E-BANKING SCAMIn early December, 29 Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) customers received an SMS after they contacted its call centre. According to a PCT report issued on Dec 18, police had arrested suspects from at least three groups linked with fraud involving bank customers' credentials. This is the loophole that allows the culprit to get personal information from the bank's customers," Pol Maj Gen Phanthana said. On Dec 16, SCB warned customers on its website of fake SMS messages and links. The warning message said fraud has even taken the form of fake bank websites with a pop-up window to warn users of fraudulent activities.
