Since I do not speak the local dialog well enough to watch local stations, I do not know if what just happened was real or fake. Someone called my wife's phone to tell her that she had won because Smart service phone number was drawn from a lottery system (ping pong balls). The prize won was 1 million (she doesn't know if it was dollars or riel) and that he and the filming crew had to come to our home for a live interview on TV.

He talked a lot and fast. Having call center experience, I could tell large chunks of what he said he is used to saying them over and over again to others as a script.

He couldn't really speak English and my wife seemed this was a little above her head and she wanted me to handle it. With my limited Khmer, I said no thanks and hung up. He called right back sounding like I was crazy to refuse the money but I said bye and I'm blocking you which I did.

I'm sure it was a scam, but what do I know.... thoughts?

cool- on the two wins posted above.

She said they never asked for money, and I asked her several times. Things that make you go hmmm. Did I just f-off a million bucks of some type? I guess I'll never know.

It's real unless they ask you to send money. Simple enough.

You should asked for the address to retrieve the prize for clarification/verification.
Since it's Smart, you should have said something like, oh if that's the case, can i go down to one of your Smart office to confirm prior you coming down my house for filming?
