PENIPUAN PERNIAGAAN 'MAT KIOSK'

Latar belakang

Bilangan sebenar mereka yang diperdaya dan ditipu oleh syarikat yang disenarai di Lampiran 1 tidak diketahui, mungkin telah melepasi ribuan kes. Mereka di Lampiran 2 adalah sebahagian dari ribuan mangsa. Kerugian yang mengalami kerugian hampir mencecah RM1,000,000.00.

Kegiatan syarikat-syarikat terbabit menawar berbagai produk beserta insentif menarik termasuk tawaran pakej pemeriksaan kesihatan percuma atau pakej percutian percuma, mula dikesan seawal tahun 2007. Mungkin juga gera-kerja mereka diaktifkan lebih awal dari tarikh ini dalam bentu berbeza, 'time sharing concept' umpamanya.

Kegiatan mereka tidak terhenti terus tetapi diperlahankan buat seketika walaupun pernah digempur oleh pihak berwajib. Penipuan terkini 'Mat kiosks' rancak dipromosikan pada sekitar bulan September 2007.

Dilaporkan kegiatan ini telah menular ke Kuantan dan Johor Bahru. Dijangka ia akan terus berkembang ke lain bandar, sekiranya pihak berwajib tidak bertegas mengambil tindakan ke atas syarikat-syarikat terbabit.

Dikhuatiri kegagalan pihak berwajib bertindak akan menyemarakan kegiatan mereka dan memungkinkan ia terus membarah ke satu tahap tidak dapat dikawal sehingga menjadi satu lagi jenayah besar di Malaysia, di abad ini.

Actually, this business is not a scam. They are the same group that does the AirKu water dispenser business.

I been to their company at Bangsar after some telemarketer calls. I must say I am impress with their business concept but to make money from it, you really need a good location to place the kiosk.

I ask the sales girl whether she got invest in it. At first, she say No. Then say own half with her sister. Then I ask how the income. She cant answer me. So thats it from me.

There are thread over the net whereby some group managed to get refund from their deposit.

its still a scam when they falsify information and mislead the potential investors into beleiving its a viable investment, while hiding other -ve issues (such as vandalisms/slow machine repairs/chances of getting good locations which is not saturated by other competitors).Some managed to get refund ONLY after a "long battle" when complaints are made to the consumer association and follow ups by authority. What happen to the rest? as long as they kept quiet, this company will continue with its unethical business practices.

the origin of the business is not a scam but the people running it... was lol

The way people market the kiosk will decide it's a scam or not.

yesterday we lodged a report to Bank Negara Malaysia. BNM promised to investigate and report to us within a week. They would cooperate with KPDN and police to crack down this company.


FYI,

those who already paid full (43K) meaning these people owned the kiosks are getting only less than RM500.00 per month compared to what originally claimed by company-RM4000-5000 monthly income. So, never make a 2nd thought of coming to their briefing sessions. They would promise a 7 days free hotel stay if you attend the session. all lies...

MAT kiosk is a bullshit same as Airku......when the machine got problem, you have to wait 1 month for the technician to come.....by the meantime, you'll lose money on rental already....

Did u join this company too?

mau kaya jadi kayap....

i nearly join when i followed my friend to their marketing office in Bangsar several months back.....from what I could see, it's a total BS and many AH ate their BS......

Just wondering... how come BNM? I thought this falls under KPDN. But good move though, I think BNM has been a gud avenue for public inquiries over dubious money related schemes...

a lot of "cepat kaya" business nowadays.. just beware... the offer is very tempting to resist..

More company to beware off

Asian World Marketing (M) Sdn Bhd
Simfoni Embun Sdn Bhd
Calan Group of Companies

(3 different registered names but owner of only ONE boutique named Bric's Boutique Nikko Hotel Jalan Ampang, Abdullah Ahmad)

Company which cheat staff salary, no epf, delay appointment letter.

OMG!

Isn't it is the one will make call to u first and ask you to go to attend their course/seminar at their office at Bangsar for what entrepreneur scheme/plan ??? (i cant really remember what's the name of the seminar)

luckily i am not attracted by them...

and Swiss Garden too. I know it's not the same topic we are talking about . but i just feel like sounding out anyway. sorry

In the news today:
50 lose RM1 million to 'Mat Kiosk'; investors cry foul
http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Sun...icle/index_html

don't remember seeing that kiosk before anywhere. those italk card machine got lar.

should change from "mat kiosk" to "mat kiok"

I LOLed.

In Singapore we see this similiar machine everywhere and it's quite successful.

Odd right? but that's what keeps our economy going, people here like to deal with other people, not machines.

the airku water issue was exposed in NTV7's show. I forgot the name but some expose program.

Problems is, you won't make as much as they claim.
Second is, machine always fail and they take long to fix.

Long story short, you won't make profit out of this. Don't bother.

ya. just ignore it at all.

came out in newspaper... thanks for sharing anyhow.

I was so stupid at that time....lost RM500 for the machine deposit. Luckily I did not put more money......

yeah...
it was before u started the dobi rite...

Yeah correct, I had several sleepless nights due to the RM500......how stupid I was at that time.

Thanks for your invaluable info...
