Twelve people were arrested in Malaysia after they were suspected to be involved in a scam syndicate targeting Singaporeans, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said on Sunday (Feb 19).

I had a telephone call on 14/12/2015 from a male purporting to be from my professional body (British Psychological Society) claiming I had overpaid my subscriptions twice. initially he seemed plausible. He knew my surname, address, postcode and claimed I had paid by a debit card, which had expired (it hadn't and he gave the wrong last 4 digits.I hadn't as I pay via direct debit. After a degree of confusion, he tried to get my current debit card details to "repay the extra payment". I declined and asked him to repay it to my bank account. He then seemed to keen to get off the line and allegedly send me repayment through the post and via email. Of course I haven't had the email and the telephone number is not listed with the BPS.
