Scam? Oh, terlalu…
Ok, let’s get straight to the point. This morning I faced a “funny” and a little bit annoying incident and it’s all related to technology. How come? Naah..it was not because my database server was down neither was my blog hacked. Just an sms (short message service) poping in my phone saying in Javanese word like this :
Tulung tukune Bpk pulso 20 rb nan nmr anyar Bpk,iki nmre 0878429911xx. saiki, penting. mergo bpk ono mslah, ojo nlpn/sms. mengko bpk seng nelp awakmu.
I am sure you would laugh (if you are not angry) to read such a message. I really don’t know what does it mean even thought at a glance I know this is one of the scams. I showed my wife directly (who is Javanese) but she doesn’t know either of what it means. To be honestly speaking I have received several sms scams like this, but this is the first time I received it in Javanese language. Yup, the first time I received (in bahasa) I was quite shock and worried whether my parents are okay, I rushed to contact them directly and thank GOD they were fine. The second time I received it, I replied by saying “Please, you are not doing anything good here and GOD knows what you do” by hoping that there won’t be the third. But, I guess I was wrong.
Another weird is that I replied to my friend’s tweet and suddenly I got twitted back by someone who is very famous with his word TER-LA-LU. Yess..if you are thinking of a famous Indonesian dangdut singer then you are right. I said to myself “how come I am receiving this”, but to release my curiosity I checked his profile and it seems every time any twitter user says “terlalu” then this “BangHaji” will somehow detect it and replied by saying “Memang sungguh terlalu” . Arrgghhh…what is this?!@#$%
So, having these two annoying things this morning I would say “Oh, TERLALU”, hehe
