LUMPUR: The police have urged the public to be aware that the MyBNM app is being used by unscrupulous parties to commit fraud.
The MyBNM app was an online application offered by Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) from November 2015 till November last year.
Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Datuk Zainuddin Yaacob said in a statement today that victims of such cases would be contacted by suspects posing as enforcement agency officers, including BNM.
He said the victims would then be asked to download the fake MyBNM app and through the app, they would be asked to key in personal details including their name, ATM card number and PIN, username and password.
