Egging On The Spam

This is the latest scam warning to hit inboxes.

It appeared a few years ago and now it’s back with a vengance:

If you are driving at night and are attacked with eggs, do not operate the wiper and spray any water.

Because eggs mixed with water become milky and block your vision up to 92.5%
Then you are forced to stop at the road side and become a victim of robbers
This is a new technique used by robbers in Johor Bahru.

Please inform your friends and relatives

What you’ve got here is a case of bad research crossed with bad science.

Firstly, no link is given to any media reports of this actually happening.

Secondly, no reference is given to which scientist did the study that proves the visibility of eggs.

Thirdly, Johor Bahru is in Malaysia. Unless an international ring of egg throwing car jackers are making their way across asia, you don’t have much to worry about.

And perhaps most importantly, the whole scam is uncovered on snopes.
