Never share one-time passwords. Verify suspicious calls through “hotlines”. Ignore offers that sound too good to be true. Safeguard personal data and use secure networks. Report fraudsters to the authorities and the National Scam Response Centre at 997.

These were the main points brought up by Assistant Commissioner (ACP) Lai Lee Ching, who is principal assistant director (Strategic Planning) in the police’s Com­mercial Crime Investigation Depart­ment during a keynote lecture on scam awareness in Kuala Lum­pur.
