One of our friends contacted us and discussed about an experience of being scammed. Nothing was lost, fortunately but all the stress and sleepless night endured are a reminder to us that there are certainly many unscrupulous syndicate out there waiting to fish our hard earned money.
Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has years ago came out with some remedies and a portal for us to monitor our financial standing. This includes knowing one's payment track record for the past 12 months, total outstanding amount and monthly payment amount. If you've forgotten, it's called the eCCRIS.
Below is a snap shot of eCCRIS and the link to it is https://eccris.bnm.gov.my/eccris/
