Step-by-step actions to take if you are a scam victim in Malaysia
Call 997 within 24 hours. The National Scam Response Centre coordinates with banks to freeze scammer accounts and recover funds. The sooner you call, the higher the chance of recovery.
Visit your nearest police station in person to lodge a report. Bring all evidence: screenshots, transaction receipts, phone numbers, chat logs, and bank statements.
Contact your bank immediately to report the fraudulent transaction and request a freeze or dispute.
If the scam involved an e-wallet transaction, report it to the provider immediately.
If the scam came via phone call or SMS, report it to your mobile operator.
If your bank or provider is not responding adequately, escalate to regulators.
Report the scammer on PenipuMY to warn others and help prevent future victims.
