AEON BiG Fake Contest Scam

Beware of the AEON BiG fake contest scam!

On the 6th of August, 2015, AEON BiG issued a warning about a scam syndicate. At that time, we thought that the AEON BiG fake contest scam was related to our recent report of a credit card scam at AEON BiG Bukit Rimau. However, we have confirmed that this is an unrelated scam.

In this AEON BiG scam, a syndicate is going around collecting people’s personal information using a fake AEON BiG contest that promises cars and gold bars as prizes. They are even giving out fake AEON BiG name cards to appear genuine. Take a look at their announcement :
