Police Warn of Fake Messages from Canadia Bank to Users
The Department of Technology Crime Prevention advises the public to be wary of fraudulent messages from Canadia Bank
4:19 pm 15 January 2021
Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): The Department of Technology Crimes has just discovered that some users have received fake English messages from Canadia Bank stating that your bank account was accessed with another device and provide a link for them to verify their identity.
When a user visits a website via a link, they will be asked to fill in details such as name, date of birth, ID number, phone number, account name and password, according to the department's research. They have found that this is a fake website created by crooks to receive information that allows them to access a bank account for the purpose of stealing your money only.
The Technology Crimes Department advises all users to be careful when receiving any messages with a request to provide personal information, because this is a trick that crooks use to steal your information, so it is best to contact the bank directly for more information if you receive this type of message.

Busted! Well done the police.
Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): The minor crime police arrested 3 foreigner men and sent them to court for stealing money through bank accounts at Canadia Bank. The suspects were identified as GOYAL SANDEEP KUMAR, a 38-year-old Indian man, MOHIBEEN LEBE MOHAMMAS MAHAROF, a 45-year-old Sinhalese, and TAI KOKPOH, a 51-year-old Singaporean.
On January 16, 2021, the suspects were arrested after they stole money from victims through the bank account. On January 15, 2021, 5 customers of Canadia Bank filed a complaint that they lost their money in their bank account. A customer named:

Then, the victim provided the suspects with their Pin code. After that, the suspects checked the victims' bank account and stole their money.
The victims contacted the bank, and a complaint was filed with police. Three foreign suspects have now been arrested.

Re: Police Warn of Fake Messages from Canadia Bank to Users
What surprised me were the amount of foreigners asking on social media if it was legit or a scam, ok, locals who are not so technologically adept or used to this sort of scam I can understand...but it was blatantly obvious it was a scam!
Well done to the authorities for their swift action and result.

So these criminals phish for unsuspecting customers' bank credentials, then use that information to hack into accounts, then transfer money to an account which happens to be the criminal's own Canadia account? What was he thinking? Their actions shouldn't be condoned but this was an embarrassingly amateurish scheme. Probably never heard of something called an electronic trail. They forgot the bank has a copy of his passport when he opened the account.
Re: Police Warn of Fake Messages from Canadia Bank to Users
Well it would appear they didn't apprehend all those involved, they are now targeting Acleda account holders, several posts on social media reporting receiving the same SMS format with a new link, same modus operandi.

One way to tell texts and emails are scams is the imperfect use of English. Sometimes the errors are only obvious to well educated native English speakers.

Re: Police Warn of Fake Messages from Canadia Bank to Users
I can't see anything too much wrong other than the use of lower case at the start of "phone number, and "protect your rights"? The app looks shonky with the shitty serif font" badly spaced and the bank logo that doesn't look as sharp as the rest - however this might not be obvious to everyone.NiceGuyLou wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 6:34 pm One way to tell texts and emails are scams is the imperfect use of English.

Silence, exile, and cunning.

Does Cambodia have a timed served? Or does their sentence start the day it's issued?
