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.

Yes, I already called and they confirmed I don't have any CC or banking account with them.
they also verified the number given by the scammer and confirmed they had received similar report.
