Chinese New Year is around the corner, every parents must be spending a lot of money by giving Ang Pow to children. Parents gotta withdraw lots of money from Banks, so this is the best chance for scammers to scam parents. Scammers are increasing day by day, but they don’t have to scam your money by face to face, they can simply scam your money without meet each other or even you don’t know who are them.
As usual, I checked my emails and I was shocked while received an email from CIMB Bank with title “Alert:- Account Problem“. I was curious why CIMB Bank sent me email, because I personally don’t have a CIMB Bank account. So I read the email, “CIMB Bank” informed us that they were experiencing a serious problem with the logon server, so CIMB Bank user must login to their account via the link given and restore your account.
“Brather, why can’t I login CIMB Bank by visiting their main site? Why should I visit your link? You want make money? I ask my lecturer teach you how to make money online okay? Don’t scam people okay?”
Email as below :-
Dear Valued Customer,

Although I’m a not CIMB Bank user, but I would like to spread this emails to ask everyone who is a CIMB Bank user to beware of such email and not to get scammed by them. Chinese New Year is around the corner and don’t let them spoil your mood and plans okay? Ignore the email or point your arrow on the “Delete” button.
“CIMB Bank” please get out of our sight! If you scam anyone and get caught, I believe that you won’t be having a Happy Chinese New Year and let everyone curse you!
Anyway, I’m here to wish all the bloggers a Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year!!

Hi devlim,
Haha! Definitely! Chinese get scammed during CNY is the most “pantang” incident, people must curse you for the whole year!
LoL thanks for the post KaHoong. I’ve been receiving different kind of scam emails nowadays, some request to bank in money to them first and I’ll be getting a big amount of money. Just weeks ago I’ve read some news regarding a young man around 22 got cheated around 1 million USD by email scam.

Hi Stanzer_V,
Oh I think I have received tonnes of emails with the same content with you. I did face same case via handphone too. First, they will call to ask about your personal details and said your name is chosen for some Contest. After 2 days, they will call and ask you to join their party at somewhere around and they also have lucky draw for the night, even though we don’t go, they will give us the prize if our name had been drawn. The next day, they will call and congrats you that you win the lucky draw. It’s 10k cash, but you have to pay 2k deposit to withdraw the 10k as their bank require us to do so.
I don’t know why there is so much scam email and report around the net and news, but still have people get scammed. Too bad.
The scam is pretty obvious. To avoid being scammed, make sure the domain name is correct.

Hi hyperX,
Yes! We just have to make sure that we visit the correct domain name and don’t visit any “hidden link” URL. All of them are scammer!
Congratulations to you, Kahoong!
