AirAsia has asked its customers to be wary of an online lottery scam which purportedly uses the airline’s name to solicit personal data from victims.
The e-mail scam, which has been circulating since 2011, targets Sabahans and would inform the recipients that they had won an exclusive appropriate bonus programme from AirAsia.
It would say that AirAsia had approved a RM300,000 payment to the recipient and would ask the person to contact an individual named JK Allen, through a dodgy e-mail such as [email protected] or [email protected].

Societe Generale will launch a 1 billion ringgit ($300 million) Islamic bond program in Malaysia, two sources familiar with the transaction told Reuters, becoming the second major European bank to issue sukuk and the initial to do so in Asia.
SocGen, France’s second-major listed bank, is planning to issue the initial tranche of the sukuk by the year-end, said one of the sources, who declined to be identified as he was not authorized to speak on the matter.
Western banks looking to raise capital are increasingly drawn to the Islamic bond market as the cost of credit is lower than in conventional markets. The Middle East unit of HSBC Holdings tapped the market in 2011 with a five-year$500 million issuance.
