SINGAPORE: Scammers posing as Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) officers have stolen at least S$3 million from 46 or more victims since June, by exploiting WhatsApp’s screen sharing function to spy on their banking details.
In this type of scam, victims would receive calls on local numbers, with the callers claiming to be from firms such as NTUC Income, NTUC Union or Unionpay, the police said on Thursday (June 26).
