OCBC and SG police force prevent scam losses worth S$12.6m

About 700 victims were safeguarded from potential loss.

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation (OCBC Bank) and the Anti-Scam Centre (ASC) of the Singapore Police Force conducted a one-month operation against financial scams.

Utilising Robotic Process Automation (RPA) technology, the joint forces were able to protect 700 victims and avoided the potential loss of more than S$12.6m (US$9.45m).

The RPA technology enables the police to make precautionary alerts to scam victims, advising the individuals to stop further monetary transactions.

Whilst operations were ongoing, the ASC and OCBC Banks officers conducted "live interventions" by scrutinizing the fund transfers to over 500 bank accounts that were reported as fraudulent.

Collaboratively, the joint forces identified individuals who had transferred money to these scam-marked bank accounts and sent over 1,000 SMSes to notify them of the ongoing scams targeted at them.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
