RHB phishing scam

image
I know I won’t fall for it but looking at this email I can think of many people who would fall for this email scam.
The “validate profile” link (below) itself does not even refer to the RHB official website (www.rhb.com.my).
www.spd-bestensee.de/ValidateNow.php

The title and content of the email is compelling as anyone does not want their account to be locked due to inactivity. It also sounds valid as banks usually put your online account into "inactive" state preventing you from logging in until you have verified yourself by calling their support or via some other method.

I am putting this here to warn anyone not to click on the link and type in your RHB passwords as that malicious site will steal your credentials and use it to log in to your real RHB account and relieve you of your savings !! Beware!!
For your information, RHB will never ask you to revalidate your account by clicking a link and neither does any other local banks like Maybank, Hong Leong, CIMB etc.

Manaslu Circuit Trek is considered one of the most challenging treks in Nepal; it is rewards the adventurous with an
unparalleled alpine experience. The Manaslu trek offers a perfect
combination of rich culture heritage, unsurpassed Himalayan beauty,
spectacular scenic beauty, fascinating Tibetan culture and a rich
mountain biological diversity. Manaslu at 8118 meters is the
8th highest peak in the world and is located near to the border of Nepal
and Tibet. The name Manaslu means "The Spirit-Mountain" in the local dialect, referring to the benevolent and strong deity, which dwells within.

Trekking in Nepal…Family Adventure style
The towering Himalayas are, to many travellers’ minds, the chief reason for visiting

Nepal. The country tumbles steeply down from the 800km stretch of the Himalayan

battlements that forms its northern border, and can claim no fewer than eight of the

world’s ten highest peaks – including, of course, Everest, the highest of them all. The

mountains are more than just physically astonishing, however. The cultures of highland-

dwelling Nepalese peoples are rich and fascinating, and the relaxed, companionable spirit

of trekking life is an attraction in itself. The Himalayas have long exerted a powerful

spiritual pull, too. In Hindu mythology, the mountains are where gods go to contemplate,

while the Sherpas and other mountain peoples hold certain peaks to be the very embodiment

of deities.
Most visitors to mountain areas stick to a few well-established trekking routes. They have

good reasons for doing so: the classic trails of the Everest region with its famous trails

like Everest Base

camp trek
and the 3 high passes are both mind blowing ventures and highly popular in

the world. And Annapurna regions are so popular because they offer close-up views of the

very highest peaks; this includes Annapurna 1 & 2, fishtail peak and Ganesh Himal trek.

Famous treks like the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, Annapurna Base

camp trek
& the Annapurna Circuit trek are some of the most famous on earth. Dramatic

scenery and fascinating local cultures are most known in this area. Lodges on the main

trails – some as sophisticated as ski chalets, these days – make it possible to go without

carrying a lot of gear or learning Nepali, and without spending too much money, either.

While trekking, you’ll likely eat and sleep for $20–30 a day. For those who put a high

priority on getting away from it all, there are plenty of less-developed routes, of

course, and simply going out of season or taking a side-route off the main trail makes a

huge difference.
The Helambu and Langtang regions are less striking but conveniently close to Kathmandu,

attracting a little fewer than ten percent of trekkers. The Langtang valley

trek
& the Ganja-La pass are known trails in this area. This leaves vast areas of

eastern and far western Nepal relatively untrodden by visitors. To hike in these areas

you’ll need either to get set for camping and carry your own supplies, and live like a

local, or pay to join an organized trek with tents and accept the compromises that go

along with that.
With a good operator, you can anywhere in the wild. A Great Himalayan Trail now runs the

length of highland Nepal – though it will be for some time, if ever, before such a route

will be serviced by lodges.
Treks in remote far eastern and far western Nepal are mostly restricted to two kinds of

globe trotters, both adventurous in their own way. The majority come on organized camping

treks with agencies – in fact, this is obligatory for those areas that require a permit.

The minority are independent trekkers prepared either to carry tents and food or negotiate

with porters, or to seek food and lodging in local homes and basic lodges. Some great

camping outdoors include the Manaslu circuit Trek, Upper Mustang trek

the Dhaulagiri circuit, Rara lake trek and the great Kangchenjunga trek, both north and

south.

Tsum Valley Trek is a mysterious and magical valley located in a far-flung region of Gorkha district in northwestern Nepal. It is known as BeyulKyimolung in the locally spoken Tibetan language which translates to “Holy Hidden Valley of Happiness”. It is indeed a hidden hub of happiness where spirituality meets natural beauty. In the 8th century, Guru Rinpoche described Tsum Valley as the Holy Valley of Bliss, and now 13 centuries later, the mystical and spiritual aura of the valley is still intact. However, it can be attributed to the fact that the remote valley was a restricted region up until 2007 AD. The region is largely unexplored in comparison to other trekking routes, with relatively virgin and less beaten paths waiting to be traveled.
