SINGAPORE - Two readers have come forward to say that they have encountered bank statements with errors in the accounts' ownership.
One told my paper that his name was replaced with that of another individual in a joint account, while the other said her name was added to a joint account which did not belong to her.
Maybank account holder K. B. Ong, 35, a manager in the shipping industry, said that he found his name replaced by that of another individual when he received a statement for his joint account a few weeks ago.
The account - which was opened late last year - is shared between Mr Ong's mother, his brother and himself. It holds about $100,000.
Mr Ong said he called the bank immediately, but was told that nothing could be done at the time as it was after office hours.

"I had a flight to catch early the next day, but had to reschedule it to sort out the issue," he added.
In response to my paper's queries, the head of business operations and support at Maybank Singapore, Ms Helen Neo, said: "This arose from an error in attending to the customer's request to make certain changes to the account.
"We rectified the error immediately, upon notification by the customer."
In a separate incident in 2007, a United Overseas Bank (UOB) account holder - housewife B. G. Chua, 59 - discovered that she was listed as a holder of a joint account that she was not aware of. She realised this only when she received a cheque for the investment proceeds of the account in the mail. She returned the cheque.
Yesterday, my paper reported on a similar incident in which an unknown person was added to a joint account that sales engineer Raymond Tham shares with his mother.
Mr Tham said yesterday that a UOB representative has contacted him to say that "it was a human error" and reassured him that it was "not a widespread situation".
Said Mr Stree Naidu, vice president for Asia-Pacific and Japan of data-security firm Imperva: "The person whose name was added to the bank statement will be able to make withdrawals without the consent of the other joint party, with the proper documentation required by the various banks."
For instance, an identity card with a name matching that of one of the account holders listed on the bank statement could be used.
A programming error in computer systems could be another reason for the mix-up, said Mr Tan Teik Guan, chief executive of Data Security Systems Solutions.
However, he pointed out that account holders need not be overly worried.
Mr Tan said: "While such a case is frightening, it's a consumer's right to ask the bank to be responsible for his money and replace the money should it be taken away."

SHOCK: The statement for the fixed-deposit account held by Mr Raymond Tham and his mother, with the name of the third party, blacked out above.
By Samantha Boh
my paper
Thursday, Jan 26, 2012
SINGAPORE - In yet another bank-related incident, a United Overseas Bank (UOB) customer claims that an unknown third party was added as a joint owner of a fixed-deposit account shared between him and his mother.
Sales engineer Raymond Tham, 38, told my paper that his mother was shocked to see a third name listed on their annual bank statement when she received it in the mail last week.
Mr Tham said: "It was not a name which we were familiar with, so we were alarmed when we saw it.
"We were also afraid as we heard that anyone listed as an account holder is able to withdraw all the money in the account."
The pair started the joint fixed-deposit account in 2004 and said that they have no intention of withdrawing the $10,000 saved in the account.
Mr Tham said that he reported the incident to UOB the day after his mother, Madam Yeo Choo Kwang, received the statement, but has been unable to get any details on how another person was added to the account without the consent of its account holders.
"It (the bank) was not able to tell me who the person was, and what I can do about it," he said.
However, he said that UOB has taken the precautionary measure of freezing his account to prevent any withdrawals from being made for the time being.
A UOB spokesman told my paper in a statement: "We are investigating the matter and have been in contact with the customer.
"We will be providing an update to the customer by the end of this week."
When contacted, three other banks said that they have not encountered such a situation with their customers here.
In a separate incident which came to light earlier this month, some 700 DBS Bank and POSB account holders lost about $1 million after money was withdrawn from their bank accounts in a case of card-skimming fraud.
Mr Tham said that he wanted to highlight this incident so that bank customers will be aware of the possibility of such an occurrence and check if they have fallen victim themselves. He said: "I hope that this will be resolved soon."
