RHB Invest Website Down
I really couldn’t believe my eyes today.
RHBinvest.com – a leading financial portal in Malaysia – is actually showing an expired domain message on its homepage.
Can’t believe it too? Check out this screenshot:
Upon further investigation, it looks like the domain expired last Friday and someone forgot to renew it. It was only renewed yesterday but the website is still not showing up, probably because the change in domain status is still being propagated throughout the web.
I suspect we’ll see the site back up tonight or tomorrow morning latest.
Since I have an account with RHB, I received an email which played down the event somewhat.
It says: “We have received several incidences whereby there were some technical issues on 14 December 2008 (Sunday). The issue has been resolved yesterday evening…”
I sure wouldn’t want to be in the Webmaster’s shoes right now. There’ll be some angry RHB bosses looking for scapegoats to fry.
For those of you who trade through RHBinvest, there is no need to panic… Our money is still there. Things should be back to normal tomorrow.

What a careless mistake that is. Few months ago a famous local online advertising company was having such embarrassing moment too.

Yep it’s really embarrasing… and looking at the domain records, they only renewed it for one year! Trying to save money perhaps?
I think you’re refering to Advertlets right? I heard that they let their domain lapse on purpose to create publicity, dunno how true is it. I’m sure in this case RHB didn’t do it on purpose

This one always happened in Malaysia.
Typical!

hi, I was able to access the site on Monday morning way before the market opened, so fortunately trading was not affected for me.
The market is trading within a tight range with small volume; there’s likelihood of further upside especially early January when funds take new position for the new year, and selling is waning even with some negative news flowing in, so there’s good opportunity to sell into strength by mid january.

AdvertXXts plays all sorts of tricks! I am so pissed off that they kept delaying my cashout and has never paid me a single cent (I have submitted to cash out more than RM300 since 6 months ago receive no payment despite umpteen complaint made to adverlets). They delay payment by giving 1001 excuses, such as : they are changing accounting system, they are having postal problems, they forgot your bank number (the stupidest excuse), and the list goes on and on…
I found out from many other victims that they too face the same scenario.
I am just too pissed off and can’t help to share my experience when I saw the mentioning of it.
STAY AWAY from this scam!!!
