Super Vexed by Phone scam !

Super Vexed by Phone scam ! WTF! I am actually so vexed that I bothered to make a Police Report at the NPP and "wasted" a good 45mins there!

Number is 68367537.
Address is Regency Tower Level 3.

Google these, I will give u a shortcut on the most interesting ones:
1) How can one have such luck
2) Airplane Tickets and Hotel Scam

This is my post on their entries:

"Hi,
I received the call today. And I made a police report already after googling abt it and found it a scam.


Details as follows:
-Calls himself David from IPG Travel (Tel: 68367537). -Everything is similar to all those mentioned.
-Promised to not be a timeshare sales talk etc.
-Mentioned the 3 free door gifts.
-Has all my personal particulars already - which is scary. -Some mini NATAS travel exhibit also, about 90mins to browse and for him to explain to me.


After I said I'll go down, he asked his supervisor to give speak to me as a verification. Supervisor (which I highly suspect is a bogus, prob a colleague) Melvin spoke to me, also stressed that actually is David's off day, ask him to come back specially for me.

I forewarned David that I am a Self-employed investor(which he actually already have this information), plus formally educated in the Tourism industry. I will read n gather the travel information, dun need him to go thru with me, plus I am in the investment industry - will not take sales gimmicks as investment.

David offered to sms me the full address with postal code, but did not. I tried calling back the number, no answer. Googled the telephone number and "Regency Tower 03-15" and found it's a scam, made police report at nearest NPP.

But since I didnt go down, I have not lost "suffered any losses", the policy will only keep the report for record purposes. DAMN IT! Those who did went down, Please go and make a police report and make sure an investigation is going on! I have had enough of these scams!!! I actually bother to spend 45mins infront of the officer on duty to draft my report, please also do a gd deed and report these pple.

I have a good feel to go down tmr and see the place. Then I can make a proper report again, but I am not free lah!
30 April 2011 - 2pm at Regency Tower Level 3."

WTF! I superb vexed now! This is not the first time I have received a scam call, but I actually wasted 15mins with this David guy. Superb pissed off now. I hope he calls me tmr, I will tell him I have made a police report already.

Apparently, the company's name has been changed many times, same as telephone number.
Legally, they will still give you some small voucher for your time, hence it's not legally binding them and not a scam. But it's time to put an end to this.

Hmm... maybe I should ask the MPs during their GE rally sessions, why the SPF refused to even start investigating into this particular company since complaints has been lodged already. How many lambs need to be slained before the authorities will finally take action....?

Those who experienced something like this, dun sit on it!
You love ones could be the next lamb they slaughter...
