Got this call today. The person mention the info of my name, ic and address.
I gave my comp name and mom name in verification.
Should i be worried???
*
okay, that may be a problem because mother's maiden name is usually used as a a security word. have you applied any card with maybank recently?

maybe call up maybank and ask them.

I received call from this number also just now, she asked for my address, maybank master card number & expiry date, then not long later I got a call from 0122397982 asked me to reconfirm my master card number and say want charge RM 300+ to my master card for the discount card, I immediately reject them, seems suspicious. Will I be in trouble after given them my master card number & expiry date?

TO be safe, contact your card issuer and ask them for advice.

did you give your cc number and back number (CVC)? If you reject directly, still safe. If you have given them out, call your bank to suspend your CC now.

I received a call from 03 7855 0000 claiming from OCBC bank, asking for permission to approve transaction amount 6XXX.00.

When I informed that that I don't have any CC or account with OCBC bank, he told me my full name, IC no. and even home address to verify! When verified, he mentioned this card has been approved from OCBC Taman Molek JB.

Asked me to contact Bahagian Laporan Bank Negara, and gave me the number 0327262587.

I googled searched the number and found the first result is a news report of scam.

Just posting here to confirm with you guys.

I did not call the given number or gave any other info aside from what he gave me.
*
Best is to call OCBC directly to ask whether there is indeed a card under your name. Could be identity theft case.

my colleague received a random message saying he made a RM3999 transaction at KLIA2 using a CIMB credit card.

Ask to called a number and only to be directed to another number claimed to be from Bank Negara.

The numbers involved.

03-21683732

03-27262670

Good thing my colleague made the decision to call CIMB before anything gets worst.

Is your colleague actually holding a CIMB card?

Hi all,

I received a call from 0176226245 person named Farah saying that their company is able to reduce my credit card interest rate from 18% per year to 8%. She said this will significantly reduce my CC bills. She asked me to come to their office for a detailed explanation.
The company name and address: Genesis Midas Sdn Bhd. 19-02, Jalan Molek 1/12, Taman Molek, JB

Is there such a thing?

I just received a call from 0329804433.
The person mentioned he is from Affin Bank and my credit card is charged RM 4xxx at KLIA and ask me to confirm.

Since i do not have a Affin credit card, i told him that i did not apply and own a Affin credit card.

Then he mention my name and IC and i verified its belong to me.
I told him again i did not apply and own an Affin credit card.

Other than that i did not disclose anything.

Is this a scam?
*
Yes scam. You might want to call affin to verify that you do not own any card with them too.

new user here, one time cimb called me to verify my application,
i asked them 1st to verify my mothers maiden name bcoz i already give it to them during my application.

is it smart to use that method everytime someone call asking about cc info?
*
smart but i doubt they will answer with the maiden name. what i normally do is either get them to ask other questions like workplace, etc or if I feel suspicious, I will get their name and said I will call back the customer service.

How to file? Do my phone call with cs considered as filling a dispute? Or do i need to write a letter to citibank?

Most likely there will be a form that you need to submit. As posted above, call CS for advice.
