Kb27 Supersonic May 30, 2014 Share May 30, 2014 This morning received call from OCBC security at 2 am. Card was charged CAD2390.05 at CDW CANADA ETOBICOKE ON. Oh yeah I was sleeping at that time in SG. The best part is I have never used this card ever, and it was hacked. Either stolen by some OCBC internal staff or random number hacked. The other card I had with OCBC was fraudulently charged due to CGW database being hacked. Nowadays like very easy to hack credit card. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic May 30, 2014 Author Share May 30, 2014 Wah!!! Never use card before also tio?? Cut it into 2 and send back to OCBC! Must be their fault They already cancelled the card and sending me a new one. But what gets me is that I've never used this card before. It's the CASHFLO card, which comes bundled with another card that I actually applied for. Since I don't use this CASHFLO card, I just kept it one side and then it got hacked. Anyway, just a heads-up for others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, just a heads-up for others. Thks bro for the heads-up! To share, my wife citi dividend card was also charged S$4k+ for purchase at dell computer several mths back which we never made. I received a sms on this and I immediately called the Citi hotline to dispute this. As I had called within mins of the sms, I expected that it would have been easily resolved but it was not true. Citi officer said they would need to confirm with Dell on this matter and as it was a Sat afternoon, couldn't do this till Mon morning. So I was fretting over the weekend but was not very happy that Citi couldn't stop the payment since I as the cardholder disputed this. I even offered to sign an undertaking that should it be proven that I had signed for this, I would be liable/responsible for the payment but to no avail. Citi did give me a temp credit back to resolve this but I didn't want a temp credit cos that was not the issue. In the end, Dell did pay back to Citi but not after several days and also after I've personally called plus e-mail to Dell to resolve the dispute. Credit cards are very convenient but when things like this happen, I wonder whether it is safe to continue using it!! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yewheng Twincharged May 30, 2014 Share May 30, 2014 (edited) Hope there is a system whereby if the credit card companies detects a particular transaction that is at overseas, but the person is actually at singapore, the transaction will be declined and blocked the card straightaway. | With technology advancement, I don't believe they do not have the means to come out with this system. Credit card companies just need to work with ICA to get hold of the information of whether the person is at overseas or at Singapore at the point of transaction that is made.

The fraudsters may have gotten hold of a batch of legitimate card numbers illegally and used them to purchase stuff without the card being present. All they need is some absent minded cardholders not to notice or if the banks are not vigilant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like commercial aircrafts, modern high tech aircrafts but still using 50s tracking technology. Your idea sounds good, but doubt it'll work. ICA will tell you exit information is confidential, so cannot release to commercial entities. On a customer end, you have your passport to prove you're in town. Then again they can dispute say you can hand over your card to someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then if such occurrence are getting more and more common due to technology advancement, aren't the banks and the government want to do something about it?? Time to relax ruling a bit if it is for generally good for Singaporeans who holds credit card. Something for government and bank to think of...

Maxus-MIFA9 Supersonic May 30, 2014 Share May 30, 2014 Last year I received a statement and was shocked to see Annual fee charges for a credit card that I did not applied or in personal procession. Called UOB and talked to the Card Manager and demand to know who carried the card under my name. Although it did not make any charges from the credit card, I just want to know who applied for the card and why the bank approved the card? It was later found that one of the Marketing staff did it to hit her sale targets and I demanded that the card cancel immediately. Like that also can, knn .... :angry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drivinghazard 2nd Gear May 30, 2014 Share May 30, 2014 Is there a credit card that do not allow online purchases? Basically can only use the traditional retail outlets. This will reduce the risk. Then for online purchases just use debit card ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
