Scam or Real??

It has been two days since I wrote my blog. Today very special, I wrote it on the morning. The title is "scam or real??" Curious let me tell you some thing. This story involve a company who claim themselves as one of the largest company in Hong Kong by the name of IPO3C. They claim themselves as an electrical and electronic sales company.

Ok this is how it started. One month ago I receive  a call from this company. First of all they will ask you whether you speak mandarin or not. Then if yes they will speak mandarin with you. They will ask you whether you buy electrical good from supermarket or a retail shop. Then they will you that there is an event coming up at KLCC and would like you to attend it. They even gave you a pass serial number which you may enter the hall of the event. Well they gave me a number.

During the day of the event they will keep calling you and ask you whether you will attend it or not. They will even remind you to bring your Identification Card, I/C. This is what happen, like usual no one will attend a phone call invitation which you don't even know the company and no banner of posters pasting on the pillar or what. I mean when it is a big event, the KLCC website will definitely post it, but as long as I can remember, none.

So now the fun part begin. I didn't attend the event the day before and the call me the next day and inform me that I have won 300k HK dollar!! After conversion is about RM150K, now that's a lot of money. Weird ei.. I didn't attend the event and I won the prize, and they know it was me. Something fishy...

At first I was excited and can't wait to receive the price. So they taught me how to take the prize. They said my money is in Hong Kong Hang Seng Bank. They ask me about my personal details and ask me to call Hang Seng Bank to check my amount of money. And oh ya they said I didn't came for the event and didn't receive the prize so they transfer the money back to Hong Kong that particular event day. I was like duh.... Malaysia also got Hang Seng Bank la. Ok, then I call Hang Seng Bank with the telephone number given by IPO3C and surprisingly the banker don't really know how to speak English.. One more fishy thing......

Oh well, I am a multi lingua person, so speak to him with mandarin. And tell me that the money is there but I have to gice about 0.337% of the total money as the handling charge. If you got a calculator count it!! Balls, is 5k my reader..!! How am I suppose to get 5k? I ask them if they can deduct 5k from 300k and give me the rest. They said that cannot be done..

I really not happy with it and wanted to let go of the RM150k, but the IPO3C people keep on calling me. I think to made a lot of money and phone bill is their last concern, and oh ya their phone number is some private number that cannot be saved and called back. Back to the story, they even call me several times with different people. There was this Miss Song, Miss Ooi and blah blah trying to persuade to get the money. I was like Hello is the money is mine I decide to take it or not. They were like desperate wanting me to take to money.. One more fishy point..

Ah Ha here comes why I wrote this blog this morning. They called me again and tell me that my money is still there and repeating the same crap I heard last month. Then they ask whether I want the money or not. Then I say I would like to forfeit the prize. Then they said ok. As long as I remember I told them I was letting go the prize one month ago. Don't these people have better things to do??

This article above is just my personal opinion, no sided of any parties. Please leave your opinion about this article that I have wrote. You can also find about this IPO3C article in some other webpages and blog but in Chinese.
