone missing from the victim’s UOB bank account that same day. It is unclear how the friend knew about his loss.
He was unable to close the notification and proceeded to call the “Microsoft Helpline” number displayed on the pop-up. “This allowed the scammers to take control of the victim’s bank accounts, leading to monies being transferred out,” the police added.
