Beware of 0350218395 SMS message from Aeon Credit card phone call scam Malaysia.
The other day I received a short text message on my cell phone from this number: 60143670653.
The message says:
AEON Card ending ****1169 was charged RM4299 at KLIA. pls call 0327884789 for any enquiry.
When I checked the message details, this is what I got:
From (no name)
+60143670653
Without even having to call up to check, I know this message is definitely a scam right off the bat.
The reason is I don’t own any AEON card.
The fact is I don’t possess any credit card and one of those sales-inducing cards, under the guise of membership, discount or what they like to call it loyalty program card.
I only carry a debit card. For years now I do most my transactions or payments online.
