Progresif Sdn Bhd issued a statement on Friday addressing the recent surge in fraudulent activities targeting customers.

 

The company observed a rise in social engineering scams, particularly through phishing attempts where scammers impersonate Progresif agents, aiming to gain unauthorised access to customers’ Progresif CARE+ accounts.

 

In the few instances, scammers have been reaching out to customers via calls and WhatsApp calls, requesting sensitive information such as log-in details or one-time passwords (OTPs). Subsequently, unauthorised transactions have been attempted on customers’ accounts. Progresif thus urges customers to remain vigilant and take precautions against such scams.
