: The banking industry has launched the National Scam Awareness Campaign in conjunction with the Financial Literacy Month 2022 exhibition as a continuation of its efforts to combat and educate consumers regarding scams.
“I understand there will also be community outreach programmes to educate the public,” he said at the launch of NSAC at IPC Shopping Centre here today. On the five measures announced on Sept 26 to further strengthen the banks’ controls and safeguards against financial scams, the deputy governor said banks are giving their full commitment and making progress in implementing the measures.
As part of the NSAC launched today, the banking industry has created a logo to help members of the public to remember three simple steps -- also known as the three-second rule -- that is “Stop, Think and Block” when they receive calls, messages or emails from unknown parties.
