I suddenly got a called auto voice note from LHDN say I have unsettled income tax. After I asked further, he said got someone use my IC info to register the company at Pahang.
What makes it sounds abit intense when he said I’ll be declared bankruptcy if I don’t make any report today.
The LHDN guy so called Hamdan bin Omar, said he’ll connect me to Polis Cawangan Pahang. The ‘police’ guy said +99 is recording number.
Asked me to go to my car and take a selfie and send a full photo of me. He even asked about my dating life out of sudden. Which is sounded creepy already.
Then, My boyfriend told me this is a scam number! Thank you for this website for validate things! I appreciate it

Dear All,
Please do not believe the above number. LHDN or any official government bodies will never want to send you documents or request documents through the phone as they will want you to be physically present at their offices. They WILL ALWAYS give you HARDCOPY documents for BLACK and WHITE purposes.
I was scammed into the above story, as they started off the conversation by that they are from LHDN and that I have a company "HRC Global (M) Sdn Bhd" registered under my name. They will give you the company name, registration number of the company, SSM number, date of registration and place of registration. Then they will say that the company has a fee of RM36,690 to be paid and you wil need to pay it by today. They will ask you to make a police report on the false usage of your IC and have the police report to be sent to the following:
1. Bank Negara Malaysia; and
2. LHDN (And they need the report before 5 PM on the same day).
They will then transfer you to an IPK Office (it can be IPK Pahang, IPK Kuantan, etc.) and a Sergeant will speak to you. He will say he will call you back using a different number that can record the conversation, the number is +99095052222 and they will try to convince you as much as possible that YOU ARE INVOLVED IN SMUGGLING DRUGS AND MONEY LAUNDERING.
However, I fell for the trap and have given them my:
1. Name as per IC;
2. IC No;
3. Registered address;
4. My Bank accounts with which bank;
5. Expiry date of my debit and credit cards; and
6. A selfie of myself.
I've made a police report on the above and the police officer told me many people have fallen for this scam. So kindly be advised, never be afraid of LHDN especially, they will NEVER make a personal call to you. If you do indeed have committed any offenses, they will always send you a written letter.

+60127266993 is also doing the same scam. Exactly the same MO but they will change the names of their 'officers'.

Similar and exactly same experience as everyone commenting here. Received unknow call around 230 pm from 018-6397290 konon fron LHDN, and then this 99095052222 IPK Pahang, wasted my 2.30 hours otp with all this . Do not ever give your bank card details to them and also just block them straightaway to avoid being scammed. I was lucky as my doubt eager me to search about this HRC Global details. Turn up it was already on the news and there were scammed victims. They make everything sounds so legit and reverse psychology you in all ways till you believe in their bullshit. The last one was the conman inspector asking me to whatsapp his number 01160947256, ask me to report to him 4 times a day. Also send a selfie everytime reporting. The only things ive exposed to him was a selfie, my current address and also bank card validity. However i did called all my relevant bank to verify back my account if there is suspected transaction. Please be careful guys, if you have any uncertainty, definitely must share with your close family. Let them aware of your safety. No matter how smart you are, scammer will always find way to trick you. Once you are mind tricked by them, you’ll feel lost and submit to them. The best thing is to ask yourself, if you never do anything wrong in law, why should you trust what you heard otp. Also arrest warrant will never be issued digitally! Report to the police if possible.

Jangan terima call dari nombor ni. Dia hanya dapatkan no tertera pada kad dan nombor pin sahaja. Dan dia boleh dapatkan no TAC. Sedangkan yang punya nombor telefon tak dapat no TAC.
