I recently applied for Maybank 2 Card. On the second day after i received SMS confirmation on the approval of my card, I received a call from this number 0162627650. The lady told me she called to check if I have received my CC via pos laju as they posted it 2 days ago. She also took the opportunity to "educate" me that my new CC must be activated before use. I was working so I told her that I have not received the card and if it was sent to my house that day, then I do not know the status. The call ended.

After I received the card, I call to Maybank hotline for activation and been using the card for 1 week until yesterday. I received the call again. Again, she asked me if I have received the card. She claimed she was calling on behalf of Maybank to check my status. I told her I have already activated my card last week. Then she proceed to said that because of my Maybank 2 card, i am entitle for another card, pay 1 time fee and free for life.

The name of the card is Kad Celebriti which will entitle me for hotel, flight ticket discount, free car towing service, insurance and many other things. The fee I need to pay is ONLY RM499. I sensed something is not right so I asked her if this card is a product of Maybank. Now, she hesitated and answered NO. I told her I will call her back if I am interested which I am not.

The thing here is that, she seems to know so much on my application and approval of my card. She also know the type of card, my age, etc.

This is definately insider's job. Selling our private info to third party.

sigh. Kad Celebriti I guessed. I received similar call. I am Maybank 2 cards holder too. You may refer to my earlier posting #56. Is it similar?

Sound similar to my Kad Celebriti phone call(item no.12). Asked me about whether I received my card, where I work, my occupation.

I applied through amexcards@maybank.com.my. So, anyone inside can have my details.

Snigapoe,
Appreciate if you can entertain the caller if you receive another call and do update us. Don't get scam though . Once she/he blurt out the products they selling, just say not interested.

If it is really the same scam, you will receive another call again in few days time provided the caller have not gave-up.
