I have CIMB accounts, but I found this email is not convincing enough.

Dear CIMB Bank customer,
We are hereby notifying you that we’ve recently suffered a DDos-Attack on one of our’s Internet Banking server. For security reasons you must complete the next steps to verify the integrity of your CIMBClicks account. If you fail to complete the verification in the next 24 hours your account will be suspended.

Seriously, can this be real? DDos attack??? I think I will just let my accounts suspended then. I won’t be using the money which is not much anyway. I was too lazy to close all my accounts back home and just leave them there. LOL!

I did click on the link and it showed the same website like CIMB. But from the official website, I found this latest news:

A bogus link is usually provided in that email which leads to a fake website identical to the bank’s website.

Never respond to emails, open attachments, or click on suspicious links from reputable institutions or unknown senders asking for personal or financial information.

CIMB will never ask you to validate or restore your internet banking access via email or pop-up windows.

If you have entered personal information after clicking on a link or suspect fraudulent behavior, please call us immediately at 1-300-880-900 or email to callcentre@cimb.com

There you go. It’s a scam.
