Phishing (Pretend to-be) Maybank2U – What You Should Do..
I always receive phishing emails pretending it is from banks and want me to go in reset password or unlock account. Some were phishing banks that I do not even have an account with. Anyway, I start to feel worry that it is getting more and more emails phishing Maybank2U which is, I guess the most popular online banking portal in Malaysia.
I have this 2 emails came into my mailbox this 2 days.
Therefore, I just thinking to write this short article to remind you:
NEVER EVER CLICK ON THE LINK ON THE EMAIL!!!
What you can do is, at least, just ignore the email and delete it. You may want to block the email address which the email is sent from so that you don’t get disturbed next time same email come in from the same address. Anyway, the sender may just use another email address to send again. You just can’t avoid totally. So again, the minder is:
NEVER EVER CLICK ON THE LINK ON THE EMAIL!!!
For more advance users, you could go to http://www.maybank2u.com.my/ and there is a facility for you to report this kind of phishing emails.
On the first page of maybank2u.com, there is a link here:
Do you see the ‘Report suspicious email’? Click on the link and you will reach the next page as follow:
So just fill in the information and let the bank know your case. May the bank able to protect the user better when they have more information in hand.
And what you could do to protect yourself is:
NEVER EVER CLICK ON ANY LINKS SAYING THEY ARE FROM YOUR ONLINE BANKING ACCOUNT. THE BANKS DON’T DO SUCH REQUEST!!!
