Two men face more charges in largest ATM fraud case
SINGAPORE: Two suspects involved in Singapore's largest ATM fraud recently may see more charges levelled against them.
Loke Siew Fei and H'ng Gaik Chin, both Malaysians, are alleged to have defrauded DBS Bank and POSB of about S$1 million.
They are alleged to be linked to a transnational ATM skimming syndicate based in Malaysia.
The Court was told that more time was needed to carry out investigations against them.
The duo will be back in court on March 6. If convicted, they could be fined and jailed for up to 10 years.
Separately, the latest scam has also raised concerns over the security of top-up machines at MRT stations, where commuters top-up their EZ-Link cards on a daily basis.
There are some 550 of these General Ticketing Machines.
The Land Transport Authority says the machines are under 24-hour CCTV surveillance, and checks are conducted daily for any unusual activity.
A check by Channel NewsAsia showed many commuters were not too concerned about shielding their PIN numbers when doing their transactions.

SMS alerts 'may have curbed losses' in latest DBS ATM fraud
ATM card-skimming operation a continuation of the one in November
Published on Feb 24, 2012New security measures put in place by DBS Bank, specifically an SMS alert service to customers, may have helped to contain fraudulent withdrawals at its ATMs over the weekend.
DBS said on Thursday that fraudsters had stolen $23,000 from the accounts of 17 customers on Sunday. It is not a new skimming operation, but a continuation of the one that began in November last year.
It might have been worse had the SMSes not alerted customers who tipped off the bank about the fraudulent withdrawals.
BACKGROUND STORY
S'PORE MACHINES HIT
'Unlike previously, when the unauthorised ATM withdrawals took place overseas, this was the first time unauthorised withdrawals occurred in Singapore.'
Statement from DBS
BACKGROUND STORY
NOT AGAIN
'I am surprised. I didn't expect it to occur so soon after the previous incident.'
Ms Amanda Goh, an accounts manager at a marketing agency who was one of the victims of the January scam
But the latest incident raises questions over how the fraudsters were able to get around a slew of new security measures, and continue using cloned card data after all the hacked ATM cards were believed to have been blocked and replaced.

DBS says 3rd ATM found to have been skimmed
Published on Feb 24, 2012
DBS Bank said that a third ATM machine was tampered with that led to the fraudulent withdrawals on Sunday.
'On Sunday, the bank was alerted to unauthorised ATM withdrawals by 17 customers after they received real-time SMS alerts,' the bank said in response to media queries.
After we were informed of this, we were able, through our customer analytics, to establish common patterns amongst the affected customers.
'From there, we now believe that a different ATM has been compromised at around the same time of the Bugis skimming. We are unable to disclose further details, as this may jeopardise the ongoing investigation.'

Damn lot of scammers these days.

If I knew how to scam, I'll just take 5 cents from every bank account that bank has, every month. That's all I need.
