On a Saturday noon, I was overseas and got a random call By +1 (850) 631-3130 using Whatsapp with a DBS LOGO thumbnail.
The man said He was calling from DBS because I haven’t updated my NRIC number to my bank account. He needs my NRIC number to validate my account, or it would be locked for 6 months.
I asked him if this can be done using the app. He answered no, claimed that the phone call is under record and kept urging me to provide My G-starting NRIC number.
I Gave HIM my NRIC number, he then Addressed me by full name and asked me to provide card info to him.
I tried to stall for time, while he is quite patient, I eventually gave him my card Info.
