GEORGE TOWN: Police have warned people using online banking facilities to be wary of emails which appear to be from their bank.
According to police, when a victim clicks on the link as instructed, it leads to a website that asks the victim to update his or her account, after which their funds are siphoned out.
Penang Commercial Crimes Investigation Department director ACP Azmi Adam said police have crippled one such bank email syndicate with the arrest of five Nigerian men in the Klang Valley and Subang Jaya last Monday.
Azmi said efforts to track down the suspects were launched following a report lodged by a woman who claimed to have suffered losses of RM10,000 after updating her personal data by clicking on the link provided in an email she received which appeared to be from her bank on April 9.
Azmi said the 48-year-old woman from Tanjung Bungah realised that her money had gone missing when she was notified by the bank through SMS about an inter-bank fund transfer made involving her account in less than 30 minutes after the transaction was made.
“The fund transfer was made in stages and the victim, who is an executive officer at a private college, immediately contacted the bank to stop any further transactions involving the remaining funds in her account,” he said at a press conference yesterday.
Azmi said that during the arrest, police also seized two laptops, 10 mobile phones, various local bank cards and cash of RM400 from the suspects who entered the country and have continued staying here using student visas since 2011.
Police are examining the authenticity of their travel documents, he said.
Azmi also advised the public to be wary of emails that appear to be from financial institutions asking them to update their personal data online and not to open any suspicious emails from unknown senders.
He said police believed that there were other members of the syndicate still at large.
