A friend's friend working in one of the mentioned banks below warned his circle of friends not to reveal any of their personal or banking particulars if they were to receive any emails requesting for such. Banks will not request their customers to respond via emails at all.
A sample of such scrupulous emails is shown below. Worst of all, there are people who will still fall for it .......... no matter how many times it was reported in the mainstream media.

I really wonder how the con job could be executed with a url connection that ties in with the actual bank's url address. The exception was Bumiputra Commerce's url address where it's totally different ......... it's a local e-commerce website promoting local products.
Something's very fishy somewhere ...............
P/S - don't know where will those url address lead you too ......... I didn't try as I'm not wasting my time with it

they are phising !
The amazing fact is how they manage to use the links such as www.(bankname).com.my when the banks are already using it..
i got this few days ago and right away...i deleted it..it's so obvious that these are conmen and i still wonder how some people can fall for it
gosh...i was logged on with my sis's account...wrong person giving comments there
jason - i wonder whether the bank cld delete those links
tan - that's the thing i'm trying to highlight
tanya - greed is the reason
bzbee - haha, nvm
Wow, it'll be very dangerous if they could even access and use the actual bank URL to redirect. I've just tested and those URL leads to 404 Page Not Found. Hmm...
preco - u'll never when they'll re-activate those url links again to dupe others
