Are You the Next Target?
Ms. Lie encountered a malware scam, leading to her victimization. Imagine this scenario: Ms. Lie comes across a Facebook ad offering an enticing deal — a $28 voyage to Malaysia. Enthused, she downloads an application as instructed by the ad. Alas, it’s a complete scam! The scammers drain over $81,000 from her accounts.
Unbelievable, right? Now, she grapples with sleep issues and diminished self-esteem. Coping with such heightened paranoia after such a traumatic incident is challenging.
Similarly, Ms. Jacqueline Khoo, aged 58, fell prey to a virus deception in August. Here’s the twist: she clicks on an innocuous-looking link to install certain software. In no time, $44,487 vanishes from her bank accounts and credit cards. The scammers outsmarted her, raising her credit limits and depleting her assets. Poor Ms. Khoo, a merchandiser at bookstores, is now distrustful of everyone. She’s even fearful of using Facebook or answering incoming calls. Talk about losing faith in humanity!
