Suspect Banking data “Compromised”?

I just received a scam call (nothing new) but the interesting part is i just changed (6 months ago) my main contact number to my oversea (Aus) mobile for charge notification alert & otp.

I haven’t bought anything online or instore for at least 1 year. Mainly, the ongoing giro payment.

The SG bank concern is “5 stick” logo, which i knew is the latest bank affected by scam calls.

Is there a recent data compromised, which is kept silent?

Normally for SG banks, calling number generator will generate SG phone numbers but not overseas number set.

This is very concerning, if the leak is internal!

Anyone having the same experience? Whats your deduction?

you think scammers will call after knowing who is owning the number or just call random number and try?

ts, you mean you inserted an Aussie number to your UOB account as contact number and this Aussie number is receiving scam calls now???

Your Aussie number can receive UOB OTP??? IIRC, only SG-registered number can receive bank OTP hor. :look:

Don't think too much.

A phone now is smart enough to block spam calls and messages.

I am hardly getting any spams. Mostly blocked by google.
