Kuala Lumpur, 12 June 2022 – Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or the “Exchange”) urges the public to remain vigilant of phone scams. The Exchange has recently been made aware of a scam where the caller fraudulently represents himself as a Board Member of Bursa Malaysia, asking for a donation.
