Have you been getting any recent unauthorized bank transactions from your bank lately?
This 29-year old woman got the shock of her life when a total of RM14,360 of her savings were transferred out of her account in the span of one minute!
Despite the prevalence of the TAC authorization system, social media user Mia Jia Xin posted on her own Facebook account about the horrific incident that took place on June 6, 2022.
Over RM14,000 Gone In 60 Seconds
From her screenshots, the first unauthorized DuitNow Transfer transaction at 08:09pm shifted RM9,000 to a ‘NASRI BIN ALI’, and at 08:10pm a further RM5,360 was transferred.
She immediately called Public Bank and was cut off thrice before finally managing to get a hold of the bank’s customer representative, who mentioned that they will pass her case over to the correct department. Thankfully, she received a call from a case manager who mentioned that the situation will be handled and an outcome announced in two weeks time.
Mia also clarified that she has not clicked on any phishing links or downloaded any illegal software to her phone.
“The only thing that happened before the hack, I was using PBE Online Banking Application to pay my credit card installment,” she wrote.
Looking at the comments from other netizens, it seems that the problem has been occurring to Public Bank account holders.
One user said:
We hope that the Case Management department of Public Bank can resolve this and return her money back!
