i juz wan to share my experience on this telemarketeers tactics.
Once they called me and straight away ask why i didn't collect my 'prize' at their recent roadshow in bukit jalil! i was like 'what?'.. then they said that i've entered myself on some kind of lucky draw and i've won, i was totally blur since i don even remember entering any lucky draw which requires me to collect the prize (if i've won) at bukit jalil.
so the next thing was they asked me to go to their office somewhere in shah alam. They gave me the address and a reference number and the person whom i suppose to collect my prize from.
When i asked how did i entered this competition, they said that it's automatic since i'm an active user of my credit card. Then when i said i do not own any credit card, then they TWIST the story to bonuslink card!!
After i hanged-up the phone, i figured that this is juz another scam where, if i go to that place, they'll ask me to buy something or to scratch any card and will ask me to pay something in order to redeem the prize.
I didn't go eventually and that person didn't call anymore.
----------------------------------
another experience being called by telemarketeers.
Call and offered a discount card, mentioned has many benefits, but juz tell me 3 of it and straight away ask for my credit card number. When i asked for the other benefits, he said he'll pass me all the information once i register, meaning that after i give him my details and credit card number. When i said i'm not interested, he raised his voice and start to force me to register. I put down the phone...
