**Did You Know**
Ex-president George Bush Sr and Jr are also a pilots.
I got this article from somewhere which is quite worth reading it. But I'm not sure about the accuracy of the info. So just be aware instead of being sorry. Have fun. Super busy now. Bye.
1. The Cafe Scams - Island Red Cafe & Stevens Corner
(strange, both in Pandan Indah) - Island Red Cafe collects members
RM6,000 each and promised 5% return every month and even give
you a name in the ROC as a shareholder but what*s the point when they
run away? Stevens Corner, the famous indian coffee
shop follows due to drop of business since their renovation. They
collect RM3,000 per member and promise return of RM150 monthly and
plans to open nice fanchisee cafe called StevensTeaGarden. Someone
mentioned they will make you sign an agreement that give them the
rights NOT to pay you anything in future. If you really wish to join,
ask for a copy of their agreement and consult your lawyer BEFORE paying
them. Bet you will NOT get a copy. Both collect monies from new members
with MLM recruitment schemes and pay the old members like Sunshine
Empire. You never know when they will run away.
2. Sunshine Empire
This licensed and legal Company has an impressive office at the ground
level of KUB building along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, near Menara Public Bank
and AmBank Building . They also have a showroom office at the ground
level in the next building. 3 or 4 months ago, Singapore*s
Straits Times and The Paper published big news reminding their people
to be careful and NOT to believe in them. Hope someone can put up the
link or google for it.(As expected, they STOPPED paying back members
now and all investors LOST their money). Someone below has put a link to
the Singapore news. In fact there are more to it. Although Singapore is
investigating them, they did not stop their business as the business is
legal and so far, no Singaporean have failed to receive their
commissions as promised. Thus, the government cannot stop them yet. The
news published that the founder, director and group president is someone
named James Phang but he is NOT the owner. Isn*t this quite strange ?
At the end of the game, James Phang can just disappear from the Company
easily and claimed that he was just *employed*. Such trick always
happened in scam businesses. Now, the Company has STOPPED paying
commissions and interests to members with the excuse that the Singapore
government has freezed their bank account while under investigation. Do
you think their boss will be so stupid to keep much monies in the bank
to be freezed? They are all transfered away. It*s just an excuses not
to > pay back to members and members are only paid *e-bonus-points*
which is cashless. If they wish to convert to cash, they have to recruit
new members to pay them cash and the recruiter less out trom the amount.
So victims act like Vampires and *forced* to victimise other victims
if they wish to get their monies back. And their victims will later
transform to vampires and the scam carries on*..
3. MobilWallet
This Company owned by 2 young men, Stanley & Rey Gan, office in Queens
Avenue Park has collect multi-millions the last 2 years.
Claimed that they tied up with Telekoms, Utility Board payment like
Water & Electricity bills, even Maybank got fooled by them.
Advertisement Billboards everywhere. They STOPPED paying back their
members few months ago and the members cannot do anything because they
are made to sign an agreement unaware that they have to claims if the
company stopped paying them by CHANGING terms and policies.
4. Water Business - Oxygenated and Alkaline Water Products
Some of these are bottled water and some are filters or equipment that
claimed the trick..One of the better known Company that sold
*oxygen* water is SITO (supposed to stand for Selangor
International Trading Organiszation and claimed Selangor State
Government owned some share in
it). The key person and founder is a Dato Robert Ong from Rawang but
his name is no longer in the business now. Their products are sold for
RM2 to RM3 for a 350ml bottle and now concentrating mostly in the
Indian market. Their Chinese and Malays market are long gone since a
year or 2 ago. Their customers are made to believe that their water has
more oxygen and able to give miraculous effects for the body. Water is
H2O, how to put more O into it ? Anyone knows how much oxygen do we
breathe into our body everyday at FOC ? Latest news is that this SITO
Company is going to create new label to market under a new Company
since the SITO name has already gone bad. Someone informed that this
Company is owing alot of money(due to refunds) to ex-stockists but just
refuse to pay them. (Latest news, SITO shifted to another place and
their MLM business has closed but planning to start again with a
different name, beware!!)
Alkaline Products - Can anyone explain how it can work for the body ?
The stomach*s gastric liquid is so acidic that water of any pH that
goes through it will not make any difference.
5. Car Fuel Booster - K-Link
K-Link, the famous scam MLM Company that sold the footpatch TAKARA,
later the *cock-ring* and energy-card launched the patrol-saving
pills last year. Got so hot that even grocery shops are selling for
them. Recently many of these cars that used the pills are rushing to the
workshops to clean the residual. Few months ago, another MLM Company
launched a fuel booster gadget, claimed that saves up to 20% fuel, that
is attached to the
cigarette lighter. Started off well using binary plan but businese
begin to fade now and most users find it NOT effective.
6. Perfumery Products
(eg. Lampe Berger & Bel Air)(more details later). Lampe Berger is not
so hot now in the neighbouring countries but there are still new
victims every month in Malaysia . Must thanks to those who have
contributed and kept the thread alive and Kopitiam. Bel-Air have
closed in Malaysia . LB is almost zero in Singapore . This perfumery
product from France with over 100 years history is just bottles and
fragrance (check the factory*s website) but the Company marketing them
in Asia claimed *aromatheraphy* products. Hong Kong TVB aired a
program that exposed their scam but their members claimed that HK*s
TVB already apologised to them. Note that the biggest strenght in a MLM
Scam is their members will go all way out to lie in order to defend for
their Company. The reason is simple; these members fear that they will
not be able to make their money back if the Company collapsed. Knowing
that the Lampe Berger products are moving slow, they add a line of
skincare products named Estebel, also claime to have over 100 years
history in France. (Hardly anymore Chinese newcomers, they are now
tapping the Malays in Malaysia.)
7. Energy Products
(eg. stone pendants, bracelets, mattress and pillows). They use all
sorts of gimmicks and demonstration to make you into believing
them. They will do some tricks and demo to prove that these products
really produce energy BUT is there any tricks in their demo? So what if
there really produce energy; is it good or strong enough to help the
body? The effect is actually PLACEBO which I will elaborate in a new
thread soon. (More details later.)
8. Hi-Tech Products
Names like bio-tech, nano-tech that claimed millions of dollars of
research involved, eg Bio-Young and XKL few years ago. Most of these
will claimed a professor behind them (even with name and picture of a
person) or used words like *U.S.A. formula*, *German Technology*
or *Nanotechnology* and no further details (more details later). If
you ask for more details like the professor or factory*s address, the
answer will be *trade secrets*.
9. Investment Schemes
SWISSCASH is the King of all. Swisscash is nearly over now but there
are many similar and smaller ones that are still on. (Now, it*s closed
or stopped paying back members.)
10. GoldQuest
This Company that claimed to be HK-based started with some non-value
gold-plated coins that are sold for over RM2,000 have several
names and changed products several times. QuestVacation, QuestNet, etc.
They have several offices in Amcorp Mall, PJ and their key person (in
fact, the owner), a Malaysian Indian was arrested last year in Indonesia
for having involved in a very big Phillipines scam. Most of their
overseas offices are closed or inactive but their Malaysia business is
still hot, with some *energy* products. (Can someone please provide
a link which showed the news that their boss was involved in a big scam
in Philippines and was arrested in last year?)
11. Numerogy & Fortune Telling
A Company named Visiber is using MLM to sell fortune telling classes
using your birthday based on numerology fortune telling.
Prpspects will be told that they need to buy a certain *number*
between 1 to 9 in the form of pendants or bracelets made of stainless
steel and sold from RM600 to RM20,000. Customers, or rather victims are
mostly females from rural areas. Very hot in Penang now and a number of
spin-off Companies have started.
12. MJ - Life
MJ-Life - This Company boost of a very big background with many many
years of history which is NOT true. Their people or associates may
be long in business but nothing to do with their MLM launched recently.
Why do I consider it a scam or bad? New members are told to pay a sum
of money (up to RM1000) and you get NOTHING for it. You only get a
membership can entitle you to enjoy all sorts of special price and
discounts when you have medical check-ups in their centres.. They will
claim all those check-ups cost more if done elsewhere. It*s
not true. Only the naive and those new to medical check-ups will fall
victims to them. Most members who paid the money ended up with nothing.
13. Seaweed Venture Scams
1 such Company is located in Taman Maluri, Cheras. They will ask you to
invest a few thousands ringgits for their venture of growing seaweeds in
East Malaysia and you are guaranteed returns. To gain your confidence
further, they will tell you your investment money is secured by
*insurance* or *unit trusts* & *trustees*. When you ask
for further documents to prove, they will give all sorts of excuses or
just ignore you because they know they cannot get you. These Seaweed
scam is one of the hottest now, warn all your friends about it before
they are victimised.
14. MXM (Previously MGM)
This is a master scam among the younger group, very successful 2 or 3
years ago but since there moved to their big 10-storey office at
Phileo Damansara and changed name to MXM, their business dropped. They
collect members RM3,000 to RM4,000 with credit card monthly easy
payment and in return you get a hospital benefits insurance from
Pacific Insurance worth only a few hundred RMs together with some
you-don*t-need medical check-ups from their associate Company
Pathlab. Also talk about fitness, lifestyles bullshit that is all
worthless.
15. Gano Excel
This company from the north, a copycat of DXN selling Lingzhi capsules
created a new Company called Gano iTouch to cash-in on the
internet like e-Cosway after their Company went down the drain since
the last 2 years, selling Linzhi and some no-value energy pendants and
alkaline water gadgets. They provide free transport every weekend from
KL to visit their Alor Star office.
16. NuLife (HK)
This Company started by some HK people has been in Malaysia for more
than 10 years but they have flopped in HK and Malaysia due to bad
management and a product scam making use of a prosecuted American named
Dr Jeffrey Bland, found guilty of false products claim. Since this case
in the US leaked out and many Malaysians found out that the real boss
in HK is a Steven Tang (he cheated many Malaysians in another scheme
about 20 years ago) their business went down all the way. Now they
claim Malaysian partners cheated them and start a new Company in
Malaysia . Watch out, this new Company will come out with some
investment scheme idea that will get many to lose their money.
17. Arowana Fish Breeding
Oora from Germany , Biofuel (Kompleks Maluri) etc - These are some
newer scams. Arowana fish venture ask you to invest some money and give
you fixed return. Biofuel will tell you their Indonesia connections
(just like Sunshine Empire before using Taiwan) & Oora from Germany(I
never trust those cruel Germans) that market some bio-chips and a gadget
that claims to give energy and therapeutic effects of accupunture,
tai-chi, yoga, etc depending how you set the toy-like gadget, wear it on
your body and you get the effect later. They could not explain or
provide any demonstration to prove their effectiveness. Only doctors and
papers claim that I will never trust. The health effect is actually
PLACEBO, which I will elaborate in a
different thread.
