Malaysian men still falling prey to webcam strip scam
KUALA LUMPUR: Despite repeated warnings by authorities that Nigerian men are posing as beautiful women to entice victims to strip in front of a webcam, people are still falling for the scam.
National cyber security agency CyberSecurity Malaysia said that at least two people fell victim to the scam every week in 2014, with over 121 cases reported to the Cyber999 Help Centre.
The number of victims, most of them men, were on an uptrend, said CyberSecurity Malaysia chef executive officer Dr Amirudin Abdul Wahab.
The scam, which is being run by Nigerian syndicates, involves foreign men posing as “beautiful, sexy women” purportedly from the Philippines, Japan or Korea, who contact potential victims on their Facebook accounts.
“The perpetrator will then ask the victim to video chat with ‘her’ using the Skype application and use attractive words to lure the victim. “The perpetrator is actually using pre-recorded webcam videos to fake their real identity in conversations online with victims.
“The perpetrator will then record videos of the victim without their knowledge and use it to extort them with threats to make it public on YouTube and other social networking sites, or direct it to the victim’s family and friends,” said Dr Amirudin.

Beware of ‘Ransomware’ computer scam
CyberSecurity Malaysia has warned computer users to beware of ‘Ransomware’, a malicious software (malware/virus) that infects computer and restricts access to the computer system until a ransom is paid to the creators to unlock it. 1. A pop-up message appears on your monitor saying that your computer has been locked or all files have been encrypted. 2. It demands that a ransom be paid to restore access. 3. If you click on a link or pay a ransom, your computer will become infected with additional malware. 4. Paying the ransom leads to loss of your money AND loss of banking information. Also, it is unlikely that the malware will be removed. 5. If your computer has been infected and received a Ransomware message, do not follow the payment instructions and report it to Cyber999 help centre. http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/287945 — OF INTERNET SCAMS, THERE ARE MANY VARIATIONS… ___ I DON’T CONSIDER THIS SOMETHING SENT TO ME IN ERROR.

SCAM ALERT: 7 common scams, including kidnap and online extortion, identified http://cna.asia/1vrJ1Yb
ONLINE LOVE SCAMS: IT’S NOT ONLY WOMEN WHO FALL PREY Some may think that women are more likely to be cheated by sweet-talking men online than vice versa, but that is not always the case. Section Head for Psychology Studies at Temasek Polytechnic, Mr Chua Ping Tzeun, told Channel NewsAsia that men have a higher “sensation-seeking” tendency than women. “This is the tendency to want to go out there and take risks, and to do exciting things that they have never done before,” he explained. Romantic beliefs such as the conviction that there is “one true love” out there, as well as loneliness, can also make people susceptible to online love scams. These online scammers usually try to build trust with their targets first by sharing false personal details, before asking them for money to save a sick parent, for example. To avoid falling prey to scams, here are some precautionary measures you can take: – Always be wary if approached directly by strangers or through telephone or emails; – Always check the credibility of information or messages that you are receiving by contacting friends, family members, or checking out online reviews; – Do not transfer money to people you do not know. – Contact the police immediately should you be a victim of scams http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/beware-7-common-scams-in/1499066.html — DOES ANYONE OF THESE NIGERIAN GUYS LOOK LIKE THE HANDSOME WHITE GUY YOU TRANSFERRED YOUR LIFE SAVINGS TO, BELIEVING THAT HE WAS GOING TO MARRY YOU?

Man waited for online girlfriend at KLIA in vain — twice
KUALA LUMPUR: Twice, 31-year-old Sean Lee waited in vain for his online Filipina girlfriend to arrive at KLIA. But on both occasions, despite having paid for her tickets, his dream girl failed to show up. Lee had met the woman who referred to herself as Sales Vincess through an online dating website. Relating the incident, MCA Public Service and Complaints Department chairman Datuk Seri Michael Chong said the woman had convinced Lee that she was from a poor family and was unable to secure a job to make ends meet. Lee then transferred a total of RM11,789 to Vincess to help her. He even bought her plane tickets from the Philippines to Malaysia on Aug 15 and Nov 22 respectively, said Chong at Wisma MCA yesterday. On both days, Lee spent hours waiting at the airport only to find no one by the name of Sales Vincess there. Chong added that Lee still harboured hopes of meeting his dream girl when he sought help at MCA. “Only after I showed him the number of such complaints I received did he realise he had been cheated,” said Chong. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/11/26/Man-waited-for-online-girlfriend-at-KLIA-in-vain-twice/ —

The naked truth is that 200 men fell victim to scam
OVER 200 men in Malaysia have become victims of a syndicate who extorted them by threatening to upload chat videos of them taking off their clothes, reported Harian Metro. The syndicate used attractive and sexy women to entice them via social websites. Some of the men would even willingly undress over Skype after getting acquainted with the women for less than 12 hours. Since January, such cases had resulted in losses of more than RM100,000. Bukit Aman Cyber Crimes and Multimedia division investigator Asst Supt Mohd Syafiq Jinuin Abdullah said the men paid up to avoid having their nude videos distributed online. … “Compared to African syndicates that promise their victims wealth and marriage, this “love extortion” works faster and easier,” said ASP Mohd Syafiq. “A victim can be easily duped in less than a week, some in less than 12 hours.”

Ackermann said everything she wanted to hear, she needed to hear. Then it happened. In her police report, the doctor said they met on Shaadi.com, a dating agency, in May last year and became friendly. Ackermann asked her first for a friendly loan of US$5,000 (RM16,332) and later £1,000 (RM5,277) which he agreed to repay in three weeks but did not despite a so-called lawyer’s agreement. After the payments were made through telegraphic transfer and Western Union, he could not be contacted through email or phone. Enter Ramon Young, supposedly another American whom she also met on Shaadi.com and she asked him if he could help locate Ackermann. Young said his sister, Dotty, who works in the social security office in Oklahoma, US, could help. Instead, Young helped himself to US$120,000 (RM391,980). Then, a lawyer, Dorothy Watson from Texas, informed her that Young had been arrested and all his assets frozen.

Bob Erb’s name used in bid to scam money
Bob Erb is a real person, and the scam uses his name and photo BUT it uses a fake bank account that mirrors the real thing! —
Fw: A Financial Support Donation To You
… Terrace Standard
Bob Erb’s name used in bid to scam money
Scammers are trying to exploit Bob Erb’s generosity.
Here’s how it works: the potential victim receives an email from someone, in this case Erb’s name was used, which states he is a lottery winner wanting to share his winnings.
Links to videos of Erb’s well-documented generosity are provided in order to prove legitimacy. If the potential victim bites, they are then asked to open a bank account – complete with official looking forms to fill out – where they will be prompted to deposit a sum of money before they can access the larger sum.
Hobday did some investigating, which included contacting banks in Spain and The Terrace Standard, before conceding it was a fraud.
“It was very good,” he said, of the operation, and especially of the fake bank website. “It really seemed like a real bank website with all the details and so on.”
He’s obviously disappointed it wasn’t real, but said he’s glad he learned there’s a real Bob Erb using his lottery winnings to help people in need.
As far as scams go, what Hobday experienced is a fairly common scheme. It is lumped under the “prize” scam category (you’ve won a prize, but money is needed to access that prize) and is similar to the traditional West African fraud, in which the scammer says they have access to a deposed leader’s money and needs help moving it.
But it’s one example of how sophisticated scammers operate, exploiting real events and information to scheme people out of money.

IGP: M’sia not a hub for Nigerian scammers
KUALA LUMPUR: Bukit Aman has denied that Malaysia is a hub for Nigerian Internet scammers specifically targeting American women. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said although there were such cases reported in the country, Malaysia was only used as a platform for such illegal activity. “Malaysia is not a hub. This kind of crime can be committed even when abroad. Which means some of these scammers only use Malaysia as a platform, rather than operating from here,” he said. Khalid was commenting on a report by Reuters which cited Malaysia as being an Internet scam haven that targeted American women. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/07/12/IGP-Msia-not-a-hub-for-Nigerian-scammers/ — ARE YOU A VICTIM OF THE FACEBOOK SEXTORTIONIST?

If you think that you are being scammed, the following information will be useful. 1. Call 1800 888 030 (or email aduanskmm@cmc.gov.my). 2. Call Bank Negara 1 300 88 5465 (1 300 88 LINK) to report scam. 3. SMS 15888: BNM TANYA (your report/query). — A VERY CONVINCING AND PERSUASIVE SCAM! Someone calls you over the phone. He says that he is from Bank Negara or Bukit Aman, or some other agency. You look at the number on your phone screen, and the information confirms that it is a genuine call because the name that name that appears is Bank Negara or whatever the syndicate wants it to be. This is possible because the caller, backed by his syndicate, uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) , a system for making voice calls over the Internet, to mimic caller IDs. Suppose you want to verify that he is calling you from Bukit Aman. He will give you a number and a name, and the person who answers your call, also a member of the syndicate, will confirm all the details. That is why many people are tricked into losing their money. Once you believe their story, which is that your bank account has been compromised, you are advised to transfer your money into another account temporarily. You will get an account number. Once your money is transferred into that account, it will be transferred somewhere else. It’s “Goodbye” to your money.

Travel dilemmas: Beware the phone and email scams
CATHARINE HAMM
Everybody seems to be having money troubles recently. At work, an area travel agent emailed to say that she’d been attacked by gunmen in Malaysia, where they’d taken all her money and credit cards. She needed me to send her money quickly. What am I supposed to do? The answer is – nothing. It’s a scam. I called the travel agent to tell her that her email had been compromised. In truth, I told her that her email had been hacked, but that’s the wrong terminology, said Daniel Draz, the principal at Fraud Solutions, a global fraud consultancy based in the Chicago area. “The issue is caused by a form of malicious software (Trojans, keystroke loggers, password breakers, etc.) sent out via computers to your computer, which somehow infiltrates your machine (often due to an unsafe user practice), then sends out a malicious payload (the email message) to everyone in your contact manager,” he said in an email to me. “This is definitely not the same thing as being hacked.” … This is known as the Stranded Traveller Scam, Draz said in a later interview, and it brings in hundreds of thousands of dollars, increasingly for organised crime abroad. The traveller trickster scam plays on your emotions – compassion, in this case. If you get such an email plea, take a look at the missive and see whether the language is stilted, whether it’s riddled with grammatical or typographical errors or whether it’s uncharacteristic of the person who is supposed to be writing. In the case of the travel agent, she was, the email said, writing with “tears in her eyes.” Stuff and nonsense. Instead of weeping, she would have been on her way to the nearest Embassy or consulate, which is what a smart traveller does. http://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/travel-troubles/10219372/Travel-dilemmas-Beware-the-phone-and-email-scams —– Star

Divorcee blackmailed with nude pic she gave to online date
KUALA LUMPUR: A 53-year-old divorcee sent a nude photograph of herself to her new date in the name of love. Little did she know that she had fallen prey to an online dating scam until the “lover” blackmailed her using the picture. “He told me he will display my nude photo unless I pay him US$5,000 (RM16,000),” said the single mother who only wished to be known as Chew. She was introduced early last month to a social dating website where some of her friends found their Mr Right, she told a press conference arranged by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Seri Michael Chong yesterday. Soon, the sales executive befriended a 54-year-old Benjamin Federico, who claimed to be a veterinarian residing in Canada. After some happy chats online, the man told her he had savings of US$174,000 (RM557,430) and that he planned to meet her here in August and bring her back to his country where they would get married. Overwhelmed by his proposal, Chew sent him a nude picture of herself at his request some two weeks ago. “But he declined to give me his nude photo, saying that it was against his religion and family values,” she said. Feeling uncomfortable with his response, Chew suspected something amiss and decided to call off the relationship last Saturday. She did not know that was just the beginning of her nightmare. “He started blackmailing me using the picture. Also, he demanded that I compensate him for breaking up with him,” Chew said. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/06/11/Divorcee-blackmailed-with-nude-pic-she-gave-to-online-date/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+com%2FSpPo+%28The+Star+Online+% —– THIS IS A SLIGHT VARIATION OF A COMMON SCAM.

37-year-old married man is RM3,300 poorer
Provocative poses: Chong holding up pictures of the ‘beautiful Filipina’ at the press conference.
KUALA LUMPUR: A married man looking for some fun in cyberspace ended up RM3,300 poorer after being blackmailed by a “beautiful Filipina”. Salesman Kelvin Chong, 37, was ecstatic when the woman, who introduced herself as Sarah Mae, wanted to befriend him in the Tagged social media site. On May 1, two weeks into the online “relationship”, the woman sent him a Facebook message, saying that if she were to show herself nude to him over Skype, he should do the same. When she showed several provocative pictures of herself, he reciprocated by showing parts of his nude body and sent her four erotic pictures of himself. The next day, he was shocked when she sent him a list of all his family members and friends on Facebook and threatened to expose his nude video clip. “If you don’t pay RM2,500, I will post the video,” she warned. *Then, just as we know would happen, she asked for more money… http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/05/07/Filipina-beauty-strikes-again-37yearold-married-man-is-RM3300-poorer/ —– *WHEN IT COMES UNASKED FOR, IT HAS TO BE A SCAM!

A new scam is targeting people eager to hear news about the missing Malaysian Airlines flight. The Better Business Bureau is warning people about a post on Facebook and other social media sites. Though the wording varies it usually says “Video of Malaysian plane found in Bermuda Triangle. Passengers Alive.” Another popular version says “New Flash – Missing Plane has been Found!” If you click on the link, it leads to a third party website, prompting you to update your video player. Officials say that will actually download malicious software on your computer. They say if you see a click-bait scam like this, ignore it and report it to the social media site.

Cybercriminals use fake MH370 websites to steal data
SINGAPORE: Cybercriminals are exploiting the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines plane by luring users to websites purporting to offer the latest news in order to steal their personal information, an Internet security firm warned Tuesday. … Trend Micro said its global network of research, service and support centres TrendLabs had spotted an executable file disguised as a video that, when clicked, allowed scammers to collect a user’s data, such as his or her IP address. “Given the heightened interest in the missing flight, it was only time (before) cybercriminals used it to their advantage,” TrendLabs expert Paul Oliveria said in a statement. … Another scam enticed Facebook users to click a link that leads to a page with the heading: “(BREAKING NEWS) Malaysia Plane Crash into Vietnam sea MH370 Malaysia Airlines is found!” When the link is clicked, users are taken to a fake page with a “ready to play” video. Further clicks will prompt the user to share the link before the video can be viewed. “Sharing the video, of course, helps cybercriminals spread their malicious link to other users,” Trend Micro said in a statement. After sharing, the user will be asked to verify his age by completing a ‘test’. The test was “nothing but another survey scam,” it said. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2014/03/18/Cybercriminals-use-fake-MH370-websites-to-steal-data/ —– WARNING!!!

African scam
Posted on 4 September 2013 – 11:24pm Last updated on 5 September 2013 – 10:28am
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 4, 2013): Two African syndicates that amassed millions of ringgit by hacking into the email accounts of companies and intercepting business transactions were crippled by police on Monday with the arrest of eight people. The biggest single loss was RM2.4million by a Libyan company that had ordered computer parts from a local supplier in Nilai last year. Police said the scammers mainly targeted foreign companies that made purchases from Malaysian suppliers by hacking into their online network systems and accessing their emails. … He said both the syndicates busted at separate locations in Petaling Jaya on Monday were not linked to each other but were involved in similar fraud cases. Syed Ismail said the suspects, who are in their 20s, had entered Malaysia using student visas and were registered at several local colleges as students.

Online love scam ring busted
KUALA LUMPUR: A syndicate that specialises in online love scams couldn’t charm its way out when police raided an apartment in Bukit Mandarin, Cheras. … Three Nigerian men, another from Lesotho and Malaysian women aged 29 to 32 were arrested. Their modus operandi involves gaining the trust of females online, and then asking them to bank in money to a Malaysian woman’s account in order to pay for the “tax” on a parcel that they claim has been detained by the Malaysian Customs. The conmen would say the parcel contains lots of cash, and would then promise the girls a share of the cash as a reward. Investigations into the syndicate began in April after a 21-year-old college student was duped of RM1,630. She had reportedly befriended a British man named Richard Kickme on Facebook in January and fallen in love with the online Casanova. “On April 19, one of the suspects contacted the victim, saying he was planning to visit her. “He called her again the next day, claiming he had arrived but was held up at the airport for bringing in a parcel containing US$48,000 (RM135,000). “He said he would give her some of the money if she banked in the amount, which she did the same day,” said Cheras OCPD ACP Mohan Singh, adding that she lodged a police report after the man did not show up. http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2013/08/17/Online-love-scam-ring-busted-Drugs-also-found-as-police-raid-syndicate-that-preys-on-women.asp — WHEN YOU GET EMAIL LIKE THE ONES BELOW, CONSIDER IT AN OFFER TO BE A SUCKER…

— TELCOS CAN LEGITIMATELY BILL US FOR ROAMING BUT SOME PEOPLE CONSIDER IT TO BE A CON. Ahmad Shabery cautioned telcos to be more responsible in their billing. “It’s illogical that a phone bill should cost so much. Companies should be more responsible when charging. “Perhaps they should emulate credit cards and put a cap on how much one can spend on roaming to avoid cases where people get charged tens of thousands of ringgit on their phone bills,” he said. Star
Data charges can go up to thousands of ringgit if phone usage not monitored
Be careful when surfing the Internet on your handphone while overseas — you may end up being asked to pay the price of a car. Among the many complaining about very high charges is a mobile user who was in the Middle East for 12 days and was billed RM122,703 for data roaming. PETALING JAYA: A mobile user was in the Middle East for 12 days and was slapped with a RM122,703 bill for data roaming. Another went on a four-day trip to Singapore and was charged RM23,000 for checking her e-mail during the trip. Communication and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek… received a bill shocker after a short trip to Indonesia. “I only used data roaming for a few minutes towards the end of my stay but I was billed RM4,500 for it,” he told The Star. According to the Communications and Multimedia Consumer Forum of Malaysia (CFM), complaints against telcos increased in the last two years, with mobile data charges and data roaming being the main grouses. CFM said it received 1,191 cases on billing and charging last year. In the first half of this year, it received 1,018 complaints. CFM director Ahmad Izham Khairuddin added: “The complaints used to be mostly about poor coverage, but they’ve changed since 2011.” CFM was set up by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission in 2001. …
In another case, Sara Kamal ( not her real name), 45, complained that she was sent a bill for RM23,000 after using data roaming for four days while on a business trip to Singapore in 2011. “I was shocked when I got the bill as I had only checked my e-mail during lunch and dinner while I was there. The telco said it was because my data roaming was on…” … The National Consumer Complaints Centre (NCCC), too, has received many similar complaints. “Since January, we’ve received about 300 complaints on telcos. Two main issues are consumers disagreeing with the amount charged and being charged for items they did not subscribe to,” said NCCC deputy director K. Ravin. …

Maths teacher pays for miscalculation
JOHOR BARU: A mathematics teacher was cheated of RM20,490 by an online scam that promised her a free trip to Dubai and investment opportunities. The victim, who wanted to be known as Tan, 27, received a call two months ago from a man claiming to be from an online shopping company based in Hong Kong. She said he invited her to attend a charity dinner in Kuala Lumpur but she declined due to work commitments. At a press conference organised by Johor Baru MCA Public Complaints Bureau deputy chairman Michael Tay yesterday, she said the man called again on July 7 and informed her of a free trip to Dubai and other “prizes” worth RM120,000, and that if she could not go, the company would pay her the amount. “However, to claim the prizes, I had to pay RM20,000 for the claiming process,” she said, adding that she deposited RM5,800 into the company’s account via online transaction.

Investment scam victims reluctant or scared to report, says police
Less than 10 per cent of Malaysians who fall prey to investment scams, including those online, report their predicament to the authorities. Head of Other Trade Crime Investigation, Bukit Aman Commercial CID, Supt Chuah Yong Huat said most victims were either embarrassed or scared to lodge a report as they were worried about having to face their alleged perpetrator in court. “They are also embarrassed to tell their family and friends. We need to overcome this because fraudulent schemes are becoming widespread,” he said at an Investment Fraud in Business Awareness seminar at Wisma Bernama, in Kuala Lumpur, yesterday.

—– ONE FORM OF INTERNET SCAMMING IS PHISHING. PHISHING refers to email scams in which a hacker uses a disguised address to get an Internet user to install malware. They are a cyber-criminal’s preferred method. Favourite methods: 1 The attackers often use emails purportedly from trusted organizations such as Yahoo!, Google, Facebook and Amazon are top targets, according to the report. An example is when you get an email, supposedly from Google, which asks you to confirm that your gmail account is active. You are asked to type in your password. 2 Online game services, online payment systems, and the websites of banks and other credit and financial organizations are also commonly used to disguise phishing attempts. The aims include: 1 Stealing money from an account as in the case with fake online banking service pages, online storefronts, and subscriptions to online games. 2 Stealing personal data which is then sold to buyers who will use the data for different fraudulent schemes involving spam mailings and the spread of malware.

In a statement here, the budget carrier said some customers had received e-mails inviting them to join these programmes, purportedly organised by the airline’s AsiaPacific regional headquarters based in Kota Kinabalu. “The entity falsely claims to be organising a so-called 2013 AirAsia Exclusive Special Bonus Program with up to US$130,000 to be given away,” the statement said. “AirAsia denies having such a programme in place.

In each case, suspects attempted to extort money from the victims after threatening to post photographs or videos of the victims online following a cybersex session over webcam. The female foreign suspects would usually get acquainted with the male victims via social networking websites like Tagged.com or Facebook. Thereafter, they would start a webcam conversation with the victims and initiate cybersex by undressing themselves first before persuading the male victims to appear nude or perform sexual acts in front of the webcams. Unknown to the victims, the suspects had recorded the acts.

____________________________________________________________ I got this email today, Saturday, 15 September 2012. If you work in a bank and know about these things, could you explain if the scheme described below is viable? Thanks! ———
Subject: New scam – you see RM200K in your bank account….!!!
|
Any cheque banked in into your account need a few days to transact. Although the amount appears in your account, but it’s still pending for transaction, the person issuing the cheque can cancel the cheque at any time! A few days ago, one of my friends received a sms with the message: “You’ve strike 1st prize with a prize money of RM200,000 cash.” The sms came with a contact no. My friend ignored it since he had heard of too many bogus scams using similar tactics. After a short while his handphone rang, a Miss Fang asked: “Sir have you received a sms telling you that you’ve strike 1st prize?” My friend answered: “Yes, I have”Miss Fang: “Please let us have your bank account number so that we can deposit the money into your account.” My friend thought, why not, let’s see what you can do. My friend has a buddy who works in that bank. Hence, he gave her his account number. Ten minutes later, my friend’s handphone started ringing again. Miss Fang said: “Sir, we have deposited your prize money into your account, please check and verify.” My friend checked using his handphone and found that RM 200,000 was really deposited into his account. He was euphoric, just like that and he’s RM 200,000 richer!
30 minutes later, Miss Fang called again. She was crying: “I’m sorry sir, I made a mistake, I forgot to deduct the tax before I deposited the prize money, 20% of RM 200,000 equals to RM40,000. Now the company wants me to reimburse the money. Can you please return the RM 40,000 tax? I beg you.” My friend thought for a while and felt pity for the lady. Thinking of the money in his bank account, he went to the bank. Suddenly he thought of his buddy working in that bank and decided to ask his buddy to double check and confirm with him first. Upon checking, his buddy found out that the money was deposited using a cheque of a different bank.
Even though the cheque was deposited but the actual amount of money can’t be transfered into his account on the same day. If the other party decided to cancel the cheque, then he’ll not get this RM 200,000. My friend was shocked. He almost lost RM 40,000. Before my friend left for home on that day, the cheque was actually cancelled. If not for his buddy, if not for him being a professional, or if he was cared of letting others know of striking the prize then this bogus scam would be successful. This is a true story, please beware. Future scams could be even better planned. Please don’t forget to forward to your friends and relatives to warn them from being cheated. DON’T GIVE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NO. TO ANYONE
