To all who read my blog faithfully, this is one post that you shouldn’t ignore,
it might just save your life (and money) from some unknown scam.

Wahaha….~
Fortunately I’ve read a similar account on kennysia.com
if not sure kena scam.

Anyway, the whole incident started on Christmas Eve where I receive an unknown phone call from some unknown company doing some market survey.
Out of courtesy, I did spend some time with them.
After that, the next call was tuesday 20th Feb, 2 months apart from the first call.

This time the lady in the phone told me that they’re having a 促销活动 at Jusco, JB tomorrow.
Ask me to go somemore.

At that point of time, I was just skeptical, but honestly I’ll say that I’m more or less 70% trusting the other side.
Too naive.
anyway, the exact moment i’m typing this, the phone rings, i suspect it’s them again. Arghhh…. didn’t manage to pick up the call.
I was actually thinking of exposing them, speak directly to their face that they’re a scam.
I hope they’ll call again.
Something to entertain myself.
Maybe I could even manage to convince the lady with the China Accent to not to work for that company anymore….
hohoho~
Actually, the last thing before the operator lady put down the phone was to ask me to call some HK number +852-3177 1783.

Anyway, here’re some links regarding this scam,
the company name might change, the person’s name might change,
but the method to scam is still the same.
Check it out~

anyway, they did call back, the latest update regarding this issue is that I’ve spoken to the operator lady directly that they’re a scam.
Wow~ the operator lady was so calm, either she believes in whatever the company is doing or she’s a super good employee, very experienced in handling such situation.
Anyway, I’ve asked her to give me their company website and INDEED, she gave me a chinese name and asked me to just do a search and the website will be up.
After some pestering, she decided to give me the english name of her company.
HAYAT COMPANY LIMITED, in chinese 夏日有限公司。

oh ya, this is a recorded conversation from kennysia on youtube

Oh ya, I on my recording software half way through the conversation with the lady operator just now.
If they’re to call again the next round, i’ll try my best to talk to the lady operator and giving her the benefit of doubt, try to convince her that it’s a scam company that she’s working for.
hahaha.~

Aha~ I know, I’ll ask for her mobile no. and i’ll send her a URL that elaborate on the exact same situation as myself, the one that kena scam gao gao.
Let’s see how.

I wonder they will call me back or not, after I’ve spoke to them directly that they’re a scam company.
huhuhu~

Maybe next round, whoever kena the same phone call, try some smart method~
hohoho~

Just wonder how to report this to the police,
publish it on local newspaper,
let more people know~
