Be very careful if this message is received on the mobile phone through SMS. It is a known scam that works on an unsuspecting person's greed and steals his credit card details. Clicking on the link in the SMS leads you to a page masquerading as a Maxis rewards page where you are lured that by paying only RM1.35, some attractive items can be redeemed. But then the next page leads you to key in your credit card details - your name, credit card number, expiration date and CVV - and these are then lost to the scammer. Before you know it, you'll have lost substantial money from your credit card account. The warning signs to look out for are, the SMS originating from an unknown number, the bogus Maxis landing page is wholly in Bahasa with no option to choose English, and only a limited range of products to redeem. So be warned and don't fall victim to personal greed. If it's too good to be true, it usually is.
