Malaysian banks, under the ambit of the Association of Banks in Malaysia (ABM) and Association of Islamic Banking and Financial
Institutions Malaysia , reignited their conviction to educate and make consumers aware of financial scams via the refreshed #JanganKenaScam awareness campaign. Then as now, the goal of the campaign is the help the public combat financial scams and fraudulent banking activities.
The #JanganKenaScam campaign comes after the banking industry, which includes major financial institutions such as Maybank, banded together to implement new safeguards and tools to fight off fraud, including the migration away from One-Time Passwords , imposing a cool-off period for first-time online banking registrations, and implementing a killswitch for compromised accounts, among other things.
“While security and technology measures are important, public awareness remains our strongest defence. Indeed, educating the public against scams is an ongoing effort that must go on. I commend the private sector’s work in coordinating industry-wide anti-scam strategies through its industry taskforce.
As part of the #JanganKenaScam campaign, the banking industry also opened up a new website, www.jangankenascam.com, where visitors can learn about the many different scams and phishing tactics that scammers are likely to employ, in their effort to gain unlawful access into your bank accounts.
“The public will also have an opportunity to experience the #JanganKenaScam Fest at various locations nationwide, starting with the Minggu Saham Amanah Malaysia in Bertam, Penang from now until 8 October 2023 and coming soon in 1 Utama Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya from 15 to 19 November 2023. Joining in is brand ambassador Hairul Azreen, who will feature in selected legs of the #JanganKenaScam Fest.
