Malaysia's finance ministry has warned the public to be wary of fraudulent social media posts claiming the government is handing out a 300 ringgit ($70 USD) cash aid via e-wallets. The Facebook posts share external links to phishing sites asking users for private information, including national identification and phone numbers. Genuine government subsidies are disbursed to eligible participants' identity cards or bank accounts.
