. Lesson learned from Macau Scammer. The Macau scam is a well-executed scheme to deceive the public into handing over money to an illegal group of individuals. Scams have the ability to destroy any human life, emotionally, physically, and financially. The Macau frauds taught us a lot of valuable lessons about how not to fall victim to scams..

. First lesson learned. Be wary of phone calls and texts purporting to be from Bank Negara Malaysia or a private bank, or a law enforcement agency..

. Second lesson learned. Do not be duped into sending money to unidentified third-party accounts. If you receive any unsolicited phone calls, SMS messages, or e-mails, protect yourself by not responding to them. Be sure to keep an eye out for bogus calls from people claiming as Bank Negara Malaysia officers..

. Third lesson learned. Bank Negara Malaysia has issued a warning to the public against phishing attempts that use its name to trick people into exposing their personal banking details. Do not divulge any financial details about yourself to scammers. This is NOT from the Malaysian central bank, Bank Negara..

. Forth lesson learned. Bank Negara Malaysia and commercial banks will never ask for personal banking information or credit card transaction confirmation over the phone, by email, or SMS. Members of the public are reminded that they should never give out their personal identification numbers (PINs or passwords) to third parties..

. Fifth lesson learned. Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) will never contact you about investment opportunities or request personal banking information. Misuse of Bank Negara's name, logo, senior officers' names, and positions is prohibited. Keep an eye out for phoney phone calls, letters, text messages, or e-mails..
