Showster Twincharged February 25, 2016 Share February 25, 2016 Greed is not the main problem here I feel. The problem is lack of careful consideration of pros and cons and risk analysis. One of my relatives tried to sell me something similar. I declined based on the risk assessment. On a separate occasion, I was also given a cold call and invited to this HQ of Tropical Forestry Venture in Sago Street. I went there initially with the intention to donate for conservation purposes, but I smelled a scam based on the way they allocated rooms to potential buyers and left immediately. Plant life are not so easy to predict and sell as factory products, I would rather buy a plantation somewhere. Greed Yeah, fixed D returns are marvellous now. Such a strange scam, hope pple stop believing in money growing from such investmentsKeep money as savings in the bank is better ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinobii Hypersonic February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 Job Scam 'Sugar Mummy' Scam Scammers are putting up online job ads seeking male social escorts. When victims respond, they are told that they would be paired up with rich female clients after paying a one-time registration fee. After making the payment, victims would be told to pay other fees such as insurance and membership. The agent then disappears with the money! To avoid becoming a victim of this scam: Ignore job advertisements of a dubious nature Be wary of job offers that promise high returns for very little effort Do not make payment or transfer money to any stranger whom you have not met before Contact the Police if you are a victim http://scamalert.sg/scams/job-scam.html 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnoob Supercharged February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 Finding "Sugar-daddy" has always been easier than 'sugar-mummy' in Asia... If in the west, I think it would be a very successful biz model 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showster Twincharged February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 Reception and waiting area. Salespeople dressed in smart formal wear will invite individuals into rooms for individual talk and presentation. Dark, posh rooms that smell great. Waiting area and separated sessions. Got to queue for your turn. I was thinking for sure will have a mind-psycho selling session. Donation drives usually are very open, with mass presentation and donation out of good will (like TV shows), open booths this type.

Showster Twincharged February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 They said something about Environmental stuff and based on some posters I read here and there, seemed to be about sustainable conservation with a profitable end in mind. Now it's clearer that they were actually "selling" valuable trees and saplings. But alarm bells kept ringing in my mind about the format and way of delivery. I registered, sat at the waiting area for 5 minutes, then siam. There were very many pairs of shoes outside the venue - many must have listened to their sales talks. Ah.

They can just put many shoes there or their own people. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showster Twincharged February 26, 2016 Share February 26, 2016 (edited) True also. But there were many levels in what seemed like a shophouse. And many people in each level. People ushered here and there as well. One other anomaly was I found it hard to believe so many people were there for conservation reason so that setup kind of backfired on me.

This guy tio scammed, at 1st it seems normal with 7.50 charged to his credit card, but who knows, the subsequent days lead to his bank account lesser by 5k because of the credit card information with the con man.
