You’ve won a prize?

2008-05-27T22:43:00.004+08:00

Anyone of you ever receive a phone call telling you that you’ve won a prize? Someone I know did but I have to keep the identity. It will be embarrassing to let people know that you’ve got cheated, right? People would say, stupid fool!. OK. Let’s call this person James.

Hmm.. couple of months back… James received a phone call from a Chinese lady, talking in China accent. She said that they were doing a lucky draw competition and ask his IC number. He was suspicious at first and asked how she got his phone number. She said she got it randomly. Finally he gave his IC number, thinking that it wouldn’t do any harm. In return, she gave him a lucky number that will be use for the lucky draw.
2 months later, the same lady called again and she told him, he won a prize, 3rd place. And the prize is $50000. Of course, he wouldn’t believe. And he said, this must be a fraud. Then the lady convince him by repeating his lucky number and his IC number.

He still doesn’t believe it.

Next, she said, “Why you don’t want your prize?” It’s true. This is not a fraud. You can check our website. Your lucky number is there. You got to be fast. “ She gave a website but now it is already not found in the internet. The website was done professionally with hotel promotions and spa services. And a result of the lucky draw. Indeed!! The number was there. But then the IC and name of the winner wasn’t there.

If you were him? What would you do? Take your chance or just leave it? Well, James wasn’t convince enough. The lady call again, and gave him the hongkong bank phone number . She gave him a password and an account number, which allows him to check the money existed in the account… just waiting for him to collect. He called. And true enough, the money was there.
Finally he took the chance, and ask the procedure of receiving his prize. That’s is where all the money cheating started. She said he have to bank in $4k for deposit to a particular person and the money will be transfer direct to him the next day. He did whatever she told and waited patiently till the next day. Unfortunately, the lady call again and said she couldn’t bank in the money coz James wasn’t a member of the hotel. He had to pay $7k to be a member.
Then James had a long argument with the lady and finally he knew he got cheated. China lady.. DAMN!What’s happening to the china people. Always take advantage of people. Is it in their blood?

So next time, don’t trust anyone that says you win a prize and demand you to pay cash or deposits. And never bank in your money in any individual bank accounts.
There’s no free lunch in this world.

GET PAID TO READ/CLICK EMAILS?

2007-07-04T10:35:00.000+08:00

Get –paid –to read –emails in short form we call it GPTRE. Is there such a thing? Sounds like money drop from sky, right? Let me tell you, its not money dropping from sky…. Its bird shit dropping direct on your face. You just have to avoid it, man. They are pretty clever to make it attractive cause you don’t have to pay any member fees… unlike those part time home typist.

First, let me tell you how do these “get-paid-to-read-emails” works.
1. You sign/register for the program and they give you an account.
2. You agree to receive “paid emails”.
3. They send you “paid emails”.
4. Your account increase each time you click the emails.
5. When your account reaches an amount, they send you paychecks.

Another way is,
1. Refer/Recommend other people to join the program under your name. I consider these are your downlines.
2. When they click the emails, you earn too.

But why do I categories it as scam? Not only me, many people say that too.
ONE:
You don’t get paid after those thousands of clicking. You can click and read all you want, but at the end of the day you get nothing except for tired fingers. That’s because when its time for you to get paid, they will delete you account with thousands of reason. They will say, “Oh, we suspect you are using some illegal program… bla bla bla”. “Oh, we don’t have a record of your… bla bla bla”. Sometimes they dun give any reason at all. Your account just vaporizes in the air J now you see; now you don’t.

TWO:
They stop sending “paid emails” when your account is almost at the level of getting paid. You were so happy and said to yourself, “Oh my God,!! Another 10 clicks and I’ll get paid. I m so happy.” Pleaseee… stop that. You are not getting anything. They will just stop sending “paid emails” to you. And you don’t get to click another 10 emails anymore… ever again.

I didn’t say that all the Get –paid –to read –emails programs are scam. I said most of it. But even the non-scams program, have some problem. They send you “paid emails’ like once a month. So, even you click each of those emails, you don’t get more than a dollar in a year.

Have you heard of SURF JUNKY?
Claimed to be a SCAM as well. Click here to know the story http://merkey.net/surfjunky/

I believe there are many more scam program out there. Just be more alert, okie?
Peace to you!

SOHO TALENT INTERNATIONAL, Kuala Lumpur, 50670, Malaysia. Are you a victim?

2007-06-25T11:39:00.000+08:00

There are so many people out there, getting cheated by this advertiser from all over the globe. Imagine how much money those advertiser gain everyday. Hundreds? Thousands? Who knows how much, right? And all that money is our hard gain money. Here’s one more scam. You might want to take note of the company’s name too. These complain are from victims and are published on the internet too.

SOHO TALENT INTERNATIONAL, Kuala Lumpur 50670,Malaysia.

This company claimed that they have been establish since 1980 and have over 5k members. They are dealing with management online and offline. I wonder how did they work online since INTERNET WAS INTRODUCED TO MALAYSIA IN DECEMBER 1994!!! (if I'm not mistaken). And if this company is so damn established long ago, why cant we find a single company profile on the internet.
The above Company is FRAUD. FRAUD....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Complaint filed by PCharnley@aol.com
I received an e-mail from this person requesting $100.00 to be mailed or wired to Malaysia. He also gave me an e-mail address of someone who supposedly works for this company to verify legitimacy. Upon further investigation, and several e-mails to other individuals. The person who we are suppose to contact for legitimacy send worms through the e-mail. Another person has never been paid or refunded. There are several sites throughout the web that advertise for the "company", and they are all the same advertisement. Please make sure that no one sends their hard- earned money to these people. I still have all of the e-mails that have been sent to me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Complaint filed by mareebee13@yahoo.com

Placed ads for them, to receive 16 cents per response or same for each ad placed. When time to be paid, always claimed I submitted \"doubles\" or email addresses that were not accurate. They had the actual responses or the actual confirmations of ads placed so hard to prove. At this point I have been trying to collect on $177.60 U.S. for several months. Always tell me each month they are checking on it but nothing ever happens. They are rude and offensive each time and never answer questions directly. I know these guys are scammers. The ads they ask you to place are for typists, clerks, secretaries, supervisors, marketers and managers. They also have ads placed for worlds lowest phone rates, international credit cards, medicinal urine therapy and so forth. I asked if possible for me to hold onto ad placement addresses, date placed, time span for placement, category, etc and for me to submit this info once a month. That would give me a record of where ads placed but they insist I sent confirmation of ad placement only and send daily. They want the whole confirmation so too hard to save all that data. Had to trust them but they proved to be untrustworthy. Never did get to do any secretarial work like I joined for in first place and the sign up fee is $100 U.S.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There are some blogs that are advertising for this company too. So be aware. One of them is http://dataentrypajamas.blogspot.com/

Some other companies which are claimed to be scam as well. Maybe next time I’ll blog about them.
Elegant Promenade (PJ),
Cobra Int(TTDI),Pro Enterprise (Subang Jaya)

IS THERE ANYWAY TO STOP THIS SCAM?

2007-06-08T18:49:00.000+08:00

I’ m not sure of it myself. If you complain to the authorities, they might think it’s a small matter. If you complain to the police, they might ask for solid prove. Then who shall we complain too?!!! Any ideas? I don’t have any.

So, the only way is to spread the news to as much people as possible. Let them know what’s happening. Let them know we are damn angry and piss off.!!! Let them sleep with their eyes open and heart unsettle.!!

You know what….. I know it sounds cruel but they deserve it. Just can’t let those people keep on cheating and sucking the money out of u guys and gals. And recently, these scams are even getting seriously infected on the internet. Some ask fees of RM75, some RM350 and some even RM10. Can you imagine? RM10. They can’t even let us have fun with our 10 bucks. (Ada ke orang macam itu?)

By the way, is there anyone out there still want that e-book? I’ll be happy to share. Just email me and ask, “I WANT THE DAMN E-BOOK”. Hehehe.

The job is mystery shopper where the materials taught you how to earn money by quoting price list from other grocery shop or shopping centre. I did it for few companies already. The legal statement stated there it is absolutely right where i gave you something you pay in return. Thanks

Story ends :x

First and foremost, I would like to clarify that it is illegal as she said "The legal statement stated there it is absolutely right where i gave you something you pay in return".

Because if you become a victim of a work-at-home scheme, you can actually raise a report to the local Consumers Association or state consumer affairs agency, the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs office in your state or The Commercial Crime Unit of your local Police Headquarters. (I know its hard to get a feedback coz they might think its a small matter :X)

Anyhow, if you become a victim of a work-at-home scheme, ask the advertiser for a refund. If they refuse to give you a refund, or if they give you an evasive response, tell them you plan to notify law enforcement officials. Keep careful records of everything you do to recover your money. Document your phone calls, keep copies of all paperwork such as letters and receipts, and record all costs involved, including the time you spend. (Make them scared, even though you dont get your money back. Make their life miserable. WHO KNOWS, MAYBE THE POLICE WILL REALLY GO AND TRACK THEM DOWN!)

Sigh, I know my friend is too naïve. But it is still not fair isn’t? From start to end, my friend don’t even know it’s an e-book. I myself will think it’s a material for you to type and earn money. Or maybe a material to key in data or whatsoever. The advertiser never mention its an e-book. I know nothing can be done do undo those mistakes. But here I am to tell you guys out there. BE CAREFUL. NO FREE LUNCH IN THIS WORLD.

HOW TO KNOW IT'S A JOB OR FRAUD

2007-05-04T08:53:00.000+08:00

There are just too many kind of these advertisements on “working at home, part time jobs”, until you don’t know how to decide whether it’s “bullshitting” or “money dropping from sky” kind of job. Basically there are a few guide lines to know whether it’s a fraud or job. I read it from websites and some are from my “horrible experiences”. “ Makan cili tau pedas”.

RULE1
Real jobs don’t ask fees from you!! They are the ones that are supposed to pay you. If an advertiser asks any material fees, then…. Beware... It’s either an e-book or some sort of start-kit. If you want the start kit, then go ahead and bank the money in. The e-book is going to teach you to put the same advertisement and cheat people money. And hope you meet people like me to blog out your f@#king crime.

RULE2
If the advertiser is unwilling to tell you about the company background, forget about that so called “job” and ask them go to hell. What kind of company that employs a worker without letting them know their background? If got, please email me, I want to be millionaire too.

RULE3
Don’t be a fool! No free lunch in this world (English version). In Chinese, we call it “where got big frogs jumping all over the road”. If got, please again email me. My pocket is empty.

Actually there are a long list o rules but I know what we are concern most. OUR MONEY!!!!!!!!! The feeling of getting cheated is extremely sucks! SO, ATTENTION PLS! RULE1 IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. DON’T BANK IN ANY FEES!!!!.

So, actually it’s pretty easy to know whether it’s a fraud or not. You try to ask the advertiser how to get the job and what company. If they ask money, call them ask from their mother.

One more thing, don’t send in your resume because if you get cheated, you would be afraid to complain. Coz you might get some visiting from potentially dangerous people. Who knows, the advertiser might ask gangster to go your house and kill your dog or scratch your car or even worse…. Visit your mum. Kakakaka.

Dear all, I would really love to share the e-book with you guys. I will email it to those that respond to me. Because responds mean you care. Care of such dirty tactics. I will continue to post blogs on fraud because I hate it. No matter people reads it or not. :P Hehe. I must have offended many advertisers now. Maybe later, I will email this blog to those advertisers too. Kakaka. Let their eyes and mouth open.
Maybe in my future post I will have to copy paste the email from the advertiser that cheated my friend. Hahah, got her emails, her name and account number too. Let her learn a lesson.

PART TIME TYPIST OR SECRET SHOPPER?

2007-04-26T14:27:00.000+08:00

Have you ever seen this advertisement?

Its everywhere in the internet. especially friendster. Just type in "work at home", "part time job"..... and you can see a whole stretch of list.

DON'T BE CHEATED!!! IT'S NOT A "JOB"!

Hahaha!! Initially you thought it was a job, then after you bank in the fees, it comes out to be an e-book. That e-book is going to teach you to become a secret shopper.

What is secret shopper anyway? (",) Survey shops and get paid?

WAHHH!! so easy? Come on guys! Wake up! No free lunch in this world!

Those advertiser earn money by sending you those e-book. But they won't tell you it's an e-book. They just write a big advertisment "HOME TYPIST NEEDED URGENTLY. PLEASE SEND RESUME".

You see. They try to play with their words. Making you to think it's a job. They even add there, "EARN USD300-1000/MONTH".

I don't understand why got such people in this world.... :X
