i dont know where to post this... perhaps this is the right channel...
last two week i received a Maybank credit card (sorry couldn't recall exactly which card it is)... i didnt apply any credit card before... so i was thinking to return back to maybank as i dont need it.
but apparently due to busy with working, i dont have a chance to visit Maybank and recently i received several calls from unknown phone no...
he said he is calling from maybank and would like to offer some discount whatsoever... he ask me the expiry date of the card but im not keep it in my wallet so i didnt give him any info... so just now he call me again, so i ignore him as i suspect something is not right... he called me few times but using his own handphone no... weird... during office hour why not calling using office phone as he claim he is from Maybank...
so anyone encountered this before? is there anyway for me to check it is correct or not as he seems like now a bit of my details... worried it is just a scam...
thanks.
1. if u received a credit card from bank without applying, but dont need it, better cancel immediately to avoid gst being charged.
if cant go to branch, just call (tell them u dont want the card / never applied).
2. DONT GIVE any credit card info if u 'receiving' a call!
if u the 1 who 'make' the call (example to insurance company - u dial the number) then no prob.
but just give front info (usually only this what they ask, in-case u want to renew insurance by phone).
if bank really call u, mostly bcoz want to verify transaction, and they dont even ask for ur card number, let alone expiry date ~
btw, yes u ask at the right channel here

if he said like "eh in the system still got" then u reply "thats maybank system problem, not me. BYE".
