wanna get OGK aeroblade size S? condition

[draught]

Anyway, I wanna share with u guys with e 'white van scam'...this thing i think happen sometime back...but yesterday i dunno how, my bro kena con

I don't know if this is scam or what..but when i search the net for it..seems like a scam..

 

He bought e home theater for 300...from those guy which claimed e price is few Ks...dunno if its too good to be true, he opened the box and found speakers only..no wire, no plug no nothing...only 5 speakers using banana jack (now all speakers come with RCA) but theirs is banana jack...anyway, he wants to try if its working..if not, he say bo pian la..have to sell to karangguni...

If its working, do u guys think its a scam??what should we do abt it?go and report to the police regardless e item working or not?

 

To me, if its working then ok la..but in terms of legal issues?i'm afraid if its stolen goods..but then skali not stolen goods?haha..so how ar?go CASE ar?they have receipts, warranty card summore..

This was in the news more than 1 yr ago....the so called home theater system was selling more ex the other time..the guys kana chopped when he find out online shop oversea that it was very cheap. He went to CASE. due to the fact he didnt buy from shop but from some fella in carpark, so cant do anything...

LL leh no insurance cannot ride/drive..............

The fact that nothing happened is a blessing altogether..

 

I thought all these years my touring experience was enough but I was being complacent. Especially with the condition of my OGK's visor..

 

1840: I departed from my aunt's place in Sungei Buloh near Bukit Subang

 

1920: Reached Seremban RnR Petronas to top up full tank and have a light snack. (The usual curry puff man was there with the hot curry puffs)

Saw lightnings in the south sky but it wasn't raining yet. So I don on my rain pants only(I thought it would be easy to just slap on the raincoat if it rained along the way)

 

2000: Moved off from Seremban RnR and rejoined the highway. It started to drizzle. I was thinking, "Drizzle only lah.. "

 

2030: By this time, without realizing I was already wet to my skin and the droplets became bigger and bigger.. So I was thinking, "Ah, since I'm wet, let it be lah.. carry on till I reach Pagoh RnR."

By this time, my OGK visor already fogged up but since the rain wasn't that heavy, I could still see through it. I even opened the visor a little to let air in hopefully to clear the visor.

 

2035: As if in a sudden climate change, the raindrops suddenly became huge patters of enormous droplets of water hitting my visor with tremendous impact, blinding me with every drop. At this point I was on the right lane travelling abt 120km/h. The only thing I can see through my visor were two little red dots of the Msian SUV that was like only 1.5 car length in front of me.

 

I shifted to the left lane and slowed down to 100km/h. I looked through my visor. It was not total darkness, but it was super blur till I felt I was riding blind.

 

I regained vision of the road only when I lifted my visor up but the huge droplets of rain caused pain to my cheeks, nose bridge and eyes. I thanked god at least I have glasses to protect my eyeballs. But even with the visor up, not only the pain is excruciating, the frequency of the rain droplets hitting my eyes were so fast coming that my eyes were half closed most of the time.

 

I dare not slow down nor stop at the side as this part was a quite a narrow road and I passed by many heavy vehicles before and I am afraid they might not see my bike and just plough through. So I maintained at 100km/h but after 30 seconds, I closed back the visor as the pain was too much.

 

The Msian suv was still in front of me but it was on the right lane. So I switched back to the right lane so that at least I can see the tail light and follow. But he was going faster and faster.. in the end I still ended up alone and riding blind. I can't even make out if the road was straight or was it a bend.

 

I dunnoe why but at that point of time, terror grips me asking myself a lot of questions, "What if there is a truck in front with no tail lights? What if the road was bending but I was going straight? There was no end to my what ifs.. And it certainly doesn't help that my Mp3 was playing Boyz2men's Hard To Say Goodbye (Sounded like those the church people would sing at a black person's funeral..)

 

The more I think, the higher my heart rate was going and the hotter it is in my helmet. And the visor got foggier and foggier. So I took a chance and opened my visor again. This time round, endured the pain of the raindrops, shouting all the way to displace the pain.

 

At least I can see the road despite the pain. And then as if struck with a dash of good fortune, I saw the sign.. "Perhentian Sebelah Bukit Betong" aka Bukit Betong Rest Stop - 1km.

 

Immediately I shot up to 140km/h and reached the rest stop and took shelter there.

 

2045: Removed my armoured jacket and my tshirt was all soaked, so just took it off and squeezed out all the water.. This was the first time I felt this way when riding in the rain.. As I sat in wait under the shelter, I began to recollect myself and waited for the heavy rain to subside..

 

Although nothing happened but a lot could happen while travelling at 100km/h in the blind. I felt a sense of claustrophobia in the OGK for the first time and really prayed that nothing would be in front of me and nothing would push me from behind..

 

I think I may need to get a better helmet next time before I go for a ride up..

 

I still have chills whenever I think abt that span of few minutes..

 

Just to share..

Anyway, I wanna share with u guys with e 'white van scam'...this thing i think happen sometime back...but yesterday i dunno how, my bro kena con

I don't know if this is scam or what..but when i search the net for it..seems like a scam..

 

He bought e home theater for 300...from those guy which claimed e price is few Ks...dunno if its too good to be true, he opened the box and found speakers only..no wire, no plug no nothing...only 5 speakers using banana jack (now all speakers come with RCA) but theirs is banana jack...anyway, he wants to try if its working..if not, he say bo pian la..have to sell to karangguni...

If its working, do u guys think its a scam??what should we do abt it?go and report to the police regardless e item working or not?

 

To me, if its working then ok la..but in terms of legal issues?i'm afraid if its stolen goods..but then skali not stolen goods?haha..so how ar?go CASE ar?they have receipts, warranty card summore..

 

juz to ask, is it 2 guys wearing same polo tee trying to sell it to ur bro ??

say they dont wan to return the theater set to their boss, if return to their boss, will get nothing in return, so as well sell it to you cheap cheap.

they tried to sell me the theater once when i was at the north point carpark, than dont know heng or suay, they tried to sell it to me again when i am around my house carpark again .....

They so many set to sell meh ...

 

I dont know leh..but my bro told me, two guys, like ahbeng type, one of them wear cap driving white van..yup, e story he told me exactly like urs..if they return to their boss they got nothing..i even read from e net, most of the stories are the same!!

 

my bro called the company for the home theater and yes, they sell it for 3k+..so he thought worth it..anyway, e invoice given stated e address, just few lvls below my workplace..i think i wanna pay them a visit later..hehe..and the warranty card has address near BW..so i thought of going there too tomorrow or today..

 

I'm afraid this is new selling tactic..its like they sell half of the product, so buyer need to buy another half..so buyer would go to them and buy the other half..and perhaps e other half will cost more or what la..I dunno la..i just thought that could be also...if everything is true..i mean, not stolen goods, not scam not con..but dunno la how true is e true..but to me its like a scam..

 

one my 'bro' kena same at golden mile car park. same story 2 half fak bengs in van push some sound system to him. very hard sell. he bought with cash. he oso dunno y he bought it. i met him 1/2days after.

 

after tat he din want it and din know wat to do. he called they give soem excuse no refunds. they will actually pick up the line (fixed or mobile). first of course quite polite then become nasty BUT will still pick up your call.

 

so i fed up call. demand refund. pushed ard to a few ppl. den go down the office. trust me its a small storeroom. mostly not manned. its like a small mass in there.

 

going to cut short. so in the end after a lot of calls and threats and even more threats they agreed to refund i think like 60-70% or something like tat of the amount. it was a round number.

 

police will make report and will ensure more patrols. PERIOD

 

CASE... wat case you bought it for a moving van in a carpark.

 

note most of the items they sell are found in like cheapo stalls soem even at sim lim... brands are known not well but their pricing a bit higher... mosst of the items work but u just wun feel right. if u wan go down their office u dun have to be so polite.

 

good luck

This white van scam had been around for years, recently then it's been reported in the papers. Very common in sgp.. especially around Sim Lim Square carpark.. I personally encountered it twice over there le.. Tried to sell me some unknown 'highend' brand speakers at 'friend friend price'. Saying that it retail at $1000+ and the same thing as u had mentioned.. Asked for $300. Then i tell them.. i only got $50. Take it or leave it. Heng they nv take it

 

I think other countries also had this scam..

White Van Scam

 

Under sgp law, i dont think they can do anything to them cos it's considered a sales technique. U paid the $$ and had received the goods so technically it's not a scam.

[Bluesky]

10k ah...no problem..later i ask my secretary to issue a cheque to u...payee name i put wat ah?DReaming kovin?

 

Talk so much... Where is my 24K gold plated GTR with bling bling diamonds?
