so I just got out from shopping complex at PKNS Bangi. I got to my car, then this guy came to me. He is a chinese wearing neat attire, in shirts and long pants. He gave me this pamphlet saying it is a discount voucher that can be redeem in any shopping outlet.
It is sealed, and you have to open it to see how much discount you can get. Discount can be 50%, 70% based on the color inside the pamphlet. It can also just be a 'Thank You' text as he showed me one that was opened earlier by someone else.
The pamphlet is yellow color with picture of 2 old couple with the text 'Mother's and Father's day' .. or something similar. The guy claimed this is a promo stunt by Genki to promote its product, and it is giving away discounts during Mother's day.
So I just opened it and there was a sticker inside. I opened the sticker and it showed Silver colour. The guy act surprise like its the first time ever happened to him. Then he exclaimed this is a very special colour. I will be eligible to win special gift which can amount to RM4000 or I can even win a car!
Then he said I would need to do some acting for commercial where I won the product and say 'Genki Bagus', or something. I would need to stick some stickers to my car. And he goes on and on how he will need to inform his supervisor to come over and explain things to me.
I just got bored and think the whole thing seemed like a gimmick to scam. The pamphlet doesn't have any detail about shopping discount or any mention of what prize you can win. Smell too much like a scam, and I just say no and left.
So guys, do you think this is a scam? Anyone ever experience anything like this?
Help, is this a scam?, Mother's day gift scam
