How Does ZiggFin Protect Users from Fake Agents in Malaysia?

“So many agents online — how do I know who’s real?”

If you’ve ever searched for insurance, unit trust, or estate planning help in Malaysia, you’ve probably seen plenty of “advisors” online.

But can you really trust everyone with a nice profile picture and some fancy posts?

Let’s be honest — fake agents are everywhere.

Some just want to make fast money, some don’t even have a license, and some may even scam you for your details.

How can you protect yourself and be sure the person you’re talking to is really certified?


Why fake agents are such a problem in Malaysia

  • Many people look for financial advice on social media, WhatsApp groups, or via referrals
  • It’s hard to check who is really certified, especially if you’re not familiar with the industry
  • Some fake agents use fake names, stolen photos, or pretend to represent famous companies
  • If you buy from a fake agent, your policy or investment may not be valid — and you may never see your money again


How ZiggFin makes it safe to find a real, certified advisor

1. Strict document verification for all professionals

Every advisor who wants to list on ZiggFin must submit:

  • Valid licenses (insurance, UTC, estate planner, etc.)
  • Company or agency letter of appointment
  • Supporting documents for their claimed services

Our team manually checks all documents before any profile goes live.

2. Verified Badge system — so you know who’s real

Only after passing verification will an advisor get a Verified Badge on their profile.

If you don’t see this badge, that advisor hasn’t passed our checks!

You can filter advisors to show only those with Verified status — making it easy to avoid fakes.

3. Transparent profile info (no more “mystery agent”)

ZiggFin requires all professionals to clearly display:

  • Full name and credentials
  • Real profile photo
  • Service areas, company, and languages spoken
  • Introduction and, if possible, a Spotlight video

You can compare and decide, with everything out in the open.

4. No cold DMs, no sales spam — you’re always in control

You decide when (and if) you want to contact an advisor.

There’s no random WhatsApp DM or “let’s meet up” pressure.

If you don’t reach out, nobody can chase or spam you.


What if someone tries to cheat the system?

ZiggFin has a reporting mechanism.

If you notice any suspicious profiles or behaviour (e.g., someone pretending to be another advisor, using fake info), you can easily report them to the platform.

Our team will investigate and, if needed, ban that account.


Summary — Only trust what you can verify

In Malaysia’s financial industry, it’s just not worth risking your money, data, or peace of mind with a “mystery agent.”

ZiggFin gives you:

  • Peace of mind: everyone is verified
  • Control: you choose who to contact, when you’re ready
  • Transparency: all info, up front, nothing to hide
