Maybank2U Phishing Attempts

A couple of my friends have reported received fraudulent email purportedly from Maybank2u, which directed them to log into their Maybank2u account to reverify their account. "Maybank2u" claimed that they have recently suffered a Denial of Service (DOS) attack, hence this exercise.

I know that quite a few people have already got caught, even when the email looked suspicious and in fact, many of such emails were sent from countries outside of Malaysia. Still, these victims were not alerted to this.

Anyway, the funny thing was that these two friends were not caught. They knew this was a phishing attempt from the onset because they don't even hold any account with Maybank, yes, even when Maybank is the largest bank in Malaysia, there are still people who are not Maybank customers!
