A woman recently lost RM14,360 when her money was transferred out of her account in less than a minute!
The 29-year-old woman, known as Mia Jia Xin shared the horrible incident that happened on Monday (June 6th) on her Facebook page which also includes screenshots of all the unauthorized transactions.

In her screenshots, the first unauthorized transaction happened at 8:09 PM, transferring RM9,000, and another transferring RM5,360 out of her account at 8:10 PM, via DuitNow. How scary!
She then called the bank to make a report but was disconnected three times, but eventually, she managed to reach a customer service representative who informed her that the issue will be forwarded to the appropriate department.
A case manager then called her and assured her that the problem will be handled accordingly and she should hear back from them in two weeks.
She also clarified in the post that she did not open any phishing emails or downloaded any unauthorized software on her phone.
This is so scary!
