ok, i received a call from streamyx and saying that i can apply for personal insurance for very low price per month and the offer was quite good for a layman (i never apply before).

but i also need to give out my credit card number because the rep asked right on the spot. suddenly i realize why should i provide my card number without even having a clear idea of what it is all about, at least some black and white paper or website? so i said i forgot the number during telling the number halfway and the card is not with me (which is true also). some more the phone number is "private no" so i can't even confirm who's calling. but the rep do have my correct address registered under streamyx account.

i was told that it's only available for customers who subsribed streamyx for more than a year. anyone receive similar call?

what the fuh? is this a lucky draw thing or what?

and airasia also got?

it's not that i don't believe them, but at least let me just choose to pay in bank transfer or even cash. credit card? no way, they can just charge any amount and i'll be doomed...

did they asked for credit card number or something? and what did you respond them?

yup i didn't give them. IC number is ok i think, they can't do anything i guess? in fact if got lobang you can buy from companies, there might be some jerks working inside and selling private informations to outside.

i've done some research just now, apparently Streamyx and AIG are partners, no doubt.

but why must debit/credit card? weird.

oh, exactly the same amount i got offered. so i guess it's valid and safe. thanks for the information!!

ok i guess it's not some kind of special offer anyway. i believe my parents alaready signed me up some insurance too. guess i better reject it lol.

the rep called me again, and i enrolled the AIG thing, and will see what's the big deal since it's not really big money to spend every month (and they said won't increase the fee according to age). anyway i got the rep's name, service hotline as well as HQ phone number, doesn't seems to smell fishy.

if anything happened i'll report here to warn others.
