they can CLAIM whatever name/details, right or wrong, to me.

DO NOT validate their claims. do not give answers.


what i do is, i shoot them back, "arent you, the bank, suppose to know?!!! why ask me to reconfirm again?!!"

guys need your help here, got a call this morning from Standard Chartered informing me that i had swiped rm2k.

Thing is i dont have a SC account or a SC CC, so no idea how he got my IC and name. How do i go about this?

I told the person on the other line i am not paying anything, and funny thing is usually banks will ask for authorisation before calls.

603 2257 0316 was the number

Normally SC calls come from PS (03-7498 2512)

Check CCRIS if you have any SC card under your name to be sure. If none, then you can ignore.

i did not register for the mobile ccris, will have to wait it out until i can retrieve it. but still im pretty sure a foreign bank like SC would have to authenticate the user before disclosing such info no?

Yes, most banks will do that. I would usually be wary of disclosing such info if being asked from an unknown caller too. Next time, you can tell them to end the call and you will call back to service center line.

it's possible that a scammer manage to apply for new credit card using your personal details.

Learn to recognise scams so you won't be cheated, experts urge

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The story of the Macau scam is all too familiar. The victim gets a phone call from an official-sounding person and is told he/she has outstanding loan payments or unpaid fines. The victim panics and willingly follows the instructions of the "official”, including transferring huge sums of money into another party's bank accounts, to supposedly “avoid getting into trouble”.

These scams and how they work have been widely reported in newspapers, news portals and social media, yet people continue to fall prey to scammers.

Maybank Warns Of Scammers Impersonating Maybank Officials With Fake Business Cards



Maybank had raised an alert on scammers who are impersonating its officials with fake business cards from the bank. The scammers, who seek to sell loan products, will provide potential victims with authentic-looking name cards to gain their trust.

According to Maybank, the scammers may then request for a deposit of funds as a “payment fee” to secure the loan/financing applications. This is, of course, not standard practice and should be a huge red flag, but nevertheless, the seemingly authentic name cards could sway some people into falling for the scam.

PDRM: Fake Bank Negara apps and websites cost victims RM5.2mil in losses

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) said it has recorded 128 Macau scam cases involving fake Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) apps and websites, with losses amounting to more than RM5.2mil from April 1 to Nov 25, 2020.

Fake BNM apps recorded 105 cases with losses totalling RM4.8mil, while websites impersonating BNM recorded 23 cases amounting to RM411,000 in losses.

Based on images shared by PDRM, fake BNM websites will feature links like “www.bnm-govinfo.com” while the authentic BNM website’s link is “bnm.gov.my”.

On Nov 25, a Twitter user with the handle azaliaspn posed a question to BNM, claiming that she had received a call from BNM asking to protect her bank accounts. She was then given a link to an app called myBNM to perform the procedure.

BNM responded that the call is an impersonation scam, adding that it will never call users on matters related to their bank accounts.

BNM also said that the myBNM app is no longer in service.

“Kindly do not click on the link and do not share any personal info including bank details or password/PIN/TAC,” BNM wrote in the post.
