Binary Options
Binary options are a type of investment where the payout entirely depends on the outcome of a yes/no proposition. The yes/no proposition is typically contingent on whether the price of an underlying asset (e.g. stock) will rise above or fall below a specified amount. Investors either stand to make a return or lose their entire investment in an all-or-nothing payout structure.

Binary options trading have been exploited by fraudulent and illegal operations specifically by:
  • Manipulation of price data to induce customer losses
  • Refusals or delays in the payout of realized gains to customers
  • Failure to keep client funds in a dedicated trust account
  • A lack of trade monitoring by third parties to ensure fair play
  • Deceptive advertising and purposely overstated average returns on investment
  • Charging of undisclosed fees (e.g. for withdrawing funds)
  • Collecting customer information for identity theft purposes
Phishing
Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and payment card details often for malicious reasons, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication.

Anti-phishing is a measure to counter phishing when you log into your account. For Aeon Credit Web Online, an anti-phishing phrase will be assigned to you upon registration. Always look for these words before entering your password during login. If you ever see an unfamiliar phrase, do not continue and report the issue to us.
Unsolicited Calling
AEON Credit would like to remind members of the public to be more vigilant when receiving any calls claiming that it is from AEON Credit or Bank Negara Malaysia or any commercial banks.

Based on recent complaints received by AEON Credit, there are incidents of fraudsters making such calls to unknowing members of the public in order to fraudulently obtain their personal banking information, with the aim of siphoning monies from their accounts. In other cases, fraudsters will request for information relating to the victim's banking and payment card accounts to illegally transfer funds out of the victim's bank account.

Scam Emails
Scam emails are fraudulent (spoofing, impostor, or phishing) emails that seem to have been sent from a legitimate source. These scam emails trick you into keying in sensitive personal information either by misleading you to reply to the scam email or by including embedded links/hyperlinks to a fake website that will trick you to reveal your sensitive/confidential information or login details (username/password).

  • Immediately sign on the signature panel (back of your card) upon receipt.

Safeguarding your PIN
  • When you receive your PIN (Personal Identification Number), always check that the sealed envelope has not been opened or tampered. Immediately call AEON Credit if the seal is broken or opened.
  • Memorize your PIN immediately, make sure it is not accessible by anyone else and destroy the PIN envelope. Go to the nearest Branch/ATM if you need to change your PIN
  • Do not carry your PIN together with your card or disclose it to anyone.

Using your Card at Retail Outlets
  • Treat, value and protect your card as if they were cash, keep your card secured and ensure it's in your possession at all times.
  • Always ensure that all payment card transactions are performed in front of you. Do not let the card out of sight.
  • Check and confirm the card you get back after a transaction from a merchant is yours.
  • Check all the details on your transaction slip and always verify the amount before signing the payment card receipt.
  • Void the incorrect sales slip before you sign a new one.

Using your Card at ATM
  • Keep an eye on your card during the ATM transaction, and get it back as quickly as possible. It is the only way to prevent "shoulder surfing" at ATMs.
  • Please notify AEON Credit should you observe any abnormalities/foreign object attached to the ATM.
  • When creating passwords and PINs, do not use anything that can be easily traced to you such as your date of birth, identity card no., etc. Do not record such information on anything in your wallet.

Online Card Usage
  • When purchasing items over the Internet, give your payment card details only to reliable websites and from a company you trust. Reputable merchant websites use encryption technologies to protect your card information.
  • When you're making online transactions, be sure to read the company's privacy policy to ensure that your information is solely confidential.
  • Check your email after you have made your online purchases as online merchants often send confirmation emails or other communications about your order.
  • Always print and save the confirmation page when completing an online purchase.
  • Ensure the payment card transaction is secure. Observe the address bar at the top of the computer screen and make sure the letters at the beginning of the address start with "https" whenever you are asked to provide card information.

Managing & Filing your Statement/Sales Slip
  • Secure your letter mailbox, promptly collect your mail and be aware of identity theft. If you do not receive your payment card statements on time, please report to us promptly.

  • Notify us in advance for any change in address if you plan on moving house.
  • Keep AEON Credit updated with your latest mobile phone number and email address to allow us to perform verification of unusual or suspicious transactions.

Beware of Scams
  • Be wary of high-pressure sales tactics such as "SCRATCH & WIN" where you are asked for your payment card details.
  • If you received a call from a telemarketer and suspect the caller is a scammer, do ask questions. The fewer questions the caller can answer, the more likely they are calling from an illegitimate business.
  • If an unknown person contacts you and asks for your personal financial information, via a website, do call AEON Credit to verify. If you have already given out your personal information, you must immediately inform our 24-hour Customer Service Centre at (603) 2719 9999 to cancel and change your payment card numbers in case your personal information has been passed to the scammer.
