Now the head of DBS Bank’s anti-scam team, Teng, 49, recalled an early case when the team was formed in 2019. A woman in her 50s had transferred her entire savings of S$170,000 to scammers who had posed as Chinese officials.
Teng explained to her the typical tactics used by such scammers to trick victims - that they would rush her to make a large transaction and urge her to lie to the authorities. Last year, the team helped to recover S$35 million lost to scams by freezing 5,300 bank accounts linked to scams.
