Yes. This is a scam. I do a lot of work in KL with local prosecution agencies and this is a sophisticated version of a couple of well-known scams. It is much the same as some of those we saw coming out of Europe in recent years and is also an upmarket version of a locally-developed scam in which people are persuaded to reveal their bak a/c details (supposedly so the prize can be deposited into their a/c but what happens is the opposite. Amazingly, people are fooled by it. I would report this to the AFP (Australian Federal Police) who have operatives in Malaysia who could easily confirm this.
