Maybank has issued a warning to the public about a scam using its name. The scam involves the distribution of phishing emails and SMS messages that appear to be official messages from Maybank. The emails and SMS messages contain links to fake websites that trick people into making payments by revealing their credit or debit card details. So, what should you know about it?
For your information, Maybank also uploaded two screenshots from the email and SMS, which allegedly required customers to pay a certain amount of money because their subscriptions were restricted. They also needed to log in to their respective accounts to redeem an iPhone 16 Pro Max in conjunction with the festive season.
Moreover, it is understood that the sender's modus operandi usually targets the less sensitive, with the scammers attempting to obtain their personal and financial information through this method. Maybank has never asked for any personal information related to bank accounts from users. Therefore, they urge the public to be more careful by first checking and verifying from official sources.
