hey everyone, just wanted to share my experience with them today/ i lost RM30 sad.gif LOL. please brace yourself for my story...

but before i start: YOU BLOODY FLAMERS STOP CRITICIZING PEOPLE WHO WERE SCAMMED AND CALLING THEM STUPID! MANY ARE STILL NOT AWARE OF THIS AND ARE NAIVE. BUT SOME LESSONS ARE LEARNT THE HARD WAY. ARE WE IN THIS TOGETHER TO FIGHT AGAINST THIS SCAMMERS OR ARE WE GONNA JUST LAUGH AT EACH OTHER'S STUPIDITY?

okay, back to my story...my gf and i were approached just opposite the KL Central Monorial station by a bunch of young chinese dudes, there were about 6 of them. they insisted that the both of us sign sort of a "petition / thank you" note.

my gf signed hers, but when i opened mine, it said i won a super gift or something...and that it was either a Toyota Car or a trip to a foreign country..

they told me to follow them to their office at Taman Desa Businees Center, opposite Watson's next to a pan-mee shop. they said if i win, they will get paid RM3000 each, but i have to SCAN the number on my "winning token" to see which prize i won.

there was a language barrier because they spoke Mandarin and I wasn't at all fluent with that language, so my gf acted as a interpreter.

after much thought (and pestering by my gf to follow them), i complied and agreed to follow TWO them. i asked for their I/C and kept it with me just in-case (i think their I/C is fake oso). they agreed to give it to me to win my trust. (I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN DOWN THEIR NUMBERS AND NAMES)

But I remembered that both guys were from Johor and born in 1993. Pitiful souls.

they asked that we go up to their office, but i told them i didnt want and i requested that their "supervisor" to come down to meet at the pan mee store instead. their supervisor was some ah beng.

they told me that if i win a car, they would give me the car but would not cover the 6% GST, of which i have to pay rm7000. then they went on to show me pictures of past "winners" and their cars, some certs and a picture of a "Policeman" winner. they asked for proof that i have rm7000 with me before they would scan the card and show me my prize.

they said that companies do this because they want to avoid taxes and thus they will buy items and give it to the public for free.

they asked that for proof, i should withdraw the money, write down the bloody serial numbers of each note on a piece of paper to show that i have rm7000. i told them i do not have that much money with me now, then one of them said that he'll even PAY for me first, which was quite an act of desperation, but very convincing. but their methods were ridiculous! writing SERIAL NUMBERS OF THE NOTES FOR PROOF!?!?!? WTF???? THEY EVEN SHOWED ME THAT SOMEONE ELSE DID THAT!!  shocking.gif

i asked them if i can show them my bank statement instead, but they said NO. Then i told them, if they didn't want to follow my methods, I am not taking the prize (which I "won").

Their "supervisor" got abit frustrated and said in Canton: "If you don't want to win, don't win la!" and pretended to walk away. This was their threatening technique. and left the 2 guys with me. After awhile he came back down.

We cannot accept this kinda attitude because as "clients" we have every RIGHT to ask questions. As many as we want.  mad.gif

It was quite a heated discussion because i could not understand their language properly and couldn't help my gf when they were talking to her in mandarin. so she had to translate to me and them. because they were conversing with her, they managed to persuade her and in turn she tried to get me to go along saying "why not? let's just try la. we will go to the bank and get the serial numbers. but we dont have to give the money to them wud. so it's still safe"

THANKFULLY, i called a good friend of mine, and he found THIS THREAD! SO THANK YOU LOWYAT.COM USERS FOR SAVING ME AND MY GF!

So, sensing that they could not move me anymore, they began to back down and packed their damn documents. I told them, keep the car, or give it to someone else, and i went away.

the rm30 i lost was for my cab ride to Taman Desa.

hope this will help others in the future. so people, keep asking questions before complying to ANYTHING, and get as much information as you can before submitting to something.

cheers!  thumbup.gif

Guess what? It happened to me awhile ago when I was heading to KL Sentral from the monorail around 7 p.m.
It was from being sweet talked by a young Chinese male teenager for winning the scratch card, going to their office at Taman Desa, meeting the lady and the boss and more sweet talks, giving them the money, to going home with the Jade Mattress and Multifunctional Sewing Machine.
It was then I was waken up to reality by the taxi driver, but I was to stunned to do anything...
Sure, I was skeptical the whole time, but I still got sweet talked and scammed. Now in my room having mix feelings, thinking what to do next.
I want to lodge complain to police and the Tribunal Tuntutan Pengguna Malaysia after doing some internet research...
What a great New Year... cry.gif

Lesson learned...

Edit: I went  to the police... since I got nothing, address, names, phone number, they can't do anything...
