Scam!!

Kind of piss-off people nowadays using cheating way to get customers. If you are realle clever enough, use proper way to gain customer la. I will admire you if you do so.

Alright. What i'm piss-off was i can say i've fallen into a trap. Last Saturday i was shopping with my colleague to buy our friend birthday gift. As we walk to the stage of the Dataran Pahlawan, we saw a Company banner which stating a very attractive travelling package. At first thought, i thought is selling cheap travelling packages. But as we walk nearer, the salesman saw us. And ask whether want to listen their introduction about that. Well, is no harm listening isn't it? So, we sat down.

So, what is this travelling package about. They actually selling their company travelling membership card which is call Tune Card. They even told us that they are the agent of the Tune Group (Air Asia). Which means they indirectly telling us that they are agent from Air Asia isn't it?. We heard about Tune Money and Tune Prepaid Card. And that is all from Air Asia. So, we thought that was one of the Air Asia travelling card. They even told us that is only limited to 150 people. The logo was really look alike with the Tune Group. So, without suspiciously, we do believe at that moment the card promotion is from Air Asia.

Ok. Let me tell you how the membership card works. Actually they got 3 type of membership. First, RM389 which is normally for student. This RM389 membership cannot accumulate points. Which mean when u use the card to book flight ticket or any travelling package, your spending can't accumulate any points. Second, RM689 which you can accumulated points aka VIP card. For this RM689 card, your spending of RM1 by using the card, u'll get 1 point.

Alright. Now, how about their travelling package? It was really attractive i can tell u. They have variety of domestic and international travelling packages. Eg, Pulau Langkawi, the banner there they will written RM 285/-pax. If 2 person is going for that places, therefore the amount is RM570. But wait, wait wait!! They will still deduct 25% discount for u from the RM570 a mount. Means now u only pay for RM375. I thought that amount is only for the hotel. But no, my dear friends. They include return flight,accomodation and transport. It was damn attracting isn't it? But u only can enjoy those attracting after u make ur full payment on the membership card.

So, how does the payment of the membership card? U can pay any amount as u like. Either u can finish up within 6, 12 or 24 months. But it must finish before 24 months. Sounds good isn't it? So, me and my cgue bought one. At first they asking whether we have any credit card? Of cos we wont give them even if we have. So we only given RM100 as a deposit. They ask us to call him when we start our payment. Weird right? Since he said can make any payment as we like, why should we call him then?

After went home, i don't feel good. I feel someting weird about this travelling package. After few days later, i search online. Then i realise, it was a scam company. They already cheat lot of public. Lot of complain is around forum and some of them told that they even report police. But police only told them they can't do anything. Ask to find don't know which government bodies. They only know how to play tai chi. Push that person here and there, in the end, no one want to take action on this Company.

That person even wrote this. " Dari apa saya yang terima patutlah orang ramai kurang percaya kepada kerajaan yang mengatakan Rakyat Didahulukan Pencapaian Diutamakan." Sources from

Some how i feel that so. Cos lot of public had complain about this company yet no one want to take any action on them. If no action, it will be lot more of public being cheated by them. Although they didn't force us to buy, but they mislead us by saying there are the agent from Tune Group which is Air Asia. This is good enough reason to sue them.

Though, i paid only RM100. I treated as i buy a lesson. This teach me,

"There is no free lunch in this world"

Maye
