Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz urged Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributors to beware of scam activities and always protect their personal information.
There were advertisements on social and online media that called for contributors to take out their savings to be invested in schemes that reeked of scam after it was announced that application for EPF Account 1 withdrawal would be opened from Dec 21.
There are also news reports about scammers who obtained personal information of members of the public via discarded packaging.
All contributors could protect themselves by utilising the official channels for any EPF matters and DO NOT ever reveal any personal information to unverified platforms, or to individuals without official identification.
