News & Reviews:   Email Scam

Have you ever received an email threatening you to deposit a certain amount of money to avoid being exposed of surfing sites you shouldn't be or saying you've been hacked or worse? If you have, then you could be a victim of email spoofing.

Read on to understand more about email spoofing, whether or not you should worry about such blackmail/extortion emails and what you can do about it.

The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) today iterated that it has NEVER offered any schemes that reward members with monetary pay-off. This is after EPF members reportedly received fraudulent emails from irresponsible quarters claiming that they are entitled to a minimum of RM1000 reward if they worked from 2016 to 2021.

Shared on its official Facebook page, EPF warned its members to not fall for such a scam and to not click on the link attached to the email. Furthermore, the statutory body also stressed that it has never appointed or authorised any third parties to offer such a reward.
