My friend got cheated of a lot of money. They will first sms you a message saying you have WON a contest from Petronas or something. Then after you give them a call they will ask you to bank in money to an account for them to send you the check. DO NOT GET CONNED!! Many other guys have already been suckered in like my friend who was stupid enough to actually do something like this.

So to you other guys out there, DON"T fall for this kinda scam. if yu have never done anything for a certain company, then you are not able to win anything. Now i know most people with common sense will know tat a sms like this is fake. But some poor bugger will most like take the bait an end up a few hundred ringgit short of brain cell. biggrin.gif

this is something very old already... been ages.... but i guess there are still some people who still don't know about this and fall to it...

If there are less greedy people and if they read more news or more info .. they won't fall for it easily
