How Can I Protect Myself?

Common Types of Scams

Malaysia’s First Scam Call Alert by U Mobile

Our Scam Call Alert looks out for you by flagging potential scam calls before you answer. It’s a security feature built into our network that works quietly in the background to help protect you to give you the peace of mind.

If a call seems suspicious, a “Scam Alert” appears on your screen, giving you the choice to answer or ignore it.

Benefits for you

Get warned early – Know if a call looks like a scam before you answer

Lower your risk – Helps protect you from financial loss and identity theft

Peace of mind – Extra protection for everyday calls, especially unknown numbers

{ "layout": "fixed-width-carousel", "autoRotationDuration": 0, "useNumberPagination": false }

Scammers are using fake mobile signal stations to send SMS messages with suspicious links. These links may lead to fake websites that try to steal your personal or banking details.

A common sign: your phone suddenly drops to 2G (from fake mobile signal station), then you receive an SMS with a link. This could be part of the scam of the fake mobile signal station.

To protect you, we’ve blocked all SMS messages containing links on our network. So if you get a text with a link, it’s likely a scam and should be ignored. Your safety is our priority. Here’s what you can do to stay alert and protected with us:

Don’t click on any SMS links

Never share personal, banking, or login details through SMS

Report suspicious messages to our official customer service channels

{ "layout": "fixed-width-carousel", "autoRotationDuration": 0, "useNumberPagination": false }

U Mobile will never ask for your personal details via email, SMS, calls, or messaging apps. If you are asked for this information, you may be a target of scammers. Stay alert for these common scam tactics:

{ "layout": "arrow-carousel", "autoRotationDuration": 0, "useNumberPagination": false }

Mismatched email/website domains or spelling errors

Stay vigilant for subtle misspellings in emails or website domains–for example, 'o' being replaced with '0'.
For websites, ensure the URL starts with “https://” and check for a padlock icon near the address bar.

Urgent call-to-action

Be wary of any call, SMS or email that carry an urgent call-to-action, e.g. stating that this is your last warning, you have pending fines, etc.
These scams generate a false sense of urgency so that you will be compelled to act.

Automated calls

An automated robocall is almost certainly a scam.
Most calls will require you to reveal either your ID number, account number or TAC.

Unsolicited calls

Legitimate institutions will rarely call unexpectedly unless you've contacted them first or they've reached out through other means.
If you receive an unsolicited call from people claiming to be from U Mobile, the authorities, or other organisations, it’s likely a scam.

Pitching calls

Scam calls often pitch deals that sound too good to be true.
Common scams offer free trials, cash prizes, cheap trips, or low-risk, high-return investments.

Unknown or first-time senders

If you receive a message or email from an unknown sender, verify the sender’s details and content before taking action.
When in doubt, call the official hotline—use contact info from the official website, not the message.

{ "layout": "arrow-carousel", "autoRotationDuration": 0, "useNumberPagination": false }

Do not return calls/ e-mails/ messages

Avoid scams by ignoring unknown calls, emails, or messages.
Don't return one-ring calls—they may trigger hefty international fees.

Do not provide personal data

Never share your ID number, TAC, or bank and credit card details in response to suspicious calls or emails.
If they claim to have your information and just need confirmation, it’s likely a trick.

Do not open suspicious texts/ links/pop-ups/ attachments

If you’re unsure of any texts, emails, or messages that you’ve received, verify the sender’s identity independently.
Do not use contact details provided in the message sent to you.

Always know who you’re dealing with

If you’ve only met someone online or doubt a company’s legitimacy, research them first.
Check Google, LinkedIn, or other social media platforms to verify their profile and photo.

Cyber criminals are constantly evolving and perfecting their schemes – we've identified some of the most common types of online and phone scams happening today:

{ "layout": "arrow-carousel", "autoRotationDuration": 0, "useNumberPagination": false }

Phishing

Scammers create fake websites that mimic real businesses or organisations, using logos and contact details to appear credible. They then send emails or pop-ups to steal your personal information.

Vishing/Scam Calls

Vishing scams use VoIP to mimic real phone numbers, leaving messages to provoke a callback. If you call back, they'll ask for sensitive information like bank account details to resolve the issue.

Wangiri

Scammers leave missed calls, hoping you will call back to find out who it was. If you return the call, you will be charged a hefty fee as the call will usually be from another country.

Social Media Scams

Malware scammers send emails or social media messages with links to fake websites, tricking you into installing malicious software that lets them access your files, track your activity, and use your personal details to commit fraud.

SMS Scams

SMS scams use unexpected messages to trick you into clicking links that compromise your phone or incur costly charges.
