"White Van" scam-just to warn other fellow forumer

[So_nice]

3 men vs 1 woman. dunno wat kind of force u can inflict on them.

 

anyway, its reasonable amount of force. example someone comes to u wif a punch u dun use a gun to shoot him

[Topaz]

This is really daylight robbery...perhaps i should jus report to police.... do we have a case here??

[Bicolor]

It's not always a "white" van nowadays. Encountered similar case at Tampines while climbing into the lorry I was driving last year. Very smart of them to position their vehicle blocking the exit of their intended target, but I told them I was returning to HK, could not possibly bring speakers along and didn't want them. They came up with some "you can give to relatives, its free" nonsense, I started the huge lorry and started moving forward, the van zoomed off faster than it came into the carpark

 

They usually only target single people, whom they think are easier to deal with and are more likely to feel pressured to buy.

these white van robber really know how to choose their target.

sometimes i wonder how come i never had the chance to "meet" them in person huh.

maybe i look ("rusty" look and broke too) worst than them and they dare not approach me.

 

 

If they pull such a stunt on me....I will be the violent one and send them to Mandai on a one way ticket...

If he dare swing a punch on me, I will break his neck. Reason = self defense. No trial, and one less garbage on earth + a better & safer place to live in..

They better pray hard they dun bumped into me...they sure suay and regret for life.....won't hesitate to maim them for life..

[Blackseal]

Hmm. It spurs a question in me....

 

Can I ask... By law, what is the maximum amount of injury I (the victim) can inflict on these people while trying to escape from them?

 

I noe for kidnapping (or rape?), the maximum injury which the victim can inflict upon the offender is death. (correct me if I'm wrong, and not sure of the exact phrasing though. Now finding my book )

 

 

You can kill someone legally in the name of self defence....If in doubt can PM me....I'm a half farked lawyer wannabe....

i think you should. BTW, if the no. plate is indeed GW5884, it should end with a D instead of A.

[Pandaeyes]

Wifey was in driving off car when a van stop beside her n a AhBeng in uniform signal her to stop n wind down windscreen, Ah beng ask my wife for help n ask her if she have a moment to spare, wifey come down n they ask her if she can take their goods-some speakers into our car, wife say dun wan but Ah beng say they really can't bring this speaker back to their office or they will be in trouble, They told wifey that these speaker cost $2999 n show her a mag wth the picture of the speaker, wifey say no need but they block her n refuse to let her get back into her car n beg her to help them, n ask for some "beer money" $800... wifey knows something is fishy but as she is all alone n worried that they turn violent, she told them only have $50, they ask if she have ATM card to draw more money, as wifey is rushing for time n these r 3 ah bengs corner her she no choice but relent, she brought the speakers fr them.... it is actually a low-end speaking selling at a mid-range speaker price....

 

In future if any forumer saw this van stop beside u n ask u for help to take their speaker n ask for coffee money, just drive off immediately, don't entertain them...it is a scam!!

 

btw, the van no. is GW 5884 A but the alphabet may be wrong... anyway this van is not white but green/blue colour;

 

May refer to this site for more info...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_van_speaker_scam it is a long time scam but many pple is still fallen for it, n they seem pretty aggressive recently.

 

This happened to me before too. They told me everything in the van's boot is free and they have extra stock of amplifier and speakers so want to GIVE me. I said no thanks. Where got free things one... 2 guys, seemed from Msia, cuz they speak with accent. Long dyed hair... speak chinese.

 

[Turbonetics]

that same old syndicate again.

whenever i see vans with ah beng trying to signal something,i will just shake my hand and look away.

[Turbonetics]

at least 5 years.

usually they hang around town area.

[Turbonetics]

Such scam have been around for nearly 10 years!!!

Can't believe there are people who still got con. This explain why they are still around.

If I am not wrong, this appear at least twice on TV before and it also came out in news cum newspaper.

 

Just get away if any encounter... Unless u want some cheap speakes... My friend bought at only $250 from them 2 years ago... $800 is cut throat price.

 

 

 

maybe they target new driver(P plate) or new car plate.

usually new drivers don't have any encounter with them before.

[Hotamp]

unless these people threatens you into buying their speakers i dont think the law can do much to them. firstly they move around in a van police also difficult to catch them "red handed". secondly it is a case of willing buyer and seller, since there is no "free lunch"in this world, buyer beware loh.

 

i encounter them in town as well as HDB carpark...i simply smile and say i dunno how to appreciate good music, you sell me also no point....they lan lan also.

You should have run their van over with your lorry...that's what I'll do if I were u.....this will teach those farkers a lesson not to be funny.....
