Malaysia has the highest rate of online fraud revictimisation in Asia, with victims being retargeted over 2.5 times on average, according to the Asia Scam Report 2024 issued by the Global Anti-Scam Alliance.
Hong Kong and Thailand rank second and third, respectively.
Victims are being repeatedly targeted by scammers and their low ability to differentiate artificial intelligence scams.
“It is concerning when the victims lack the ability to differentiate between sources…when contacted by authorities, they often cannot tell whether the caller is real or fake,” CelcomDigi Head of Sustainability Philip Ling says.
