inBOIL

The company seems legit, so if you can confirm this offer with someone from the company other than Azim it seems unlikely that you'll find yourself in someone's harem. Try to find other contacts at the company and verify with them that the position exists and what it entails. I must admit, the benefits package seem too good to be true, especially the part about 1 day vacation for every 9 working days (though I hear that vacation time is a lot more generous outside the U.S.)

If you can confirm the legitimacy of the offer, I'd say your only concerns are monetary. If you can afford a flight back to S. Africa, why not try the job and see if you like it? Worst case scenario, you get a subsidized trip to Malaysia and have an interesting experience. There's no reason you can't quit later.

edit: Find a phone that you can make international calls from and try the number he gave you (or any other numbers you can find.) The hassle and expense are justified, given your situation.
