webfact Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Beware scammers! SCB customers warned again File photo Customers of the Thai bank Siam Commercial this morning received an SMS warning about online fraud and links to fake websites. It read: "Warning! Criminals claiming to be with SCB or agencies have been sending messages via SMS, Line, social media and email containing links to fake websites. DO NOT provide any information. SCB never requests personal information via above channels". Thaivisa notes that many SCB customers were targeted recently in such scams and the bank promised to upgrade its security. The warning came around 11 am Monday. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2021-01-18 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdsa Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Had the same notification from the Krungsri bank, seems that there is a massive fraud campaign in progress, targeting major Thai banks. P.S. had no such notifications from the Krung Thai bank. Edited January 18, 2021 by fdsa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Thailand it wouldn't surprise me. I know out local hospital still uses Win98 in a networked configuration attached to the Internet. That simply blows my mind, but there ya have it.

KhunBENQ Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Don't want to spoil the good mood, but it has nothing to do with the banks IT. Maybe worth to read and understand the problem? It's a simple PEBCAK. In this context better known as pishing/fishing attempts.

chilly07 Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Don't see how sms targeting can work without insider knowledge of linked phone nos. If it isn't then we would all have received random sms messages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
