that is the worst case scenario.

they might use customer data for crime or even steal customer money when they wanted to.

government or BNM should eradicate such activities as soon as possible before it getting worst IMO.

Based on the image, it seems to be Fxx forex broker, not sure your reporting to authority is a wise move. So far heard no or little negative comments on them. Hope your effort would not trigger the authority freeze their account and stuck them into no way, which eventually existing users will be in trouble. You may said you are helping, else you are leading users to black hole. But to be self protect, its your right to justify before depositing. Let us know your update on your investigation. Thanks

The goal does not justify the way.

however,what they do is totally wrong and illegal,users should be aware that they should not use unlicensed system such as help2pay and trustpay88. otherwise they will face the consequences of losing money and the account is frozen by the bank.

we do not know whether they are storing or stealing data of every customer who has been using their system, in addition they violate the banking act in malaysia

Yah,will do update here everytime i get info from BNM,SC and SKMM. Thank you

i did sent to skmm too.

hope to get their response as soon as possible

Please do not login using this site for any transaction. It is not the bank website. There is someone who retrieve your detail and login to the particular banks. You are sharing your login details with them. The only thing they dont have is the mobile phone for the TAC.

Couldnt agree more!

Are u sure this Is scam payment platform? Seems many forex and gambling websites use this as a way to transact. I googled and doesn’t seem to have any good or bad reviews on them.

I'm using eToro and have made deposits using 2 methods, Local Online Banking and Credit/Debit Card.

I find that the Local Online Banking option has better exchange rates (USDMYR), around 1% to 1.5% cheaper, compared to the Credit/Debit Card.

Choosing this option will redirect you to the https://directpay.racethewind.net page.

You are then required to provide your bank's username/password. There are instances that you'll need to give your answers to your security questions as well.

You'll then receive an SMS to enter your OTP. Whole process takes around 1 to 2 minutes.

You may find this unsettling because of the obvious security issues. First thing banks tell you not to provide -> username, password, security answers/questions.

Also, the receiver name won't be "eToro" on your transaction receipts. Go figure.

There is also a chance that your deposit will not be immediately reflected on your eToro account.
Good thing customer service is responsive and have resolved every issue I had, just as long as you present the transaction receipts.

Credit/Debit Card is definitely more convenient and funds are reflected immediately, without compromising any of your online banking information.
You just need to enter your card details, similar to paying in Shopee/Lazada.

And this time, "eToro" will be reflected in your transactions.

My workaround for the Local Online Banking, is to change my bank's password, immediately, each and every time after making a transaction, successful or not.
And when they do ask for the security answers/questions, I also change it after.

I find comfort that passwords, security answers/questions, and mobile numbers (not visible) can't be changed without the OTP.
Also, I'm not using my "main" bank account for this.

Giving answers to security questions sounds like a big no-no. Usually security questions are only needed for password change/account verification stuff etc.
