Received a call from +44 20 4712 3698 at 4.27pm, but when I tried to answer it already cut off. But I did not ring back, because I saw the number +44, belongs to United Kingdom. It would cost me RM 0.08/30seconds (fixed line) or RM 0.45/30 seconds (mobile).
I googled and found who calls me regarding this and noticed that a lots of people received scam call from this number as well.
However, I received another call again on 8.05pm and managed to pick up, from the conversation, he said he from local corporate and want to discuss finance with me. From the slang I heard, I suspect he is African, because I have friends from Africa, Europe, India, Pakistan, Australia and China, so I’m very familiar with their slang.
However, his english speaking was really bad, so I did not hear properly and I replied with huh? huh? huh?
Then he asked me whether I know english (this was the most funny stupid question of the day), I said nope, then line cut…
Conclusion, please stay away from this number. I believed this number is belongs to online calling service. Low cost but high return (if successful cheated/scam/phish) = big scam!
Thanks for the heads up. This number had been trying to reach me.
also almost kena scam. Keep on telling is from this company brokercapital. Other please beware!! Don’t fall prey.
Oh hey! Thank goodness I found your blog and your writing abt this! I had numerous calls from this number as well, but called on timing that I wasn’t free! Well, no luck for that person I guess? Lol! But thanks a lot for sharing! It’s the exact number that I got!
I’ve been getting calls from this number too, and my search brought me to this page. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I’m from Malaysia and the call was to my Maxis line as well. I’m planning to report this to MCMC.
RMvalues team from Malaysia as well. 🙂
Hi.
I am a Malaysian as well that got misled into this service called Brokercapital back in the mid of last year.
After a few weeks, there were calls from this number claiming to be a broker, and the person on the other end was clearly Russian along with a few others including women.
They were very persistent and they sounded serious. Each time I said no they shouted back. They said go into your office or wherever and shout out that you need money. I am sure someone will loan you. I said nonsense. They said your margin level look at it! You’ll loose everything in the next 2 hours. I said banks are closed I can’t do anything. They said didn’t I tell you to go shout out that you need money? Sell something!
I keep asking them that I chose not to do it but they call me back and they said that they want to help, but I kept saying that I have no money.
They got very angry and threatened to report me and have me fined by their authorities. I said go ahead and then another person called claiming that they will get the authorities accusing me of playing with their system and not being serious, unless I follow the broker’s instructions.
Total amount lost about RM 40k to 60k.
Report has been made by someone else and warnings have been issued by various monetary authorities.
