Hi guys, please tell me what to do.

Last Tuesday, one of Coway sales representatives contacted me asking me whether I’m interested in their new product since mine is about to expire next year. They sent me their Coway ID and all and i checked their profile through Coway CS that I called, they’re legit.

Then after the paperwork and all, one of the Coway branch ws me telling me to check the details and all and as per request, they told me to take a picture of me holding my IC.

This is what I’m scared of.

What If its not the real Coway and the photo of my me holding my IC be circulating all over scammers and all? What if my name got black listed. Im a freshie, still finding a job.

The only reason i decided to be ok with coway becoz the prev owner of the water filter is my mother, since she passed away last year, im the one had to arrange everything. Im the head of the family now.

Please tell me what to do to prevent me from being black listed and all. Should i make a report to the police? I have also contacted Coway regarding this matter.

Thank you so much, and please be kind

Just cancel coway. Boil water use kettle only.

That’s not how ekyc is done! What Conway thinks of others? Banduan?

If its legit (i really hope it is) im ok with it. But if its the other way round wait till contract ends, wont be using this kind of subscription anymore which really screws my overthinking-ness

Why the heck would Coway ask you to take a photo of yourself holding your Ic?

Only Ah Longs do that..

Since im like the new oner they wanted to verify i guess?

Used to done this before but for other purposes.

Oh my. What can I do now? Should I make a report? Will they entertain me though

Why waste money on Coway? Boil own water or use a microwave to do it.

I sometimes will microwave water for coffee or tea if lazy. Only 3 minutes with a microwave safe cup.

Boiling water over a stove is also easy. Just find a stainless steel kettle. Plenty at household wares shops.

Electric kettle also can but in experience, always kaput.

Their procedure is very unprofessional. This alone you should cancel.

Plus why do people pay installment for water filter... Use a normal Panasonic filter would do. Change own filter every year.

PS I am sorry for your late mother's passing away. May she RIP.

Why .. it's 2024 and still people fall into these debt trap

You may want to Google the danger of heating water with microwave oven. Very dangerous wei.

i wanted to say so but i can't imagine got lazy people boil water using microwave.

Sometimes people are not aware of the risk, as the danger of superheating water is not an easily understood concept.

i believe he will ignore you

this

also subscription water filter itself is a scam

TS most likely kena scam. Because when i google coway the request is otherwise. Only need to scan front ic only.

Espring all the way....

cheaper and more simple DIY.

They has newer massage bed subscription to their previous instalment bed plan.

TOPKEK
Massage Bed | Subscription
Combo overpriced charges

I have just subscribed Coway water filter.
I insisted not to send my photo holding my IC
Then only the office called and did verification thru phone by asking the IC number
So TS no need to send the picture. Insist on this and they will follow your way

just get those 5-600 water dispenser filter with hot water function.
every 6 months just change the filter cartridges.

sorry but coway products to me are for those that cant afford one sump payment.
