Siam Commercial Bank issues warning to customers after mobile app scam

Siam Commercial Bank has posted a statement on its Facebook page, urging customers to beware of phishing attempts via text message. The warning comes after the arrest of 3 Chinese nationals accused of sending messages to SCB customers advising them to update their details. Customers were then taken to a fake platform and asked to input their ID card number, phone number, and OTP code, among other details. The scammers then used the info provided to access the victims’ accounts via the real SCB app, robbing millions of baht, which they then changed into cryptocurrency.
SCB says customers should never provide personal data in this manner, adding that the bank would never request this information via text message or social media messages.
“If you find such a message or website, please do not enter your personal data such as ID card number, credit card number, birth date, ATM pin code, username, password or one-time password that the bank generated for transactions. SCB has no policy to notify customers via SMS, Line or Facebook Messenger to provide their personal info.”
Anyone with concerns can contact SCB via their Facebook page or by calling 02-777-777.
