Complaints - CONSUMERS BEWARE OF SCRATCH & WIN TACTICS Print
Wednesday, 03 March 2010 06:42

I was in Pasar Seni LRT station walking towards Petaling Street where the incident happened. A boy approach me to take some paper that he was distributing. It is about a coupon stating "Chinese New Year 2010" where he said that I've won some prize after opening it and I am supposed to go to his company to collect it. The company is in Taman Danau Desa.

 

After I went there and after the explanation, the gimmick was that I was supposed to pay RM 6300 for some kind of government tax before I could get my prize. It was said that I had won 3 electronic goods(electrical stove, filter, foot massage) cost around RM 4700++ and a main prize which will be revealed after I've made the payments. However I do not have that amount of money, so they decided to bargain with me and asking how much I could pay. I've ended up paying RM 3000 in total and the remaining RM 3300 was being paid by the person Mr Yeo as if he was buying off the 3 electronic goods from me(Those products was never given to me at all) and 2 of the Kenko Jade Mattress was given to me.

On my way back after thinking over what happened, I felt I've been cheated. I've searched through the Internet and found out a lot of people have been cheated the same way and everything was a scam. I went to the police station to log my case and I've tried calling him to refund but he said he have to ask his boss on the following day for the refund. So I've called again the next day and he said it could not be refunded.

I tried to bargain to at least give me back RM 1000 as refund but he said that is impossible. So I've decided to log my case here. Attachment is a copy of the police report that I've logged and Attachment 2 is the receipt that I've received from the company.
