PETALING JAYA: Banks and telecommunication companies should be held liable for negligence when scams take place, but consumers too should play their part to ensure they do not become scam targets, say the police.
This was in response to the statement by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday that banks may have to reimburse scam victims if negligence by the institution is identified, leading to the occurrence of a scam.
