Just shut the phone and restart the phone with no wifi/data connection. And perform other steps to mitigate it, no?

Can't turn off, they control the phone.

One thing I don't understand is how can the scammer transfer money out from Touch N Go? Unless he already know the password

Actually for Android phone macam cannot simply install APK right? Need to enable developer mode or something

Many people don't read the warning and click Yes or Proceed.

But to enable developer mode macam need specific steps not just click yes and proceed. Aunty uncle usually not that literate enough to do it kot

The act of placing your bank apps and sms in the same device is the the ultimate opportunity for scammers

Yes, immediate family experience they will msg ask you order from website, then will got problem, they then tell you install this app to order, once the old people install the app got some permission they will tell them to press here press there, once permission given gone case.

My case the old people realize she's been phished she wanted to go bank and stop any transaction, the scammer can even msg and say where you going, I'm controlling your phone already, your account money transfer out already, you don't believe you check see. Luckily she didn't go check, else scammer can get the bank password also. She throw the phone at home and quickly drive to bank. Luckily bank account managed to lock and no transfer made.

Moral story is


don't simply install apk other than play store then give funny permission
If kena d, don't do anything else straight to to bank, they can control phone but if no password they can't do shit

If tng probably they tried order something and scammer recorded the pin down as they can view the phone screen

Yes, some old people, their children says don't download also, they won't listen

Once they've saw that free gifts, free tv shows, free this that, cheap maid, they think they discovered something valuable on the internet, like they won lottery

Then when you tell them this is fake, they think you're the dumb one

Old people very difficult, bank should let them use traditional but stupid they force everyone go digital

One of my friend's husband sent his phone for repairing and after got back the phone, all financial related app kena transfer out the money and cc were used for transactions. He didn't aware of this until the bank called.

At the end, he has to compensate all for about RM60k to the banks for cc.

The act of placing your bank apps and sms in the same device is the the ultimate opportunity for scammers

your friend's husband so brave sending phone without factory wipe first.

Nowadays the most valuable posession is your phone and thumb print. Your email is connected 24/7 to ur phone, no password to see mail. Meanwhile you are using it as recovery email. Then sms OTP also using the same device. lol.

I damn scared robbers took my phone and cut my thumb. really can rugi habis.
