Telekom Malaysia (TM) has put out another alert on Facebook about a new wave of Internet scams pretending to be from TM. A slew of fake emails and SMS messages have been appearing lately, with one even going so far as to claim to be from the TM Group's CEO. There's even one that would claim that you have won an Apple device but asks you for your personal info for verification.
Rule of thumb: Any email or messages that ask you for your IC, address, etc is probably a scam. If you're not sure, you can always call the official TM hotline, or talk to a TM staff via live web chat for clarification. Another thing to remember is that you should never share any of these messages before you verify them.
