I have encountered this same problem. Kept getting this Maybank e-mails in my work e-mail address. I got so sick and tired one day and i clicked the reply button and said that Maybank DOES NOT have my current work e-mail address as i have not updated it in more than a year and to stop spamming me. Guess what…it stopped after that….hahhahahaha

Joey Logano: Well I don’t rely too much on search engine traffic it’s not too much of an issue.

I am not sure if its a good thing to link to the scam…. I think Google might penalize the website for “linking to a bad neighborhood” as they call it.

Usually when I get those emails, I hover over my mouse to see the true url address.

David: Yah I got another one shortly after, exactly the same language but for Ambank. Good job you brushed it off.

moons: Yah it’s hit and miss but they do seem to be country specific at least so their e-mail harvesting is accurate.

Hm.. never gotten one myself but instead got one for CIMB bank and likewise, am not a CIMB customer.

I just do hope that most people using online banking read their banks alert messages and avoid logging in direct from email links as most banks do not even contact their customers through email.

Apparently my professor in the UK did mention about this and she actually gets over 10 phishing emails per day. Guess Malaysia still has rather low fraudulent emails compared to elsewhere.

Got this about 1 or 2 weeks back, it seemed pretty real to me but in the end, brushed it off thinking that it could some kind of scam
