SINGAPORE: After discovering that AirAsia had charged her UOB credit card for two transactions totalling over S$1,060 (RM3,636) that she did not authorise, Dr Zena Lim replaced her card in April.

But to the 47-year-old’s horror, someone else continued to use her credit card credentials to make payments to AirAsia in May, despite her attempts to stop these transactions by blocking and replacing her card two more times.
