I got the call from this number - 03-78491300
Probably from the same center as Gen-X's.

Claimed to be from Maybank selling Card protection etc. And to think, i just started using Maybankard 1 1/2 months.

I got call from above number too 2 days back but did not answer as was taking a nab, yah I also feel same people from 78491000. Click also link by Malvo, it's a trading company??

Received a call today:

- said from CC service centre for all banks when asked from which bank.
- offering discount card for travelling (tour packages), said sent to all cc holders.
- requesting personal information.
- no annual fee, extra charges, just one lump sum payment of RM499.

016-2627544

one simple fact to highlight:
banks will never call from hp number

added to 1st post. Looks like there are still believers out there and they doing sales with the above sales pitch else they would not have mentioned CC service center for all cards.

good point. added to 1st post.

Regarding this matter, especially when the "banks" call to ask for personal details, my friend have this nice habit of asking which department they're calling from & then insist that she'll call them back shortly.

When she calls back, she'll call the Bank's general line & asked to be forwarded to the particular department. At least this way, you'll be 109% sure that you're talking to the bank. Unless you dailed the wrong general line number

Just my humble comment ... it will be difficult to read every single post to make a reference of the fake calls. Just received a call myself today ... and I got pretty annoyed very quickly on how rampant this fake calls is ... simply because there's no regulations to prevent our personal information from being used/resell for telemarketing purposes.

Perhaps TS would like to think of a way to consolidate the numbers (confirmed fakes) somehow.

I did list the numbers in post#1. Want to share what number called you and about what?

last few days my wife got a call from "Private Number" telling her that her last CC transaction cannot be process. They need to confirm with her by asking her real name, IC number and credit card number...

my wife laughs at them and said.. "Bodoh!!. Saya x ada CC la... BODOH BETUL..."

and then they hung up... the caller was chinese women claiming from Hong Leong or HSBC bank..

The number was 016 3323 864.
I can't remember where they said they were but were trying to sell me club vacation membership of some sort.

i guess is the ING-PB credit sure, i suggest don't subscribe it

Juz wanna share, i received a call from 0147283088. A lady was on the line claiming she is from Takaful Islam credit card plan that cover all bank in malaysia (something like that,i couldn remember the exact detail) She said, due to a lot of cc fraud, they want to verify my card for something and was asking me whether i hv a credit card or not, from which bank, mastercard or visa.

Then she want to know my cc expiry date to which i decline to give.
The best part is, when i refuse to cooperate, she then said tht if u dont wanna coop, she will deduct the amount rm98 from my cc and juz like tht hang up the phone. Curios, anybody experience anything like tht?

follow like mikicun wife done.
I dont have CC.

I got call from EBB.
Keep asking me to buy the CC insurance.
I said my i canceled my Ebb card.
They like , really.
thanks

How do you know it is from EBB and not elsewhere? I don't think EBB will call you. Number please.

Dear All Maybank Credit Card Holder Beware,

I got a call from a predictive dialing machines (or IVR you may call it) +603-2252 4408 speaking in Mandarin and saying "Dear Customer your credit card statement balance RM XXXX.XX was overdue. please pay the necessary. For further information please press zero "0"). This is a machine who speak to me not a human being.

I hold on the call for a while, the message will just keep repeating and to my surprice the outstanding balance was the same as my previous balance . Knowing that i always pay on time and never late, i was preparing to "shoot" the collection staff if MBB mistakenly did something to my account.

Just when i press the zero button and see what they are going to tell me to call was transferred to a Chinese Guy who speak Mandarin ( no standard greating also ) and the moment he pick up the phone its does not sounds like local chinese. Then i noticed something is wrong and i pretend i dont understand mandarin i need to speak to some in english. This guy just hang up my call.

I quickly call MBB CS and they confirm i dont owe them $$$ and CS also said they dont have predictive dialing to call customer for outstanding reminder. It a syndicate. BECAREFUL. This syndicate is getting more advance, using a system dialing and make it like you really calling from the Bank...

What happen next, their Fraud dept quickly call me to check how it happen and so on to see whether they can track this people or not and he said the number# appear in my phone cant get thru.

Please Take Note:

1. Any predictive dialer who call you sure will read out the CS phone# or Collection phone# and also got standard greating. They should have someone who can speak English.

This is dangerous. How do they manage to find out the outstanding balance amount anyway. Mandarin speaking CS is a giveway though.

Thanks for the info.

Thats my question to MBB also, it shock me even more is that I only opt for oline statement and MBB have not send me any statement for almost 2 years now.

received a call 2 weeks ago from a girl claiming she is working for a card protection company.. quite suspicious about the package as she kept asking me to subscribe through phone and obviously i checked the related company subscription method..

how can they know ur previous balance? a leak from MBB perhaps
