The new Maybank2u login has finally launched a few days back, and its great that it works as advertised, without the lag that it was plagued with earlier. Would be great if it could have been earlier though…
Naturally, there is probably some user confusion due to the migration that scammers aim to take advantage, and I have received no less than 4 different “phishing” e-mails to 2 of my different e-mail addresses (one active since 2001, one active since 2007) that are designed to lead me to a site that looks like Maybank2u, but is not Maybank2u, in an effort to scam users into entering their login details.
If you’re on this blog, reading this, chances are you are a smart person and won’t be fooled. However, if you’re not a smart person, a few things to remember are:
a) If the url is too suspiciously long, like “http://www.mxxxxx-may2u-online.com/Maybanks-Please-Logins-Onlines.htm” its quite likely not the real site.
b) If it was sent from an e-mail address @ a domain other than the original url of the bank its not for real.
c) The phishing mail you receive will most likely ask you to login via the link provided to update your details, or some security precaution. ITS A TRAP!
d) Never login through a link you click through e-mail, whether its a bank or any other website.
e) Take note if the e-mail the notice was sent to is not one that you have registered with the bank.
A foolproof way is really, to type in the URL and press enter.
Also, if you’ve been stupid enough to lose money through this way, please leave a comment, and I will personally give you the grand sum of RM10.
