What each answer means
-
Likely a scam
Do not open it, do not reply, and do not send money.
-
Not certain
Contact the company yourself, using a phone number or app you already have, not one from the message.
-
No warning signs
This is not a guarantee. If you were not expecting it, stay careful.
-
Verified address
The address really belongs to that company. We checked the address, not the page.
-
Could not check
We could not finish checking. Try again in a moment, and be careful until then.
A habit worth learning: read the address
Look at the part just before the first single slash (/). That is where the link really goes. Scam links copy the name, but never the real address.
the real Maybank address
https://www.maybank2u.com.my/home/login
- Who owns this address. This is the part to check.
NOT Maybank. It goes to secure-verify.xyz
https://maybank2u.com.my.secure-verify.xyz/login
- A copied name. Anyone can put this here.
- Who owns this address. This is the part to check.
