Hello Lowyat Forum members,

I am not sure where to post this in the forum but I figure this is the best suitable place after reading the rules n regulations. Hope admin reads as well and consider where to move it to for the appropriate place.

A short intro for myself as a unifi user,
- I am a 5mbps user and I pay RM147 per month for the past 2 years.
- I am a consistent payer as I use auto bill every month

Today I got a shocking call from this number (03 5517 1188)

QUOTE
- We spoke for 2 minutes. The answer as such
A = him
B = Me


A : Hello sir, I am from the Telekom Malaysia. We know you are an unifi user for 2 years already but currently your debt you owed to us is RM500
B : Okay. I am an auto bill person and yesterday UniFi sent me a messaged that I have paid my bills.
A : Hello sir, unfortunately you had not pay at all. We need you to pay today or we plan to send this case to Court
B : Okay. I'll go and check my unifi bill first.
A : *Raised his voice* You better bank in before 5pm (30th May 2014) or we brining this case up to court
B : Okay. I'll go check first before 5pm and if its a need to pay i'll pay. Thank you bye.

- closes call -

As evidence I have always paid my unifi bill via autobill and unifi will always send me a message to confirmed I have paid,
and i receive a msg from them today (30th May 2014) stating I have cleared my payments.

So I am quite shocked on the fact that I owe them RM500, how is that possible when my bill is RM147 per month, it will never reach even number.
Why I want to open this thread? Because by far this scam seems very legit, it was in a office that he made a call to me and screwing me over the fact I didn't pay RM500 which I did.
I want to help by warning people if you have receive this type of call it's pretty much I can conclude a scam.

These company knows my phone, my surname and my history of UniFi thats quite surprising. After my call ended they sent me a message as well

This photo of my account numbers is from last year October 2013 when my autobill did not work because I changed my credit card so I have already solved the issue by entering new credit card number n every month my unifi is auto billed until 2014 with no any problems.
shocking.gif shocking.gif Another fact you can see the number account of mine they sent me isn't my number account and from there i can actually conclude its a scam at the same time these scammers wont give up, keep calling me.

There might be a possibility on this or someone actually passed all my info to scammer.
What I am very worry is people who had no experience in searching for hints and finding out for scammer, I am afraid they fall into the trap.

hope you can share this around to get some awareness or those who have gotten this before share your story to build up more info of this scam. Thanks!!

there is plenty of scam like this going on especially TM/TNB/Unifi. Its been years I last subscript to Unifi I still get calls for payment overdue, or phone bill overdue for 300-500. if you check they always get your name correct, but account number is different.

I think chances are they scam you to pay bill for other ppl's account.

and yes, telekom should not call or sms customer using mobile number
now our maximum credit limit from TM is only 3x monthly bill before they proceed to block your service, so if you can still use your service, you have not reach the max 3 months limit yet

maybe you can report these numbers to MCMC and get them to block it

Then I assume you dont know how important your information can be. Because people like these who have our information they can leak it out to company like scam company n ppl get scam at the end of the day.

Got this before. They put the wrong account number for me to pay (I suspect the SMS not from TM anyway).
Just ignore it and stick to your account number. Pay promptly and subscribe for Email bill delivery.
