新山刮刮乐入侵名牌城 机灵安娣险上当

新山刮刮乐入侵名牌城 机灵安娣险上当

阿嫂到新山购物,被刮刮乐集团缠上,幸识破伎俩没有上当。她提醒公众保持警惕,以免受骗。

蔡女士(62岁,家庭主妇)日前与友人结伴逛新开幕的柔佛国际名牌商城购物,在商城2楼碰上7、8名男女。其中两人上前与她们搭讪,硬要她们抽奖。

她说,他们塞了2张刮刮乐游戏卡给她们,打开后发现游戏卡上画了个圈,朋友的游戏卡则只有“谢谢”两字。

男子看见她游戏卡上的圆圈,急忙向她道贺,并自称是Giant和昇菘超市的代表,说是只要与经理拍照即可领奖。

她与友人一时心动,随对方到办公室。随后,一名职员说,要出示6000元,并让他们抄下钞票号码,才可查看奖品。

至少200名DBS存户 存款被人从马国盗取

至少200名DBS存户 存款被人从马国盗取

至少200名星展银行存户的存款在这两天内被人从国外神秘盗取,损失数百元到数千元不等,警方已经展开调查。

星展银行(DBS)受询时表示,从星期三至昨晚8时,银行接获约200名存户的投诉,每个户头平均被盗走1000元。至于被盗取的款项总额,则还不清楚。至今为止,所有涉案款项都是在马国被提走的。

由于事态严重,星展银行从昨天开始查阅所有过去几天出现马国转账记录的户头,并向这些存户求证是否曾在马国提款。若证实款项是被歹徒盗取的,银行会在24小时内给予全额赔偿。

其中一名受害者吴慧敏(25岁,会计经理)说,她昨天早上到裕廊西的星展银行提款,在察看存折时发现银行在星期三和昨天,从她的户头里扣除了四次国外提款服务费,每次5元。她感到非常纳闷,因为这两天她都在新加坡,不可能在国外提款。

银行职员告诉她,有人从国外的提款机取走她的存款,其中三次发生在星期三,歹徒共盗取1682元,而最后一次在昨天清晨,338元被取走。令人感到不解的是,她的提款卡一直在身边。

银行职员注销她的提款卡,还通知她银行会在24小时内与她联络。钱财被神秘盗走,吴慧敏感到非常懊恼,但同时也很庆幸能及早发现。

星展银行呼吁发现存款被盗取的存户立刻拨电1800-220-1111,或到任何一家分行求助。银行若发现存户的户头内出现不寻常转账交易,也会立即通知存户。

Fraudsters withdraw cash from DBS/POSB accounts

Fraudsters withdraw cash from DBS/POSB accounts

A large-scale fraud operation targeting DBS and POSB account holders is raising concern among Singaporeans, as numerous customers report unauthorised withdrawals from their bank accounts.

Since Wednesday, online forums and social-networking websites like Facebook and Twitter have been abuzz with netizens saying there had been fraudulent withdrawals amounting to hundreds of dollars.

Many also said that they warned their friends and family to check their accounts.

In a statement, DBS said that about 200 bank customers had reported unauthorised withdrawals from their ATM- or debit-card accounts.

The average amount withdrawn was about $1,000 per account, added DBS. The bank's standard ATM- and debit-card withdrawal limit is $2,000 per day.

The withdrawals appeared to have taken place in Kuala Lumpur, even though affected account-holders said that their cards had remained in their possession all along.

Many also added that they had not visited Malaysia recently, and could not understand how the criminals had been able to make the withdrawals.

DBS said that it was treating the matter with "utmost priority".

It added that cards reported as compromised were immediately deactivated, and that affected account-holders would be issued with new cards.

Mr Jeremy Soo, managing director and head of consumer banking group (Singapore) at DBS Bank, said: "We have started to proactively contact all customers whose account transaction history indicates that there has been an ATM transaction made in Malaysia, over the past few days, to double-check and confirm that indeed such an ATM transaction was made.

"If the transaction was not made by them that is, it is fraudulent we will compensate them in full for the unauthorised transaction within 24 hours."

Any customer who believes their ATM or debit cards may have been compromised should contact the bank immediately, on 1800-220 1111, or visit any of the bank's branches.

Police yesterday also confirmed that they had received several reports of the unauthorised withdrawals, and said that investigations were on-going.

Affected card-holders were advised to lodge a police report via the Electronic Police Centre at www.spf.gov.sg/epc or at any neighbourhood police centre.

The report should include the date, amount, location and transaction description for each unauthorised withdrawal, police said.

(吉隆坡综合讯)马来西亚新设计的钞票昨天首卖,这包括停止发行16年的20令吉钞票。为了购得新钞,有人在凌晨2时便到国家银行总部外排队。

在队伍中站了两个小时的张素芬和两个兄弟是陪同嗜好收藏钱币的父亲张木来一起到国行排队,终于买得心头好。新钞9时才开始发售,但国行未开门,外头已有一条长长的人龙。由于每次发售新钞,都吸引大批人排队等候,国行规定每个人只能买三款纪念钞。由于购买的数量受限,好些人都是全家出动。

出国度假拜五回 较不会挨老板骂

出国度假拜五回 较不会挨老板骂

假期出国度假,最好选择周五回国,否则回到公司上班,容易被老板骂!

学校假期即将结束,这几天国人陆续结束假期,收拾心情迎接新一年的工作。

大家都想顺顺利利开启新的一年,但你可知道,原来选择在周五结束假期回国,之后回公司上班最不容易被老板骂。

网络招聘公司JobsCentral说,如果情况许可,放完假后,不要立刻重返工作岗位,最好可以放多几天假。这除了能让上班族有充裕时间应付意想不到的状况如航班延误、时差症状等,也能有更多时间休息。

若无法拿多几天假,就要尽量安排在星期五回国,这样就可利用周末时间充电,养足精神周一上班,才不至于一开工就被老板骂。

人力专家说,出国度假减压,但回国后重返工作岗位,面对堆积如山的工作,可能让一些人因度假期间所累积的工作,而面对更大的压力。
