i normally don't check my letters. I just walk into ambank fill up the form , ask the teller how much i owe them then i pay lor.
and when i find the sum a bit strange, i ask them (mbf not ambank) to print past 5 months bill for me (and they charge me) this edward mugui's name was registered to board airasia flight to sabah multiple times . (about 3k paid ). the last flight was confirmed by airasia that they suspected fraud and cancelled the filght but mbf still charge me. the statement shows only destination to sabah and i called airasia to find out who. (I have never been to sabah before)
second time is when my credit card statement was missing 1 month and the next month it shows that i busted limit at 10k. so i called to ask for printout of previous statement. and heyho, hotel usage in china, all in china. the last time i use the credit card in china was 6 month ago (before the fraud) buying a jade piece for my gf . since i dont have enough rmb to pay, i swipe card lor. (rmb 10k) the shop is one of the goverment company (jade business ) as claimed by the tour guide. returning from the trip,( i pay back the loan) and i check statement every month for 3 month. after that i dont check because never use credit card ma. then on around 5th month, i swipe to buy something (a few k) and then i check statement but statement was missing for that month. so i wait for next months statement. and it shows credit used more than 10k. ( they give me over the limit facility. i.e. limit 10k but i can swipe 11K or more but will be under full payment on next bill)
i have gone to mbf cards office to complain on the first fraud and i went there to update my records (after i also fedup and paid for the 3k). as i am not staying in malaysia, i told them to call me at my number in thailand and gave them address . they never call.
oh.. now i recall. on the first fraud, mbf knew about the fraud. they changed my credit card number without informing me. when i go to pay. they say that the number on my card is not valid and gave me a new number to pay. that is when i start querying and ask them to print 5 months back statement after talking to the teller at ambank.
"how could you have paid for something without knowing it ?"
what is wrong with paying without knowing ? i sometimes overpay my credit card by thousand ringgits.
i do that very often ok. i dont like the hassle to go and pay. to me credit card is not for emengency use. i get credit card because of eazy pumping petrol, currency exchange when travelling overseas, my wife wants the points,buy something when i go shopping and don't carry enough cash.
my credit card is sometimes a debit card because i over pay them. mbf offer to increase my limit which i did not apply for.

( this was many years ago)
now i hold only 1 card.( foreign bank platinum sup. card) and now company cashier follow up on all my family members credit card statement. i do not get problem with foreign bank credit card. safer and much more friendlier. credit limit? no hassle. just call the hot line and they will increase it on the spot for my purchase. free gift? just open the booklet and choose. points are accumulated togather as family . and double points for platinum.
imho, high credit limit is not good.
your lesson teach us, always check bank statement. preferable ONLINE STATEMENT on weekly basis.
