BERHATI-HATI! BE CAREFUL!


GiLoCatur would like to alert all netizens especially the Malaysians out there regarding the scheme / scam like below to get your userid and password. It looks like real, original and authentic. As far as GiLoCatur knows and acknowledges, the provider of the service like gmail and maybank2u normally won't ask passwords from their users or account holders. They can get the passwords by themselves if they want because already in their database. Why should ask from account holders.

Besides, the mechanism to confirm the unused accounts is a bit funny. How many emails GMAIL will receive by this way if it is real? Normally, the provider will acquire their users' feedbacks or send notifications after the users logged in. So, BE ALERT. If you want verification, please contact or email the providers stated in their authentic websites.
