With scam cases seeing a significant increase in recent months, it is more important than ever to stay alert and vigilant to protect yourself and your loved ones.
Here are some common phrases that scammers use:
- “Limited time offer. Gain at least 20% in returns every month.”
- “Invest today! Investment returns will be credited to your account today!”
- “Congratulations! You have won a XYZ gift card worth RM1,000. Claim your prize now!”
- “Your personal data has been compromised. Please provide information about your bank account and your credit card for verification.”
- “You have been involved in a money laundering case. Please register with Bank Negara Malaysia and provide your personal details and bank account details.”
- “You have an unclaimed parcel. Please bank in the shipping fees and tax for processing.”
Beware of claims that are too good to be true. They are most likely to be scam tactics.
