If you happen to have received an email with the above heading recently, take note that this is a Scam. All it is trying to do is to fish you into revealing your sensitive information at CIMB Bank. So, if you are a current user of CIMB Clicks you might be particularly interested.
I received this on Christmas day on my mobile and it goes into my mailbox probably because I have no spam mail filter installed on my mobile device. It looks authentic at the first glance due to the bank logo on the heading.
The thief greets you nicely this Christmas
The URL, (https://www.cimbclicks.com.my/ibk/) shown in the email is real and if you type this address on your browser url tab, you will be directed to the following CIMB clicks page:

When I right-clicked the link, or rather press-and-hold in my case, it revealed the phishing website - http://minhtrfurniture.com/auto.php
and the mailing address of this scammer is [anne2.lindh@pp.inet.fi] but I doubt it'll stay that way for long. It is perhaps a dynamically generated email that targets one would-be victim per phishing email.
I know this is quite common and it happens all the time but it is always better to to stay safe online and be wary (and worry) of emails purportedly from your bank asking for 'confirmation' of passwords and/or user name.
Better safe than sorry. Happy banking.
