1. logical.  if you cant brain this, why cant ask a 2nd person to help you "clarify" this ?

2. even you dont have any friend who can trust, TRY CHATGPT. give it 30sec, it can fully explain why this is a "very common scam tactic" , and this is FREE consultation.

3. dont have lawyer friend? do you have extra RM500 to spend? 2 hour simple query, cost round this price. for a normal solicitator.. or even criminal lawyer.
You dont have to be HIGH IQ, but if your logical sense still working, you know, how to seek "extra opinion" for clarity.
