This time, they have moved their office to:

87-1, Jalan Radin Tengah,
Bandar Baru Sri Petaling, 57000

Right above 7-11. At the shoplots next to The Store.
Hunt them down!

For my case, there were 5 of them (3 chinese males n 1 female including one Indian guy who was able to speak mandarin and canto) distributing the brochures in front of Bkt Bintang monorail station.

While at their office, they wanted me to bring RM7600 (for gov tax if i win the car) so they can write down the serial number for their record as the money will be used to pay them after receiving my prize which will be given to me on the same day. Question is, what is the prize? They refused to reveal the prize until I bring the money. No mattress in the list of prizes this time. replaced with massage chair. I told them it was dangerous to bring so much cash out and they say it was their company's procedure. wtf.

Luckily my fren googled genki kenko scam and found a blog with the exact same scenario.

did i say i got conned? LoL. sry for causing the confusion. I just went to their office to redeem my prize as promised. but after listening to their BS i told them i don't want their free gift anymore. their empty office made me felt even more suspicious. it's ridiculous to pay for the government tax before getting the car.

you can refer to the website below on the scam process. my case was exactly the same as hers:

definitely due to good money. each customer con rm6k. 2 customers per day also can get 12k already. they will constantly change locations and company name.

Saw a whole bunch of teenagers today distributing those flyers nearby the bridge linking to Berjaya Times Square. Sooo....many victims-to-be. Tried to warn a girl that this is a scam by whispering to her ears, the guy rudely shouted at me "Zou kai!!" (get off!) looking as if he wanna pick up a fight. I just walked off. Bad idea to argue with them when u r outnumbered. One of them even ask "为什么你要这样...??" (why u wanna do this??). Gosh...they just don't see what they did is wrong! Argh! It's frustrating to see how many teens willing to take up this job despite knowing the fact that they r conning others hard earned money. If they don feel guilty of what they doing, he wouldn't hv reacted so negatively when I whispered to that girl.

I don blame him for being selfish. In this crazy world, u'll nv know what these scammers might do to u when u stand in the name of justice. Eg: scratch your car, kidnap n gang rape, splash acid etc etc

I really want to help the victims too. But they operate in a big group. Today they hv like 15 of them. They don look well educated at all judging from the way they talk n behave. I'm a lady dressed up in my working attire but they acted like they could beat u up even if u r a lady. worry that they will recognize me n try to harm me for breaking their rice bowl. U'll never know what these rascals might do. Cuz all they do is think bout their own profit n not care bout how pitiful their victims are.

All I could do each time I see them is contact the police n report their whereabouts, though I doubt any actions are taken.

U can save these unsuspecting victims once or twice. Do that more frequently they will recognize u already. I respect you for putting the effort to help those victims...truth is, we can't save everyone.

More should be done by our government to create more awareness. Though news of this scam has been reported countless times, they should nv stop reminding the public. They should make it a big sensation that every soul in the country knows about it thus making it difficult for the scammers to cari makan.
Eg:

1) place more banners and posters around high traffic areas.

2) enforce the law n implement higher fines if caught of misleading ppl into believing they hv a chance of winning something that don't exist.

3) place police in high traffic places especially Berjaya times square n Sg Wang so they won't dare to operate there. These scammers are doing it so openly that it's depressing to see no authorities taking any actions and passer-bys could only watch helplessly.

If anyone from the gov reading this, please take immediate action. Prevent this group of young adults from a bleak future. I'm sure these teens hv been brainwashed by their superior and blinded by the money without knowing the consequences of getting a bad record and fines once caught.

These victims being unaware of this scam, scammers are also unaware of the fines applicable.

KUALA LUMPUR: Setiausaha Kerja Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM), Datuk Nadzim Johan, patah dua jari tangan kanan manakala pekerjanya menerima beberapa jahitan pada bahagian belakang selepas dibelasah sekumpulan 20 lelaki ketika mereka cuba berunding dengan ahli sindiket gores dan menang.

TAHAN…ahli sindiket yang ditahan, semalam.
Dalam kejadian kira-kira jam 10 malam kelmarin di sebuah bangunan rumah kedai di Metro Prima, Kepong di sini, Nadzim dan pekerjanya mendakwa dibelasah lebih 15 minit oleh kumpulan terbabit yang bersenjatakan pedang samurai, pisau, besi dan cota.
Difahamkan, Nadzim dan pekerjanya itu pergi ke premis terbabit bersama seorang warga emas berusia 60-an yang mahu menuntut wang RM6,000 bagi menebus barang kemas mangsa yang digadaikan ahli sindiket itu.
Menurut Nadzim, dia dan pekerjanya pergi ke premis terbabit untuk berunding selain mendapatkan semula wang mangsa.
Saya ke sana bersama mangsa dan dua orang anaknya serta pembantu, namun setibanya di premis itu seorang lelaki berusia 30-an enggan mengaku mengenai kegiatan gores dan menang yang didalanginya lalu mengarah kami pulang.
Kami cuba berlembut dengannya dan suspek mengarahkan kami masuk ke sebuah bilik untuk berunding. Ketika itu suspek memberi amaran dan mengugut mencederakan kami sekiranya tidak meninggalkan premis terbabit dengan segera, katanya ketika ditemui, semalam.
Memandangkan Nadzim bertegas meminta wang itu dipulangkan, suspek menghamburkan kata-kata kesat menghalaunya hingga berlaku pertikaman lidah menyebabkan dia ditumbuk.
Pada masa sama, suspek menjerit memanggil rakannya dipercayai tonto dan datang menyerang kami bersenjatakan pedang samurai, pisau, besi dan cota.
Kami yang dibelasah hanya mampu mempertahankan diri dan berserah kepada nasib kerana pintu premis terbabit dikunci menyebabkan kami gagal melarikan diri, katanya.
Nadzim berkata, dia dan pekerjanya, Afif, 20, dibelasah hampir 15 minit menyebabkan dua jari tangan kanannya patah manakala pekerjanya cedera pada bahagian belakang akibat ditoreh dengan pisau.
Mangsa sempat menghubungi polis. Menyedari ketibaan polis, beberapa ahli sindiket itu melarikan diri membawa senjata yang digunakan, katanya.
Pihak berkuasa tiba kira-kira lima minit kemudian memberkas 10 lelaki termasuk dalang sindiket itu.
Nadzim dan pekerjanya diarahkan membuat laporan di Balai Polis Sentul di sini, untuk membantu siasatan sebelum dikejarkan ke Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), mendapatkan rawatan susulan.

Here u go, it was published a year ago in Berta Harian. Yes, they injured the datuk breaking his two fingers and hurting his 20 year old staff (back injured by knife cut). They were being bashed up for 15 mins. He was trying to help a 60 year old elderly to get back his RM6k. Fortunately the police arrived on time n arrested them all. But they still sustained pretty serious injury.
