Last couple of days, my brother got a call from Zest Tour & Leisure company, my brother is 20 YO. She asked him if he have a CC, and never had any. then she asked for any cards that haveVISA logo on the card. And my brother got a maybank atm card with the visa logo.
Then the female operator keep asking many kind of question and some of them were very suspicious. - card expiry date - occupation - status - age - address - IC! - CARD's ID NUMBER! And belive or not, my brother REVEALED IT ALL to her! He did that becoz the girl keep pretending talking nice and bla bla bla about the company and the good things they offered at no charge at all. She even gave him her full name, her ic, and their website. so what should i do now? is my brother had been scammed?  |

QUOTE(Gen-X @ Oct 18 2011, 03:41 PM) If it is a debit card, you can go check balance or call Customer Service (for both Credit and Debit Card) and see what they can do. thanks bro Gen-X. If my bro had transferred all my money in that account to another bank, so there no worry they will steal our money, right?? |

QUOTE(Gen-X @ Oct 18 2011, 08:19 PM) if it is a debit card and there no money in the account, I guess there's nothing worry as far as money is concerned. But I think you should call CS and report and block the card or cancel the card. Luckily your brother told you in time before any damage was done. yeah. i told him to transferred all his money in maybank to another account. should i report this matter to maybank or somewhere? |

QUOTE(erry- @ Oct 18 2011, 11:15 PM) (already post somewhere before) thanks a lot to erry and x-gen. may the others wont be easily cheated by this kind of calls next time. if u still worried, just go to maybank and ask for visa debit replacement card, u will be charged rm12 only. just give reason hilang or patah or whatever. the new card will still link to ur mbb acc, but its a new card. with new number, new expiry date and new security code at the back.   Added on October 19, 2011, 12:13 pmsheet!! the same Zest Tour keep calling my brother and today they've made 2 calls. 1st call my broher said hes not interested, the 2nd call i answered it. and the operator still using the same script as last time, and when she asked about the expiry date, i gave false info. then she asked for the card's number (but not the account number). I refused to tell and try to brag her and asked more details about her company, but she tried hard to get away. SHE EVEN ASKED WHICH BANK ACCOUNT I USE TO KEEP MY MONEY. (damn!) then i became more aggressive and told her that she and the f**king zest is a money scammer and bla, bla, bla. finally she pissed off and hung up. this things are going crazy guys. arrghhh  here are the numbers 019 2293712, 017 3058353. but if you call the back, surely they wont answer.
