Beware Of Maybank2U.com Phishing Email

Wednesday 7 July 2010 @ 1:07 pm

I’ve been receiving a lot of phishing emails sent from Maybank2U.com asking the users to secure the account by clicking a link in the email. See the screen shot of the phishing email below :-

The email looks very suspicious when I first received it :-

1. The title has obvious spelling mistake.
2. The email was sent from an unknown source outside Malaysia.
3. The link to secure your account looks legit when you hover your mouse over the link.
In fact, the link is actually pointing to franchiyhancevic.biz (phishing website)

The Whois Record of Maybank2U.com does not have any information about Malayan Banking Berhad. However, the link Maybank2U.com is pointing to Maybank2U.com.my though.

Accessing the phishing website franchiyhancevic.biz did return a Fraud Warning in the browser. However, if you are using an old web browser to access it, the browser might not be able to detect it.

Fraud Alert When Accessing franchiyhancevic.biz

The Whois record of franchiyhancevic.biz is showing the registrant of this domain name is from Argentina.

Please help to spread this article to your friends and family so that more Maybank2U.com.my users are aware of this phishing email and don’t fall into their trap.

Cheers!
