How to spot a fake MDAC site

It asks for payment of any kind.
The address doesn't end in .gov.my.
It's a sponsored search ad — type the address yourself.
It promises "approval" — the MDAC is a registration, not an application.

Already paid?

Look for an official confirmation email with a PIN.
No PIN? Submit a free MDAC on the official portal.
Ask your bank about a chargeback; keep screenshots.
