Insisting on transferring money to an online 'friend', a woman disregarded the advice of bank staff and police officers who suspected she had fallen for a scam. When she realised she was conned, the woman had already exhausted her savings and even taken out loans, losing a total of about $330,000 to scammers. Peck Chun Hua, investigator at OCBC's anti-scam unit, told Shin Min Daily News that the woman in her 30s had wanted to transfer $20,000 to an international bank account on April 16. As there was no prior transfer history, the bank's fraud analyst contacted the woman to confirm the transaction and found that she was speaking anxiously and could not reasonably explain the purpose of the transfer. During the phone call, the fraud analyst also discovered the woman wanted to make five transactions to two bank accounts and only had an email address but not the recipient's name. The case was then flagged to investigator Peck, who learnt from colleagues at the police's Anti-Scam Centre that the recipient's account was marked as suspicious. He blocked the transaction and alerted the police.
