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.

From MBB2 thread:

Yesterday, I received a phone call from this number 03-78491300.
They asked my permission to buy credit card insurance i think....RM90 per year, said can claim this and that...
and they knew my name, and what card do I use now, they also asking for my IC and mailing address.
They will use my credit card number to buy this service....they said Maybank asked them to call me.
The caller is from 3PP, anyone heard that before???   blush.gif

^ thanks for the detailed information.

If you refer to the first post E.1, the modus operandi is the same.

They can now make phone calls and it will appear as though the number is legit (in this case HLB number). This matter is getting rampant day by day.

I am sure their next step was to ask you to transfer your money to their 'safe' account.

He said under the Macau Scam (involving spoofing), prospective victims were approached by people posing as police or bank officers. They would inform the victims that their bank accounts or credit cards had been hacked by third parties. The victims were warned that if they did not transfer their cash to "safe" accounts, they risked losing all their money.

I just receive a call from 0147283092, claim from maybank and ask me if i have any issue using their credit card.

As i know this is fraud call, i ask why you calling from mobile number, she say this not a mobile number this TM direct line they play on hold tone for me, its not relevant at all.

She ask me again if i have issue with my master card and read out fast2 the credit card number. Aware that this and i try to not layan her and when she ask something i answer some rubbish try not to say yes on any part of the conversation.

she get mad at me and say "pukimak" and hang out the phone, i save the number as to Spam001, i'll start saving every number from this thread today onwards, just to be on safe side.

good move. bank need not ask for your card number as they should already have it in their system.

but if let say i apply the cc, then they will call for name, ic for verification....
is it normal for bank to verify like this?
*
from my experience, i never receive a verification call during the application process, and i also dont know why they need that info when all is already written in the submission form. they ought to able to read out your IC no, but if they ask you to read out then red flag dy.

in this kind of case, it is better you ask for the caller's name and department and tell him or her you will call back. then call the bank's CS number and ask for that person from the particular department.

Got a call from 0162086243 and 0162120475 today
The first call - 0162120475

She asked if I have receive my CC. I acknowledge. She then asked what type of card Visa or Master? I said I couldnt remember as the card is not with me right now. She said she will call me back tomorrow for confirmation.  rclxub.gif
Second call - 0162086243 (1 hour after the first call)

Saying they are from Maybank and wanted to offer me a discount card since i have 2 CC from Maybank.

He got my full name & IC number. He then gave me a warning to not give the 3 digits behind the CC to anyone because bank will never asked for it (to make it seems legit? hmm.gif )

He also explained that the 16 digits in front is "nombor pendaftaran" and is safe to give other people this number.
He then asked for my 16 digits and expiry date on my CC.

I decline to give.
*
So cunning and convicing. Give advice and then try to trick you. Even got your full name and IC no already.

Today I received a call from 052415188, they claim that they are from maybank.
They got all my information included workplace, address, salary, and so on.
They said to give me credit card, but I don't want they said can't.
Just ask me the branch I can collect credit card.

Anyone have this experience? I do not know where they got my information.
What should I do now?

In conversation they asked my mother name and I told them because I thought they really from maybank since they got all my information.
But I called to maybank and they said the number was not in their list.

Do you have any credit card now? Usually mother's name is used as one of the security question, and if it is a call to offers cards, why they need such info? I think you better keep track of your cards if you currently holding any.

I currently dont have any credit card. they know everything so i thought is true.
btw already i told them my mother's name. i worry they use to call bank to do anything because they even have my mother's name.
btw how do i keep track?
Is it possible they use my details to get my account? or i should close my account and change another?
*
Try to call back the number and pretend asking for details (example, you want to apply for a card from a different bank) without revealing your name. Also, maybe you can email/call maybank (accounts) and state what happen so that they will raise alert if something suspicious occurs or use a diff security question.

Just remember one thing. Banks never calls!

I do receive calls from banks, but only as a follow up to my queries/complaints. In this case, they know the specific details smile.gif On the other hand, scam calls are different.

I pointed out that I have no credit card or any relation with Hong Leong, and he said he is not from Hong Leong but an outcource centre for many banks rclxub.gif
