So today, I got this particular email from Maybank2U... with an urgent message!
But then, I realized I don't have any active Maybank account... and I haven't logged in at all. I do have an account but it's inactive, no money there... well, maybe just a few cents la.
When I hover the cursor over the link (mybank2u), it links to http://office.wright-dds.com/ which will lead you to another page, requesting for your TAC.
Now, from what I understand, you should NEVER disclose your TAC (Transaction Authorization Code) to anyone via email, phone nor sms!!
So, it's clearly a phishing attempt. I wonder where these morons got my email address from?? Insider job maybe??
So, guys berhati-hati la ya... jangan tertipu.
* Maybank does not send out any e-mail or SMS requesting customers to provide personal banking ID or PIN or credit card information. Please do not log in through website links contained in emails supposedly from Maybank or other institutions. Be alert or you may fall victim to a financial scam.

bahaya ni Nessa. scam mcm ni laa ramai yg jadi mangsa kena tipu. kene lebih berhati².
Hahaha! I got the same kind of email too and I don't even have a Maybank account. Bunch of idiots la this people. I don't think a bank would even send you an email asking your your TAC number or any kind of details ... Thanks for the warning :D
hi nessa I got the same too!
tac my foot add la.. in title :)
i got one from hsbc claiming it's a statement details of something i purchased recently.
but then, i dont have any accounts with hsbc, let alone made payment via hsbc. jadi, secara tidak segan silu, terus sia delete. :)

Wahhhhhhhhhhh... u manyak pandai.. u did the hover over.. :) usually the hover over reveals all the spammers.
But thanks for the heads up :)
hahahahhaha mybank2u XD hahaha aduh~
Yeah whenever there's email request for our personal detail, I guess it's spam automatically... :-)

i experienced this a lot of times, nessa. i have 2 online banking account - maybank2u and cimbclick. so far only maybank, i received spam. never from cimbclicks. i wonder why..

Hi Tes! Welcome to Mumblings :)
It pays to be wary at all times. There so many unscrupulous people out there out to get our hard earned money ya. Sori for being preachy there... :)
Thanks for dropping by!
KadusMama ~ Sia baru dua kali dpt... sia rasa bisuk2 ada lagi tu. Cisss!!
Ya, sia pun baru kasi repot the sites to Maybank tadi.
Cilaka oh kan semua ni kaki tipu..bikin panas!!!
Be careful. I always get something like this.
The saddest thing about this is that people actually get duped by this.
be aware !! there is fake email which is a scam
I get those frequently only from banks in my area. I don't have accounts with these banks. The key is looking at how they address you. If it starts with Dear customer, or dear account holder you know it's not for real. Aside from the fact that banks will never ask for the information they request if they do send you an email they would use your name not just dear customer.
rizal pun dulu pernah kena.
Nasib Baik la rizal tak klik pautan tu. Yang pernah terkena macam ni tapi tak teruk sangat untuk akaun twitter.
Nasib Baik akaun twitter bukan yang berkaitan dengan bank.
Mekasih sebab singgah dan komen di kotak sapaan (tak mahu panggil kotak jerit sebab tak chantik bunyinya. hehe)
Mama Mia ~ Memang bikin panas! Teda lain mo buat, mo tipu urang seja karaja. Cuba kalu kita rampas duit dia, dia suka ka inda...
Blinkky ~ We should always be on guard... there are always 'evil creatures' out there who love to swindle people off their $$.
Bem ~ Yeah, just like those Nigerian scams and work-from-home scams... some people are so gullible, dat's why :(
Hi Eldy! Welcome to Mumblings :)
Yeah, I get loads of 'em in my email. Sometimes I win a lottery, or I just miraculously inherit money from a rich uncle!!
Thanks for dropping by :)
Hi Ann! Welcome to Mumblings :)
That's true. If it's authentic, the banks will address us by our full name and mention the particular account number/numbers. But banks don't even do that, they'll call us directly and ask us to come to the bank instead.
Thanks for dropping by :)
Hola Rizal! :D
Jangan! Jangan klik pautan itu!! *ala2 drama swasta*
Nessa ada akaun twitter jugak tapi tak la aktif... update pun once in purple moon... hehe
Iya, kota sapaan memang lebih chantek bunyinya. Kotak jerit macam nak marah je :D
