just got a call from 0162277184 claiming he is calling from maybank to offer me maybank2card cc...
1. using handphone no?
2. i have been using my maybank2card cc for 2 months+ already...(if really from maybank, should know this)

my friend got a call from hlb to confirm cc transaction...the thing is he dont have cc and didnt apply any..he did call to cancel the card and make police report...what else to do? from this forum i found out that hlb cs is 'the worse'...anyone with experience and knowledge can help?..definately someone use his ic to apply cc without his knowledge..

apparently, its the same modus operandi as the one gen-x referring to..very lucky i know about this forum..and my friend is very thankfull..luckily we manage to figure this out early...first, the so call cs of hlb call to verify the false transaction..when my friend say he never apply cc, then the so call cs tell him he will help make report to police...a few min later, the 'police' call and ask him to go to a silent room to take a recording statement..(this is when i suspect something is wrong..i know police never make recording statement via phone..my dad is a retired police)...then later the 'bank negara' people call and ask to transfer money to a certain account to 'prevent further damage'...actually, we never manage to call hlb..the line keep us on hold forever...luckily police station is nearby, and the real police told us about this kind of scam...very dangerous...my friend is a knowledgeable guy, but im sure, if he is in this alone, he will definately bank-in the money...the level of stress and tension and scare of being scam is very high making it almost imposible just to take a breath and re-think everything...and those scammers is very convincing

the thing is, the no appear on his mobile phone is either unknown or 0301..

i receive a phone call from maybank. he call me using this no. 03-58855100 claiming from maybank shah alam. he say that maybank is offering me maybank2card...the thing is, i own maybank2card since feb last year!..how come maybank didnt know this? what is the point of offering another set of maybank2card if the credit limit is definately shared, and i have to pay extra gst???
