SINGAPORE: An online order for grouper fillets that was supposed to cost S$10 (RM34) ended up costing one woman over $44,000 (RM151,400) after scammers took control of her Android phone and banking details remotely.
Ms Jacqueline Khoo, 58, lost $44,487 from two credit card accounts and three bank savings accounts from POSB in a few hours after she clicked on a link to download a third-party app, following which scammers then increased her credit limits and siphoned out her money.
