anyone knw abt the company I mentioned above? im in need for an answer

I belived this just came out in Harian Metro yesterday

Malaysia Boleh    

I went to a 'company' at Wisma MCA which I dont know they really registered. I got an interview and I am confirmed to work at the end of the interview.
"Tomorrow will be your first day training! Wear something casual."

The root of thumb is easy. You need job. You need compensation(salary) equaly to what you work for the month. Why you need to pay them the employer instead of they pay them?

Another one I went back then 2 years ago at Wisma UDA beside BB plaza. My dream place to work at. Right at the heart of Golden Triangle. Take bus/LRT can reach there. But it's all shattered. Again a scam. Job title posted in The Star was IT Executive. Tried to ask the job scope and they said I need to attend the interview. As usual went there and they gave me a file which full of newspaper ads. They asked me to choose which ads I saw

I simply point 1 of it. Since already knew it was a scam, I want to see how far they go. Guess what, I waited there for 45 minutes before I can see the interviewer.

I thought only in sport you can see substitution. Interviewer substitute for another one and the second one hired me.

They told me the company background
"We are a 1 billion paid up capital company and just opened their business in Malaysia." Imagine a 1b company hired some lousy English speaker.

My best question to shut them down was

"Where are the computer and server room?" and the reply was "We already order the computer and server room. The supplier will send it tomorrow.

Since when we can order server room from a computer supplier/dealer.

OPS ITS SCAM. GUESS I'M A SUCKER TOO

oh ya, forgot.. also Forex Com. seeks personnel for expansion..

STORY 2
Comp : Regal (affiliated to Cobra) <- what else can u expect from snakes huh? how ironic..

i answered an ad in Jobstreet..
so i got an email, very profesionally done n all..
asking me to come interview at Megan Phileo Promenade or whatsthatplace laa..
so i went.. there were like 15 other ppl there, presumably waiting to be interviewed..
i filled up the forms and waited my turn.. and i was called for an interview with 4 other candidates..
one a 30 something abg.. the other 2 were pretty girls..
the interviewer's a very confident young guy.. early to mid 20s..
spoke abt the company's expanding.. mite even open branch in the Philippines..
who knows, one of you mite become the head there..
yadda yadda yadda he yacks on and on..
then interviewed us.. and at the end of that, asked us..
would u guys be free next week? the girls said, yes..
the abg n i said no.. so the interviewer asked when will u be free?
i asked why? is there a 2nd interview?
the interview went.. "ahah! that's what i was just going to talk abt.."
he said that to be shortlisted, all of us had to go for a 4 days observational test..
meaning, we have to go out to the 'field'.. sell stuff..
and after 4 days(3 days if u're THAT GOOD n lucky, woww, yippee!!   )..
u'll be called for the 2nd interview..
i was like WTF? r u serious?
he was like, yeah..
so i fired back, what abt the 4 days? r we ur staff or what?
he started saying, and this i had no problem remembering..
"well, technically, no....." i was like WTF?????!!!!
so that means, for 4 to 3 days, u basically get free labour..
cos there's no guarantee u'll get the job rite?
and even if u do get the job, is it worth it?
from the look of it, i don't think so..
and i cabut with the interviewer in mid sentence..

I've been there for an interview about two years ago. Around Subang area. Don't know much about them. I applied for some admin job and they wanted me to do sales. I got a feeling it would be something like a door to door salesman. When they told me I got the job, they asked me to wear formal the next day and bring a note pad with me. Thats exactly the same thing those con companies which I used to work for told me when I got the job. So yeah...beware.
Really? I almost wanted to join them. They always have this advertisment saying they're looking for IT graduates and will be paying rm1800 a month. I applied a lot of times but they never called me. Guess I was lucky then.

Same thing here. I find it rather fishy. Their staring salary is way to high. With SPM only for Jobs like clerk and event helper, can get 1300++. Today went for interview, very short only, most of the questions quite weird, salary reduced to 800-1000 and they ask me to go for training tommorow. Look at my form and just repeated what is in it. They also keep stressing on formal waer. 4-5 times already they told me must wear formal wear. Their interview process also weird. First time call for interview, go all the way to fill up a form. Second time today ask few questions only. Then say got final interview and training summore. Which I suppose is tommorow.

oh my gosh.. i'm under manpower too.. i've been working since dec06 and they didn't open up an EPF account for me... when i ask them they tell me there's some problem and ask me to open the account on my own... the last 4 months EPF is credited into Maybank under my IC number according to them...
i dun have the time to go open the acc during lunch time... after looking at this now i'm scared they might cheat my EPF too...

came across this:
