A Deep Dive Into Scam Types and Awareness

As Malaysia continues to deal with a variety of scams, it is crucial for Malaysians to stay informed about the types and how often these fraudulent activities occur. The infographic takes a closer look at the different types of scams and the current levels of public awareness. Understanding these can empower individuals to recognise and avoid potential threats, enhancing their financial safety.

The data presented underscores a critical need for heightened awareness and proactive measures against scams. While a majority of Malaysians are aware of scam alerts from banks, there's still a considerable gap in how these warnings are perceived and acted upon. By fostering a culture of vigilance and informed caution, we can collectively reduce the impact of these fraudulent activities. Stay informed, stay safe, and help us spread the word to keep our communities secure.

If you suspect you've been scammed, immediately call Maybank’s 24/7 Fraud Hotline at 03-5891 4744 or the National Scam Response Centre at 997 (8am-8pm daily).
