Is this number really from maybank?

Just received a call from 07-219-3568 and the Malay lady said she is from Maybank, because I was still working just now and not really focusing on what she is saying, and after end the call I just realize I didn't confirmed is the phone call really from Maybank.

But I roughly remember she say because I used one Maybank account as account to receive salary, and therefore Maybank want to give a free for life credit card to me, so she want to double confirm my data, she stated the company I am working for, home address and email correctly, she also knew what branch I applied the Maybank account.

Since she can provide so many info correctly, can I assume the number is legit?

Advice after minor car accident

This afternoon I accidentally hit a car slightly when I was reversing my car in the car park area. The car owner was still there and we settled the case by having me to pay RM200, and it's done, after I paid, I find another parking slot near him and parked and went to my original destination.

But I am very concerned about the case and choose to google some similar case, I found some news about been cheat or sue hit and run even the people been sue claims that the case already been settle peacefully before that. Now I am a little bit afraid, will this kind of case happened to me even I paid him? Should I report to the polis? Should I trust the guy for not reporting this case to the polis?
