if he can cheat to survive, im sure he do other illegal stuffs like cheating on taxes as well? the family sld be ashamed of his act.

What I've always wondered is who is backing these bengster con-shops, considering there are multiple links behind the scenes.

 

It would be people with an understanding of the laws involving companies and also a supply of bengs to run the shops. I also wonder who owns the shop units at SLS themselves, that might give a clue as to the person/persons behind all of this. I won't be surprised if they were all owned by the same party/parties.

 

I guess the authorities already know all of this, just that there is some understanding in place which might explain why nothing has been done in all these years. Where can people repeatedly con tourists and affect Singapore's image as a tourist destination without cheng hu's knowledge one?

MobileAir is clearly an unethical shop which should be dealt with by the authorities.

Here's the English version of story below:

Vietnamese tourist kneels down and tearfully begs for iPhone 6 refund at Sim Lim Square shop

A Vietnamese tourist was left in tears after a nighmarish ordeal when buying an iPhone 6 for his girlfriend at Mobile Air, a shop in Sim Lim Square.

Mobile Air made headlines recently for refunding a woman $1,010 in coins, which included one-cents and five-cents.

According to a report in Lianhe Zaobao, the Vietnamese tourist was on holiday with his girlfriend in Singapore and after some research, he found out there was ready stock for the phone in Sim Lim Square.

He is reportedly a factory worker with a monthly income of $200 and took months to save up for the phone as his girlfriend's birthday present.

The report states he was quoted $950 for the phone at Mobile Air and he excitedly made payment in cash. Thinking is was safe to shop in Singapore, he did not scrutinize the documents closely.

In addition, he was not fluent in English. When he wanted to leave the shop with the phone, staff members from Mobile Air then asked if he wanted a warranty package of one or two years.

He decided to take the one-year package, thinking it was complimentary.

To his surprise, he was asked to fork out another $1,500 for the one-year warranty package. He was told that he did not pay up, he could not leave with the phone.

Not knowing what to do, he knelt down and tearfully begged for a refund.

He said staff members at Mobile Air laughed at him and no passers-by were willing to help him.

Mobile Air subsequently agreed to refund him $600, but his girlfriend refused to leave the shop $350 poorer. Staff members at the shop also told her they will retract their offer of $600 if she called the police.

However, his girlfriend decided to call the police.

When the police arrived, Mobile Air showed them the signed invoice and offered to refund the couple $70.

CASE officers were called in subsequently and the couple got back a refund of $400. The tourist said he accepted the refund because he had to return to Vietnam in two days and was not sure if CASE could help him get back his full refund back.

 

dai jee tua tiao liao!!!!!!

stir ah stir!!!!

森林商业中心“黑店”风波不断，新加坡旅游局首次援引保护消费者公平交易法令，向高庭申请永久禁制令获准，禁止屡劝不听的一家“黑店”进行不公平交易方式。

另一家在近两星期内涉及数起行销手法不当案件的手机店Mobile Air，昨天再次发生类似交易手法的纠纷。

接二连三的商业纠纷也严重影响森林商业中心的名声，管理理事会昨天更向媒体发出公开求助信，希望任何一个执法单位能前来协助解决森林商业中心内的黑店问题。

Today Straits Times Home news. "Sim Lim Square seeks help to tackle 'Black Sheep" Ridiculous that a retailer refunded 1k as order by small claims tribunal to customer in COINS!

[Hondacub777]

We should send HHH n Roy to deal with them!

[Mercury1]

Don't be too sure, Funan and Sim Lim shops are run by the same group of jokers. in the 90's one particular So*g brothers also damn chao one. You don't much now cause they "cleaned" up their act, but the shops are still run by the same group of Ah Beng's.

 

Now I try to buy from amazon when possible.

 

 

They should just revamp SLS & throw out these shop owners !! There are so many other electronic shops. Funan Centre also got a good range... Not sure about the price. Maybe not the cheapest but at least will not get ripped off.

 

Checkout the negative reviews on trip advisor:

I'm really puzzled at how this story turned out.

 

Ah bengs offer to refund the tourist $600, provided he don't call the police.

 

Police called, and even CASE officers called in ... and with all these enforcers on scene, end up the poor tourist only got $400 back?? I would've expect he got full refund or at least more than the initial $600 offered by the bengs.

 

Where is the logic??

 

Nevertheless, perhaps it's true as one fren told me, that these bengs get into trouble with the law routinely, in-out jail few times before, so they know the law better than lawyer. They know what the police can and cannot do, better than lawyer!

[Sabretan]

Wah lau,

 

I feel really sorry the vietnamese tourist. Police and case white tiger cannot do anything or simply they incompetent leh?

 

cause if vietnamese english no good, contract was signed in english, and since shop ah beng cannot speak vietnamese, under the law, the contract is non binding loh.

 

 

 

sigh.......
