Hey Guys,
This happen to my colleague this morning. Please beware. If they do call you do the following

1) Ask them for his name and number and call back AmBank using the number from their website :- http://www.ambg.com.my/general/contactus/contactus.asp

2) Call Bank Negara using thier official number from thier website :- http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?ch=7&pg=219&ac=96

Dear friends,
I have been cheated recently. So I would like to share my experience with you all on the tactic they use. You can forward this to your friends so they will know about it

1) On Saturday, I received a phone call from AMBank, a system playback message announced that “You have outstanding balance of RM4,982 for the AMBank credit card, kindly make the payment asap. For customer service, please press 1″
(This is the first step, they make you angry. When you are angry, you lose your mind)

2) Since I do not have credit card service with AM Bank, I press “1″ to talk to the customer service. And after providing my name and IC number, the customer service told me that there is a credit card under my name. I responded that I did not applied for it before. The customer service said would it be possible that people had stolen my info and made a credit card from it. She suggested me to call the Bank Negara – Pusat Pengurusan Kad Palsu to make a report so that they would investigate on it. Since it was a Sunday, she suggested I make a phone call on Monday and provided me with a phone number 03-8659 0241 .
(This is a fake number, Bank Negara does not have such department. Bank negara number is 03-2698-8044 )

3) On Monday morning, I made a phone call to the given number, I could hear the announcement “Terima Kasih kerana menhubungi Bank Negara…” After that I talked to a guy who spoke in Malay. He called me back later with the same callerID, and started to ask for my detail of complaint. He also kept on telling me that if what I said was not true, I would be charged by police and jailed. He then asked for all my credit card details, whether I had ever used the credit card on ATM, my ATM card and the balance. He also told me not to expose the report detail to my friends as it might affect the investigation result. After that he gave me a report number and mentioned that a colleague from the other department would help me to secure all my bank accounts.
(They do this step to make you believe that they are true, so that you will corporate with them)

4) After a while, I received a phone call from a girl, she told me that they had suspended all my bank accounts now. But the ATM card they could not do it remotely, hence she wanted me to go to the ATM machine, and key in some special “PIN” to stop the card. After I reached the ATM, she called me and told me that later what I would see on the screen was not the true info. I just needed to key in the PIN given by her. So I just follow the step and keyed in everything. She then asked me to destroy the transaction slip and throw it away. Then told me within 3 days I could not use my ATM cards and other bank accounts.
(Key in the “PIN” at ATM is fake also, those PIN is actually somebody account number and the amount to be transfer.)
