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 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... vmad.gif

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....

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... wink.gif

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.
