SINGAPORE: At least 83 victims have fallen prey to DBS Bank phishing scams since the start of January 2024, with total losses amounting to at least $155,000 (RM542,000).
The police revealed these numbers on Jan 5, reiterating their warning to members of the public of this “persistent trend” where scammers would impersonate DBS through spoofed SMSes.
