The government recently distributed eBeliaRahmah RM200 eWallet credit to youths aged 18 to 20 and eligible full-time students in our country. However, since its disbursement, there have been many stories of recipients getting scammed when trying to cash out the credit, something that the initiative expressly said NOT to do.
As reported by Bernama, the university student, known only as Nur, lost her RM200 eBeliaRahmah credit in the blink of an eye after falling prey to the fake service. Stumbling onto a Twitter user claiming to provide an “eBeliaRahmah credit-to-cash” service, she contacted the person and blindly followed his instructions to transfer her RM200 eBelia credit to his eWallet account.
Following Nur’s story and other similar tales, the Finance Ministry released a statement reminding beneficiaries to not put themselves at risk of falling prey to scams by attempting to cash out the RM200 eBeliaRahmah credit. Instead, they should use the funds at over 1.7 million businesses nationwide, and to pay for services and online purchases through DuitNow.
