Beware of cheater asking for bank account information!


 Well, I am sure all of you are very familiar with the newspaper everyday showing cases of people that had been cheated. I would like to share with you all some tactics used by the cheater due to the seriousness of the situation.

Today I received an e-mail informing me that my account had been locked. This is not the first time I receive such e-mail. I had deleted many such e-mails. The last one claimed it was from Maybank! The e-mail was sent to my spam mail box. The cheater was hoping that I would respond to the email. I am not sure what happened if I click the link. 

One thing I know is the e-mail is trying to get information about my bank account. However, just a glance at the e-mail tell me that this e-mail is sent by cheater!

First, the e-mail is sent using some stupid aezz@aol.com mail address. What stupid company will use such stupid e-mail. The cheater think he is very smart and even put up the Public Bank logo. However, he FORGOT to change the word "Maybank" to "Public Bank" at numerous places in the content.

 So BEWARE if you receive this kind of e-mail. Please double check with the bank first before clicking any link. With careful observation you may even know that the e-mail is FAKE! In fact ALMOST all of such e-mail is FAKE! Banks seldom use e-mail to communicate to customer. 

However, I am worry about some insider job regarding the e-mail. I had no idea where the link will direct me but I am very afraid if just giving even the slightest information will put my whole account at risk. Insider at banker combine with some info of your bank account will cost you your whole life saving money! 

Well, I don't know how to stop this kind of thing from keep coming to my mail box. In fact, I got no idea how the cheater got my e-mail in the first place. That is what worry me the most. Well, after all we are in a place where anything can happen!
