In My Credit Card Tutorial 2018, published on 29 December 2017, I have recommended that you guys reset the SMS Alert Default value to RM1.

I remind you, it is imperative that you follow my advise above because my Maybank 2 Platinum Cards AMEX and Maybank 2 Cards AMEX Reserve were used for authorized online transactions. The amount for each transaction was not huge, less than USD50. Actually for my AMEX Reserve, the amount was USD1!!!

But because I had reset all my Maybank Credit Cards’ SMS Default Value to RM1, I receive SMS notifications for most of my transactions and by fraudsters too.

After I posted my Credit Card Tutorial 2018, two persons commented at my Facebook which I thought I should share with you guys.
