Phishing Conspiracy!

I've always heard of people receiving scam emails/phone calls and now, I've actually received one in my Inbox. Unfortunately, I'm not that stupid to click on the given link since there are so many reported cases in the world. Never ever try to click for fun because you will not know if once you clicked, the hacker might be able to fish all the important data from your PC. And for those who don't know, once you click and enter some few important information... the next minute you know is your online bank account had been hacked and all money gone! This is how dangerous email/phone scams are!! So, beware!! Never simply click any links from whatever website. If you want to do direct banking, go straight to the bank's ORIGINAL website. Even if it's phone call asking for details/personal information... DON'T GIVE!

Maybank does not send out any e-mail or SMS requesting customers to provide personal banking ID or PIN or credit card information. Please do not log in through website links contained in emails supposedly from Maybank or other institutions. Be alert or you may fall victim to a financial scam.

The mail above is how the email scam looks like!

To check the authenticity of the link, mouse over the link to see the URL at the status bar located at the bottom of your browser. Notice that the URL link that provided (eg : https://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/INGRM10usxxxxxxxxxxx) does not direct to the original HSBC website but instead takes you to a phishing site.

Police alert!

• NEVER respond to any phone call / SMS / email requesting your bank account details

• NEVER reveal your bank account details / ATM PIN / Internet banking password to anyone

• NEVER follow instructions from unknown parties to do banking transactions or make changes to your bank account details

• NEVER be a victim of schemes that sound too good to be true
