Tips to protect yourself online
Phishing alerts - Typically, these fake emails request the recipients to tap on a hyperlink and then provide log on credentials, security codes and contact details.
Online banking transaction notifications - If you receive a text alert or a paper advice for a transaction you have not performed or a beneficiary you have not added, contact our customer service hotline immediately.
Unusual log on behavior - If you experience unusual symptoms while logging on to online banking, such as if your computer appears to freeze for a short while, or if you're asked to enter your log on password and security code several times, contact our customer service hotline immediately.
Card fraud - The industry recently reported card fraud in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where cards and PINs were compromised.
Phone scams - Reported cases of phone scams are on the rise as criminals are coming up with new scams, such as kidnap or lottery wins, to trick victims into parting with their money.
Phone alert - When you call us, you may be asked to enter your password or PIN for authentication. Do not reveal your password, PIN or security code during the call, as no call centre representative will ask for this information over the phone.
Spyware - Is spyware hidden in your computer? This software can transmit your information to unauthorised parties without your consent.
Make sure you're on the official HSBC site before entering any confidential data.
Fraudsters can use a simple phone call to carry out a scam. In a phone scam, the following situations are typically used:
Lottery scam: The caller tells you that you have won a lottery or lucky draw and you need to pay a processing fee to collect the winnings.
Kidnap scam: The caller tells you they've kidnapped a loved one and demands a ransom for their release.
Impersonation scam: The caller claims to be from the court or police (or other government agencies) and tells you that you need to pay a fine.
If you receive any suspicious call:
Don't pay any money in advance to collect a prize.
Don't reveal your identity, bank account number or other personal information over the phone.
Don't engage in prolonged conversations with the caller.
The police, Supreme Court or any government agency would never ask anyone, especially in connection to a criminal case, to transfer money to a bank account. If any payment is to be made, an official written notice and an official receipt would be issued.
Alert the police if you receive such calls. More details of these scams can be found in the Singapore Police Force website at www.spf.gov.sg.
Card fraud is a commonly known issue and has been on the rise. The industry recently reported a number of cards and personal identification numbers (PIN) being compromised in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) resulting in unauthorised cash withdrawals on customers' debit and credit cards.
Fraudsters are able to acquire PINs and electronic data from the black strip of the bank card, possibly during cash withdrawals at ATMs. Aftewards, they fashion counterfeit cards that are used to withdraw money from customers' accounts.
To safeguard yourself against card fraud, try not to make cash withdrawals in the UAE in the near future if possible.
If you recently returned from the UAE and performed cash transactions there, you should change your PIN immediately.
