Maybank took to their Facebook page on 5 June to address the issue of a fake SMS that is being sent to its users via shortcodes. They warned that the SMS may be sent by scammers to steal your Maybank2u login details as well as other personal information.
“NEVER click on the link provided. Maybank will not send a link via SMS to confirm or update your account.”
