Scratch and win scam
Scratch and win scam
A Singaporean who was shopping at the Johor Baru City Square lost RM 7,500 in a scratch and win scam.
The victim, Loh Kum Fai, 53, said a saleswoman had approached him and offered a coupon while he was walking along the pedestrian bridge from Custom & Immigration Quarantine Complex (CIQ) to the mall early this month.
“I was told to tear open a coupon given to me and upon opening it, she shouted that I had won a special prize,” he said at a press conference organised by Johor Baru MCA Youth chief Kua Song Tuck.
Loh added that he took a taxi with the salesgirl to the company’s office in Taman Molek and was told to pay a total of RM7,500 in fees before he could claim the prizes.
Among the items that he had won were a Jade Mattress, an electric stove and a leg massager machine.
Loh said that after a few weeks, he only received the mattress, which was delivered to his house in Singapore and has yet to receive the rest of the prizes despite several visits to the office and lodged a police report against the scratch and win company.
In an unrelated case, a factory worker employed in Singapore was also cheated in a similar scam last month.
The victim, Siew Kim Hong, 52, said she was approached by a salesman near City Square.
“I followed the man to his office located in Taman Molek and I was greeted by his supervisor who claimed to be an ‘Eric Tiong’.
“Tiong told me to pay RM7,600 in order to see the prizes I have won,” she said.
Siew added that she forked out the money and was told she had won a Jade Mattress, electric stove and a foot massager.
After few weeks, she went to the office to collect her prizes but she was told that the company has no employee by the name of ‘Eric Tiong’.
Following the discovery, Siew lodged a police report.
Commenting on the matter, Kua said that in the month of March, he received 10 complaints about scratch and win scam.
“We hope Domestic Trade Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry will do something about this,” he said.
Police, when contacted, confirmed the reports and said that the cases are pending investigations.

Pirates attack tugboat off Pulau Tioman
Pirates attack tugboat off Pulau Tioman
Pirates armed with parangs swooped on a tugboat on March 22, just 22km off the coast of Pulau Tioman, a popular dive spot for Singaporeans.
The group of more than 10 pirates, mainly Indonesians, took over the S$5.8 million tugboat called "Marina 26", as well as a barge it was pulling. The vessels had left Singapore 24 hours earlier.
The pirates destroyed the tugboat's Global Positioning System device and the 10-men crew were tied up and locked up in one of the cabins.
"We were all shivering," the vessel's master, Captain Amri Arsyad, 31, told MediaCorp in Bahasa Indonesian.
They were held captive for two days while the pirates re-painted the vessel with leftover green paint they found onboard. The pirates then forced the crew to jump into a life-raft with some food, mineral water and their passports.
The next 40 hours were hell.
"We spotted a cargo ship and started waving and shouting for attention but it passed us by. We felt really helpless. Later that afternoon, the boat started to deflate and we paddled with our hands to try to reach Tioman, which was far away on the horizon," said Mr Amri.
Soon, they were tired and stopped paddling, letting the boat drift.
"It seemed hopeless. At the back of my mind, I thought that was the end of my life," he said.
Their fate changed when they were spotted by a fisherman who was passing by and came to their rescue. The crew, mostly Indonesians, are now recovering at Natuna Island in Indonesia.
A search and recovery was not carried out because the area is believed to be too large to cover.
International information sharing centre for maritime matters, ReCAAP ISC, has confirmed the incident and has circulated an incident alert with photos of the tugboat.
A similar hijacking off Pulau Tioman was reported in February last year.
The tugboat and barge is owned by Indonesian shipping company PT. Pelnas Bahtera Bestari Shipping. Its director, Miss Tresya, an avid diver who frequents Pulau Tioman, contacted MediaCorp with news of the incident.
She said "We hope to alert vessel owners and the relevant authorities to the piracy problems around our region which, we feel, have been neglected.
"The fact that this incident happened close to the coast of a populated area shows that the pirates have no fear. Many Singaporeans dive off Tioman and those who own vessels go there often. We want to warn them of the potential danger."
