Internet thieves using decoy webpages to rip off bank customers

PETALING JAYA: From a Session Court judge to managers and other professionals, unsuspecting Malaysians have had money stolen from their bank accounts after falling prey to Internet banking frauds.

In the first three months of this year alone, syndicates have cheated RM4mil off victims via the “phishing” scam.

Spamming inboxes with thousands, even millions, of e-mails, the syndicates have duped account holders into logging on to decoy webpages cleverly disguised to look like real banking websites.
