Social media posts have gone viral, claiming that some individuals were issued with arrest warrants from Bank Negara.
Are scammers misusing the Bank Negara name and logo to trick victims into transferring money for investigative reasons?
Verdict:
TRUE
“Do not be fooled by scammers misusing Bank Negara Malaysia’s (BNM) name and logo, and impersonating as BNM officers with fake arrest warrants.
“BNM DOES NOT instruct the public to transfer money or ask for personal banking details for investigation purposes,” the Johor police said on its official Facebook on Friday (June 6).
