In reply to: Mike Poh 's message, "Jue Shi Marketing Pte. Ltd." on Tue, May 24 2005, 12:26:34

I received a letter with the title “Take a good look at your phone”, and to summarize, the letter is saying that if my phone number matches the number printed, I will get a chance to get more prizes. My first impression is to throw this letter away, as there is no free lunch. But by mistake I casually mentioned it to my wife. And she picked the letter from the bin, and start calling. As usual, the company, in this case Jue Shi for Oriental Travel promise there will be no time-share. And my wife verified the gift, they mentioned the home theater system will be a Sony or Panasonic or DG. Not too bad, but what is DG, I asked. Oh that is a Japanese brand he said. So we fixed the appointment to listen to the sales talk.

And lucky I check the web on “Jue Shi Marketing”. Funny enough when I check the name in google, this web site (http://www.voy.com/161450/) did not show up. It is when I search on MSN, I get a chance to know about this web site. Like most Singaporean, I would not bother to write, but my wife insists so that others will be warned. According to http://www.voy.com/161450/13.html, the “Digital Video Camcorder” is a cheap 0.72 Mega pixel version and costs only A$35 and you will need to pay for S$69 for handling and warranty charges.

We were kind enough to call Jue Shi to cancel our appointment, and I mentioned to the sales guy that they have bad reputation over the net (I did not mentioned the web site), and the sales guy over the phone starts criticizing Singaporean for kiasu and complain king, and go on and on saying don’t waste such a chance to get free gifts. I was so annoyed and ask him to stop and end the conversation.

I am very tempted to write to NATAS and CCD (Commercial Crime Division), but I suppose Jue Shi is clever enough to work in the gray area of law, most of us do not loose any money (sorry for those who signed up), and some even get a small gift for the time wasted. Jue Shi cannot be prosecuted because of the sales techniques. For those who signed up under pressure, Jue Shi can claimed that everything is working under the governance of the contract, which may have been bias toward the Oriental Travel. I am hoping someone can come up with some funding to start a campaign to educate the public on this.

Same thing happened to many singaporeans.

All those guys in that oriental travel office on this day are same past 10 yrs.

God knows how ? in a country where the law forbids this type of nonsense, could these people manage to exist in the market trying and succesfully con people for so long

I also have a letter from them to recieve that cheap 35S$ camcorder wher-in we have to pay S$69 for delivery. And luckily I did not send the S$69 or else like others I also would have lost it forever. Untill now I only lost the 2 hrs time sitting there.

Hope straits time will bring it out to the knowledge of public.
