In the first half of this year, the police received more than 750 reports involving malicious software fraud, with a loss of at least 10 million yuan.Among them, 11 fraud cases involved provident fund deposits. Although the police successfully recovered about 88,000 yuan, the fraud gang still rolled 130,000 yuan.
Compared with investment or love scams, the amount of providing provident fund deposits through malicious software is not too large.However, the provident fund is an old -fashioned one that many Chinese people rely on, and they are also regarded as the safest risk -free deposit.Therefore, the provident fund fraud case has aroused widespread concern and anxiety.
In order to prevent unauthorized transfer, the Central Provident Fund Board launched new measures on June 22, stipulating that some members of public funds, especially members who are 55 years old and use Android phones., Must be recognized by Singpass's face recognition.
This Monday (November 20), the Provident Fund Bureau announced the launch of additional measures.From November 30th, the 55 -year -old provident fund member is automatically set to 2,000 yuan per day.They can adjust this limit by themselves, but they must pass the SINGPASS face authentication and 12 hours of calm periods to take effect.They can also activate the online withdrawal function by activating the "provident fund withdrawal lock", and they must go to the provident fund service center in person when withdrawing the withdrawal.
Earlier, three local banks announced that they will launch new measures similar to the provident fund bureau this month.The anti -fraud measures called "Money Lock" allowed bank customers to set their own transfer limit. The deposit that exceeded the transfer limit will be locked.Being empty.
Survey shows that in global fraud cases, Singapore has the largest per capita loss.Even so, the new measures launched by the Provident Fund and the bank show that Singapore is continuously taking measures to actively respond to actively respond to the channels, reconnaissance, and reporting of fraud cases that may prevent the victims of the victims, including preventing and blocking scammers.And blocking the fraud gang transferred the stolen money.
anti -blocking and blocking frauds using social media fraud is the first line of defense to prevent fraud.The Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Justice, Shang Morgan, revealed in Congress that since 2021, the police have demanded e -commerce platforms and social media to delete more than 5,900 online accounts and advertisements involving fraud.Different platforms take different time to delete fraud advertisements. Some take a day or two, some longer, while the instant communication application Telegram does not respond to the police's requirements.
Shang Morgan pointed out that Congress passed the cyber crime hazard bill in July this year. After the effectiveness of the first quarter of next year, the police had the right to instruct the online service provider to prevent suspicious accounts or content in contact with local users.
In terms of reconnaissance and reporting possible fraud cases, law enforcement agencies are alert to the public as soon as possible when they recently discover new scam techniques, such as recent scams set up by WhatsApp.
Blocking the fraud gang to transfer the stolen money is the last line of defense for fraud.The law enforcement agencies have recently launched a densely scanning operation and arrested a lot of money to disturb the activities of disturbing fraud gangs to transfer funds.The provident fund bureau and banks restrict the functions of online transfer. It is believed to play a positive role in protecting the disadvantaged individuals from being deceived.
Strict control of telecommunications companies and financial institutions will help strengthen the first and last line of defense of anti -fraud, respectively.
The Singapore Financial Administration and the Information Communication Media Development Bureau recently proposed to launch a common responsibility framework to clarify the losses that banks, telecommunications companies and the parties of the deception should bear in the fraud incident.This framework helps to encourage operators to actively participate in anti -fraud work and raise the public's awareness of anti -fraud, including the obligations they must bear and the right to claim.
All -round anti -fraud will inevitably increase the cost of related operators and also bring inconvenience to the public.However, there are endless cases of fraud, and everyone is in danger.Therefore, between the convenience and security of digital use, it is necessary to consider the security considerations to protect the disadvantages of the network world.At the same time, restricting online transfer may increase the pressure of offline services, and relevant officials and operators need to re -deploy manpower and reduce the waiting time for offline services.
