    Default Malaysian phone scam

    Hey dudes, just a warning that there's a phone scam from Malaysia going around down here. Some woman with broken english from unintelligible company asks to do a survey. I say okay. She asks how would I feel if their company opened up in Australia. I said sure, whatevers.

    She thanked me immediately after that and offered to send something and asked for my address. I refused. So she then called my dad, whom I warned, and he just refused to participate.


    So the lesson is - Malaysia = JERK, as their former PM Mahathir so often demonstrated.

    ^Based on an actual phone call

    Strangely enough they never call me no more.

    So what's the actual scam? That they get your address that anyone could get from the phonebook?
