KSK Credit Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary company registered under KSK Group Berhad (KSK Group), announced today that it has been maliciously and fraudulently used in several online phishing scams.
KSK Group lodged a formal complaint to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) on 1 September in relation to kskcredit4u.com, a website that is illegally soliciting money from unsuspecting persons under the guise of offering online loans.
In a statement issued earlier today, KSK Group said, “The website’s operator(s) or agent(s) have asked its victims for a cash deposit via bank transfer in order to secure a promised loan, following which they are then asked to go to Bangunan KSK (the headquarters of KSK Group) to collect the sum supposedly borrowed. To mislead those who visit the website, the registered license number of KSK Credit Sdn Bhd has been used by the operator(s), along with our building address, both without approval.”
“We would like to emphasise that to date, KSK Group has neither authorised any third-party website nor appointed any third-party operator or agent under KSK Credit Sdn Bhd. Any such representation is fraudulent and not associated with KSK Group. Last year, two other websites with a similar mode of operation were reported by us and their URLs removed by MCMC, over which we also filed police reports,” added KSK Group.
KSK Group, in the same statement, said, “KSK Credit Sdn Bhd was set up as a subsidiary to only offer private financing for buyers purchasing our property projects,” and further emphasised that both KSK Group and KSK Credit Sdn Bhd does not offer online or personal loans, and that “our official websites remain 8conlay.com, kskland.my, and kskgroup.com.”
Those who have encountered or have been victimised by this online scam, or have further information to share or any relevant enquiries, are urged to contact Ms Ooi from KSK Group at +6016 206 0160.
