Hmmm... the offer that she offers looks too nice to be true.

Most probably the same malay-speaking girl. Just change name and phone number so that not easy to trace. I guess this lady/company have lots of SIM cards.

You did the right thing! Good that you asked lots of question and inquiries until she get pissed off and hung up. A genuine telemarketer or customer service personnel will answer your questions/inquiries in a cool and polite manner. I guess the lady is being pressurized by her boss (who is maybe a conman) probably due to low turn-up of 'victims' (or should I say prospective customer).

Well, it doesn't matter if the company is Vector Armada service card, or any other company that do their phone marketing, we as consumer must always be very extra careful. With everything increase in price nowadays, we cannot afford to be cheated and pay unnecessary bills. Every single cents count.

yeah.i also got that phone call.but wonderin how did they get my phone no and details?
1-maybank staff?branch or HQ?(maybe they can give them detail about our credit card.very dangerous people)

another thing they asked me to pay also rm488 if successful apply from maybank,
if not successful,need to pay rm2+++.what do you think?

the number that called me 016-xxx7511.Its a kelantan gal.should be aware for this type of marketing coz i want 2 see them face to face,but they didnt want it.

they call me 3 times already....

1st from that lady...talking2 for about 1 hour...then i said let me think first...

2nd call i received a week later from the same girl...then i said i'm not interested because i have i tight budget....she keep talking and talking for about an hour and i still reject the offer...

last month....received the 3rd call....a guy claimed that he is from the HQ of vector armada....keep talking and talking for almost 1 and a half hour...i still refused to accept the offer but he still keep talking about all the benefits and discount that i can get....

finally i cannot tahan then i scold him and i said "dah 3 kali call...muak dah"....

they are changing their phone no.
now used fix line no..03404444**
can't remember how many time they call me.
got 1 time, i said somebody have called before, then i ask them to stop calling me. then he said, ' bukan saya yang call hari tu, mana saya tau!' then hang up.
today, they call again!

they may get our no from cc agent.

damn, i got this call too, i applied CIMB bank card, just activated the card yesterday and today one guy called me. When the guy ask me about credit card no, i told him the card are not with me, cannot provide him now. Ask him to call back tomorrow.

The fact is i won't accept his next call

btw, he phone no. is 03-404434**

Must be somebody in the credit card centre sold my info to them, can i make police report or such?

I receive this type of call twice. I forgot the 1st time but the 2nd time this afternoon. She said her name is Aina from KL Tower Service Card. As usual, she promote the service card to save your money and credit card. She asked my cr number but I sais my card left in my car. So, tomorrow she said she will call back.

I asked is there any website about this service and she told me to visit www.kltower.com. This is her number, 0162165490.

Later, I called Maybank because I'm using Maybank Visa and they told me no such discount card like that. I knew this from the 1st time I received call about service card.

Just to share with all of you.

Just got a call from them 15minutes ago , promising everything with only 1 time charge RM588 (strange ... most of you said their offer is RM488 PA insurance worth 120k (plus another 20k compare than other)

about 30minutes blowing my mind , free 3d2n around Malaysia plus Singapore and Indonesia ... add another 5% to CAR insurance NCD , 50% on panel for workshop and clinic , and everything ..... to much to state here

Told me the payment is 1 shot deducted from my credit card but once i am asking about easy payment said the payment is depend on me. Just pay about RM37 until finish ( i dont know for how many month) without any interest from credit bank... telling like i am never has deal with a bank and didnt know about the new interest charging ..

Simply tell her , i am very interesting with the offer the only thing has to discuss with my mem ... every single cent is counted by her (hehehehe) and asking for another call .

Like all the scam scheme , they call once only and no other call will be made ... but after i am said that the result is on my mem .. she agreed to call again next Monday .. ... totally against on what they said before ... (the selected , the chosen .. agreed or loose the benefit)

Anyway thanks to this forum .. during my conversation with her .. i am googling and found this forum ... slowly i am decided with polite to have their other phone call .. and , i am shock ..they agreed.

thanks

wow if they can deduct from your credit card, then its really dangerous.
Banks and credit card companies are losing their creditability

Their tactics become more dangerous ....
remember last time , back 1 or 2 years ago ... they inviting us to hear their presentation about kiosk , topup , water filtering ... then changing to car rental , cow , goat .. lintah and belut .

but all these need to meet them , showing up some proof (machine ..banner.. office ..etc) , but the new tactics just by a phone call .. we never know from where the call has been made and where is the exact location .....

lol pls don't give out your expiry date. with that info, they can transfer money from your credit card account. if you tried doing online transactions before you will know that you just need the card number and expire date to do transactions.......

actually , they already know all our card detail .. number , pin , expired ...... what they did is recording that we giving all the information to them .... situation like we did agreed with term and condition.

Without the record , we simply can sue them said that they are deduct or charge our card without our permission or knowledge

thanks

hello my dear LYN frens,

today I received a call from Vector Armada Service Card Sdn Bhd. The phone no. is 03-40444###. At first she ask me whether I got a Maybank credit card or not. I said my one is debit card not credit card. Then I asked the girl how can she got my phone no. coz the no. that she call I just registered 1 month+ and never use the no. to register with anything before. So I felt so weird. The girl keep saying that I am the selected one and I am very lucky so lot of things etc................. She said our conversation was recorded so is very safe 1. But one thing I don't understand, if the conversation is recorded, why the way she spoke to me doesn't sounds pro and she asked me whether I am single or married. When I said I got GF already then she said if I talk with other girl my GF won't angry meh? Then I say other girls also can be friend just like you also can be my friend mah, then the girl suddenly say one thing make me shock, "Tapi saya tak mau jadi kawan you begitu biasa saja mah, saya mau yang lain sikit mah....." or maybe I am too sensitive about this so misunderstand what she said la...... But is this the way customer service talk to the clients????

When she continued brain wash me what is my benefit and if i died my beneficiary will get a lot of money under this service card assurance blah blah blah, I tried to google the company's profile and I saw this tread. After read the few posting and I finally know what's the behind story. I straight asked the girl since I am the lucky one that piked by their company, does it means I can get all the benefits that she said just now without paying a penny? Then the girl only said if I am agreed to get the card then I can get the card free but the need to help me register for the partner company and need to send the card and this and that, so they will charge me RM588 only for those registration and administrative fees........ Then I said thank you, currently I don't need the card coz all the benefits that she mentioned like enjoy free holiday( I am freelance tour guide, people need to pay me some more for holidays ), PA and car assurance etc, I already enjoying those benefits even without their service cards.

Then she said OK lor if you don't want the card now but next time if you want you gotta pay RM5000+ only can enjoy all the privileges above. That time sure I will regret. I just replied her thank you for telling me this and thanks for the call.

Thats all.

I wonder how she can get my private phone no. even my family members also don't know about the number yet.... And just like some of you, they always ask for the details such as you car model, plate no. then only telling you the details.... This is the thing that I don't like..........

Hope the rest can be aware when you all get the call from this company.

Thanks!!

I just receive the call say I the luck winner and say they go my info from Visa/Mastercard funny thing is I got my card about 3-4 month. And I seldom use them. She say I have been selected because the company she world this vektor armada is having an anniversary. I let her talk about their company and such then I say no. She hung up she didn't reply my Salam how rude.

from all the replies here and from my own experience, it's definitely related to credit card holders. especially when those who just got their cards. someone is definitely selling credit card information to Vector Armarda.

I received a call from a person from Vector Armada too. The number is 03-40444921. He speaks Malay and can't understand English at all. He told me I was lucky to be selected to apply for this VIP card as only 100 with "chinese names" are selected. Then I asked him how did you get my number and name? He said, he got it from BANK NEGARA. Huh????

I pun kena this kinda thing before. Crap! They knew all my info. Grrr!

i dapat call lagik ari nie ..suara menggoda ..
malas nak cakap banyak ....mintak maaf ajelah kat dia

Yes, must becareful of such calls.
They get your details including your telephone number, credit card number from the bank.
One of my friend kena before.
Charged RM588 on the statement, but I advised her to return the document and service card for a refund.
Now, my friend already get the amount refunded!
