A fool and her money are soon parted.
A fool is born every minute.
Hidup the Saleman.

'All the while, the sales assistant had an innocent face, and was helpful and appeared sincere,' she said.

Pro con face. Singaporean is so easy to pursue.

this is when education to the public is not adequate. and i thought PSP is launched in sg officially? meaning they surely have advertisement stating the price of the unit?

haih..

Lucky Plaza: A sub standard shopping mall in Orchard Road full of conmens, conmens and more conmens. Oh, and also, lots of pinoys loitering about during the weekends. LOL

auntie go buy hardware, sure kena con lah.

she is a sales assistant herself, and she dont know salesman tactic?
pfftt

The pinoy there not nice

Anyways thats a Singaporean for you folks. Aint so smart afterall right

I hate the fact that her friend said she was stupid. Not everyone really knows the partakings of this world wholly.

how come the software more expensive than PSP
her friend shouldn't call her "stupid"..
they should help her solve this problem and smash that conman seller...

yeah i agree her friends shouldnt be even dissing her....some friends....

Looks like this news also reach Kotaku:-

Businessman point of view:
Wow ..can i hired the salesman..damn man..he's good
he can make me rich...


Customers point of view:
sorry to say but ...yah i agree with other the woman is stupid...just walk away lah..still stand there and wait..
customer always right even though u r stupid one.

To me, the funny thing about this news is that customers hav to pay for licensing fees.... What's it gotta do with that if u play pirated games??? If pirated games are licensed, then it's not called pirated la....

luckily she din pay for SGD3553 lol.

Like i said, nobody noes everything in this world. Don't blame the lady, she might be afraid of her life since u don't know what others can do to u.

Honestly, there are lots of cases where people get beat up because the deal is not finalized and stuff. I almost got mine when my cousin brother wanted to buy the phone, but luckily we slipped away.

This statement is so true.... Sad to say, the world is a cruel place....

and THANKS to the salesman..

maybe she'll hate the gaming industries... by fearing to buy another consoles..

but why her daughter friend didn't came along to help survey a PSP...
well might help also being con by a salesman..?

Yeah I was in Singapore browsing the games shops in Lucky Plaza or what other plaza, the stuff they sell there are generally more expensive than what can be found at general retail stores like HMV and Best Denki, even after bargaining.Totally opposite from the situation in Malaysia, except that they both have a lot of conmen running the shops

It is sad that her friends called her stupid. Thats kinda like the last thing a friend should do.

Anyway, she should have insisted not to pay and that the shop can bring it up to the authorities.

When other shops are selling at SG$300-600, unless he put a nuclear reactor in there, it won't jack up the bill so much. She is not stupid but she could have used common sense a lil bit more here.
