Today, i have received one call from this number 03-78625680 claiming from HLA for mastercard holder offering bla bla PA insurance. Once he explain bla bla offer, without a doubt i thought it's a scam and don't want to reveal anything related to my card info. I pressed for more verification about this supposely HLA (ask him to send me the prospectus of PA and as usual, offer is valid for phone conversation ) and he gave this number 0376501288 which i called and confirm it's from HLA call center number.

Later, i called my bank and ask them about this supposed offer ( just for fun) . They told me there is no such deal for mastercard holder.

Nowadays, have to be aware of those trick and scam. i rather have the prospectus in my hand at my leisure time to read it then talking on the phone for buying any kind of insurance

My colleague (Maybankard2 CC holder) received a call from 016 262 4598, trying to sell the same Kad Selebriti. Even after ending the call multiple times, they still call back.
Colleague lodge a report to MBB and getting a new CC replacement.
No sensitive information was leaked to them.

received a call from 03-78491000 yesterday morning! it was a Malay lady claiming that she called from Prudential, selling a protection plan! I already told her I was not interested as I already got my own insurance coverage but she kept talking non-stop! I had to lie to her that I was in a meeting then only she hung up! just a few minutes ago I received two calls from 03-78491300 (I believe from the same company) but I didn't answer! scam!

Received a Call from
1. 0378491000 - Credit Card MAYBANK CC AMEX

She told me bla bla bla.. i say, please speak in english, she hung up!!! hahaha
b****

03-79649600 claiming to be from CIMB and introduced CIMB AirAsia account...

Searching through google and found in cari forum that many claimed suspicious.

just received two calls today:

1) from 0166263397, today @ 10:50 AM - I do not really entertain the caller when I heard the word "Maybank Credit Card" and "Encik, kami mau buat pengesahan" - refer to my post in this thread

2) from 0166263949, today @ 02:56 PM - this time, I just entertained her a bit (introducing herself as Amanda, her accent is like Indian - not intending to spark racial issue here) and ask me to verify my IC number for security reasons. WTF? I replied that if there is any issue with my card, the bank will call me and I said I am working right now. The suddenly she said "Ooooo, so u ni menteri besarlah? Bodoh punya orang!" and she hung up. Damn that women! I'm very furious right now!

But from these two calls, none of my personal details are given (I bet they already have mine, but need to verify)~ damn la these scammers!

Hi everyone, i received a scam email request me to activate my account. Just to share with all, please beware of this kind of scam.

If you click the link in the email, it will redirect you to the following, please do not click the below link.

Rule of thumb: banks will never send email to you. Even facebook do not send email to their users.

I also received similar call from 03-78625622, he claimed he's from Mastercard sales and Marketing department, offered HLA saving insurance as thanks for using Master card service.I knew that this is definitely a scam as I don't have credit card at all!!!! LOL... Added to this, he need my age & BMI to check whether I meet the criteria for this insurance.

Please beware as he very persistent (or should I say aggressive) ........

From MBB2 thread:

same number as the 1st post

hahaha, he wants to check your BMI. By the way, did he know your name?

you know what, that guy is either toying with us or he really sleeping. He knows how to come to this section but don't know how come here and read the posts. This thread is the most useful thread in this section.

received 2 calls claiming to be from takaful for my credit card PA Personal assurance. they got my IC and my name correct. at first they told me is 0 charge as it is complimentary with my card. but in the end the lady said need to deduct rm250 from my account for this.

i got the lady number, their CS number, and also her so-called manager number.

the lady number is 0162160736 (malay), CS number is 03-41481053, manager number is 016-2057053

can anyone shed some light on this?

I think this thread deserve better visibility as it helps our readers to detect fake calls due to unscrupulous sharing (and unauthorized) of our personal information to marketeers.

Pin it up and if anyone have any objections to this please let me know.

BTW ... as the thread title says ... phone numbers only. If any phone numbers are being wrongly accused, please let me know.

I won't say it is a fake call since they inform you up front that they are from takaful. But complimentary with card, that is BS unless you get promo pamphlet from your credit card issuer or they advertise in the newspaper. Anyaway, call up your card issuer to confirm.

Now the thing is, why would anyone want to buy insurance or anything over the phone when you cannot verify if the call is genuine. Actually, this month and last month I did receive calls where they will introduce themself from insurance company, straight away I will say not interested, and usually they will ask why and I will say that "I tak ada duit, dah henti kerja" and with that they will just hang up.

*Edited**

Revised first post format into prefix and highlighted in large font those that are definitely fraud calls. Please comment on layout or whatever to improve it.
