Monetary Fraud Alert

Abang Long on August 12th, 2009

Howdy my friends,

I had attended a seminar on Financial Fraud quite sometime ago. During the seminar, the facilitator had highlighted some critical information pertaining to monetary frauds using the ATM.

Well, to some people (including myself) the information seemed too simple that nobody cares about it. Thus, the number of fraud cases involving ATM are increasing each day.

Based on investigations, all of these cases were due to customers knowingly or unknowingly divulging their personal information such as personal identification numbers (PIN) and passwords to fraudulent parties. The transactions involved were genuine, using complainants’ account information and followed the required process. CCTV recordings had captured the complainants activating access to Internet banking at ATMs. Most complainants were not Internet savvy and failed to understand that their own actions had led to the fraudulent withdrawal of funds from their accounts.

In order to prepare and avoid ourselves from being scammed, it is better to know and understand the modus operandi.

Let’s share…

A sample of simple modus operandi is summarized below:

In most cases, victims of unauthorized withdrawals had received an unidentified (SMS) Short Messaging System (from fraudster) to inform them that they have won a cash prize. I would believe that most of us would feel excited to receive such an announcement even though it’s fake. Who doesn’t want easy money?

To claim the promised cash prize, the victim is to open an internet banking account. I can bet, there’s still a lot of people who doesn’t know what is internet banking!

The victim then contacts the fraudster and the fraudster will provide a step-by-step guide on how to register and activate their internet banking account using the ATM terminal.

At point of registration at the ATM terminal, the victim will be given an internet banking personal identification number (PIN). The fraudster will ask the victim for this PIN and use it to create an internet banking account for the victim.

The fraudster will then ask the victim to register the fraudster’s mobile phone number in order to obtain an Authorization Code to enable transfer of funds via internet banking.

This will result in the Authorization Code being sent via SMS directly to the fraudster’s mobile phone. The victim has now unknowingly provided the fraudster with full access to their banking account.

The above is just a sample modus operandi of fraud using ATM. I shall share with you more samples in the near future.

Be careful my friends.
