Maybank Alerts Online Customers of Fraudulent EmailIt has been brought to Maybank’s attention that some members of the public have received e-mail messages purportedly requesting customers to verify the validity of the e-mail in an attempt to obtain the username (ID) and password of Maybank2u.com customers. This is done with the intention to illegally access the customer’s account.
Maybank would like to clarify that such e-mail messages are not issued by Maybank and advises customers NOT to log in to any of the website links contained in the e-mail. If any customer had clicked on the link in the e-mail, they are advised to change their password immediately, by directly logging in through www.maybank2u.com.
Maybank would like to advise all customers that they should not reveal or disclose their password to anyone at any time online or on the telephone. For further information or clarification, the public can contact our Maybank Group Call Centre at 1-300-88-6688 or log on directly to www.maybank2u.com.

I emailed Andrew on the 17th and I got a reply on the 28th… Not quite speedy gonzales is he…
Anyway Andrew probably has never called his Group Call Center… I swear that they are in Cahoots with the telco’s cause they keep you on hold for so long. In my case it was a good 20 minutes!
I don’t understand.
You emailed Maybank asking about an ATM hoax, but their reply is about Maybank2u.com.my
How does that connect???
