Sunshine Empire operates like a cult. Calling the CEO "Father"? CEO claiming he's better than Warren Buffett? Yeah right, so that makes me better than Bill Gates? :rofl:

Empire State Tower, one question. Jalan Tun Razak or Jalan Raja Chulan? Keep on shifting postiton of tower? It seems that I never saw ads advertising the so called properties? Adn where do they get the money to even start construction in the first place?

hmm.. the lion head is definately more creative than the palm...

Frankly, from beginning i lack of confidence with this developer and the viability of their theme park development in Melaka.

BREAKING NEWS

19 November 2007 From a blog

Amazing, amazing, the signs are there, yet people still refuse to believe what has been reported. They still held a firm belief in Sunshine Empire. Here is a minimise newspaper clipping from The New Paper published on 19 November 2007:


THE affairs of some companies linked to Sunshine Empire have come under the spotlight again, this time in Taiwan. An 'affiliated company' of Sunshine Empire, Empire Communications Technology (Emcom), has claimed on its website that it plans to invest more than $20million in a broadband project there. The company, whose registered office is at the Toa Payoh Hub, has 'invested heavily into Taiwan' to build 'a seamless wireless broadband that will cover more than 95 per cent of the city of Taichung'. It claimed that the project will be completed by the end of this year.

However, a check with the Information Management Section of the Department of Planning of the Taichung City Government showed no evidence of this. Ms Huang Hui-Ming, chief of the section, told The New Paper on Sunday that Emcom does not have any partnership with the Taichung City government.

She said the company had never contacted its department regarding the broadband project. Ms Huang noted that while it is true that the city's government plans to build a wireless Internet network, it is part of a project proposed by the Industrial Development Bureau of Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs.

And this government-initiated project is being handled by Asia Pacific Telecom Group (APTG). Ms Huang said: 'After contacting APTG about Emcom, we understand that EmCom is not involved in the government-funded M-Taichung project. (So, what exactly is EmCom doing in Taiwan??)

Empire Property Venture (a member of the Sunshine Empire), is supposedly involved in, including a Malacca Empire Marine Theme Park and A Magic Kingdom theme park in Sabah.

The authorities in Malacca and Sabah had earlier told The New Paper on Sunday that they have no information on the existence of these projects.

When contacted, the Mayor of the Malacca City Council, Datuk Zaini Md Nor, said that to date, they had not received any proposals for such a theme park there.

He added that he had received an application in August for the approval of a plan by Empire Property Venture to build a commercial and residential building of 510 units on 0.87 ha of land which is slightly larger than a football field. (that's why the billboard states a building only)

But this project has not been approved. (No such projects have taken place, no showrooms available, and yet they are marketing it, all sold to their own members. Don't you find it fishy? For all you know, these are all just words said by Sunshine Empire?)

http://www.empirepropertyventure.com/newspaper/msg_malakaCM.pdf[/url] ???]

She also said there were units available for a higher-end project in Kuala Lumpur called the [B]Empire State Tower.

However, a check with the City Hall of Kuala Lumpur revealed that no such project is in the works at present.

A spokesman said: 'City Hall Kuala Lumpur has not received any application for a property to be developed at Jalan Tun Razak called the Empire State Tower.' (No application have been processed, and (if) they are already building it, its illegal.)


Their website mention that the company was involved in a successful project before this, called Bandar Alam Perdana, Shah Alam. However this project is a failed project owned by Prime Utilities Berhad and co-developed with Fountain View Group Bhd (Fountain View and Prime are related behind the scene and both has been a bankrupt company).

From Sunshine Empire to Empire Sunshine haha.

This project is Such a Scam... cause I can feel that this developer is actually a Pyramid Scheme company, furthermore it states that it's backbone is in Taiwan lol.

Sources said the developer couldnt sell the properties they first launch to outsiders, so it concentrated on its own members. Why they can sell? Malaysian Securities Commission has listed Sunshine Empire on its investor-alert list. It advised the public not to make any investment with companies that are not licensed or approved by it.

Now they're offering people a chance to join the company and get a property. They do the "marketing" for their properties at their direct sales meetings weekly i supposed.

They're planing to launch a bigger project in Sabah - an underwater water theme park. Artists' impressions of the park in Sabah, called The Magic Kingdom, showed a lavish underwater hotel. An aerial view showed a network of structures in the water which took the shape of a lobster. These structures are purportedly underwater hotel rooms. "You can open the curtains to your room and see your friends swimming outside", said one representative.

Let's hope that they will change to become a genuine developer.

Their new office pic http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc01752mg6.jpg

wah...so confusing.....a lobster shape underwater theme park? haha....now im dreaming about it.....

The "world's first lion head shaped resort" is just super lame!

He strongly believes that everyone has the will to succeed. However not everyone may know how to achieve his or her desires and dreams. David was given the opportunity then in Network Marketing. Under the guidance of International President Mr. James Phang, he has learnt that Network Marketing was not just a means of income but a fulfilling career that opens to unlimited opportunities. Mr. James Phang not only imparted his precious knowledge on Network Marketing but also changed his life for the better. Teaching him how to overcome obstacles that came against him.



Okay, guys, I can't say for sure this is a scam but this certainly has something to do with pyramid scheme or Ponzi... be 101% cautious when dealing with them... 'coz its managing director, David Phang, has such close connection with James Phang.

Search "James Phang" in google and you'd know what I mean... ;)

You decide ;)

Sentral: Mercu tanda baru di Klebang Besar
Oleh Siti Nor Saadah Mdh Yusof

Taman Tema Empire Marine bernilai RM600 juta bakal siap menjelang 2011

MELAKA: Melaka bakal mendapat satu lagi mercu tanda apabila projek Taman Tema Empire Marine Melaka berharga RM600 juta siap dibina di kawasan Klebang Besar dekat sini menjelang 2011.

Projek di kawasan seluas 81.2 hektar yang dimulakan secara rasmi baru-baru ini diyakini mampu melonjakkan lagi pembangunan sektor pelancongan negeri ini.



Ia berkonsepkan warisan kebudayaan dan sejarah Melaka yang bakal dipaparkan secara interaktif untuk membangkitkan kembali zaman kegemilangan Melaka.

Taman tema berprestij itu akan dibina dengan reka bentuk moden dilengkapi kemudahan permainan air, pusat sukan dan permainan khusus untuk kanak-kanak.

Selain pelbagai permainan air bagi memberi kelainan dan keseronokan pengunjung, turut disediakan ialah persembahan kebudayaan 'amphitheatre' dengan inspirasi sejarah awal Melaka, kolam renang serta jakuzi.

Presiden Empire World Wide Sdn bhd, Datuk Dr Alex Teh berkata, kemudahan lain adalah penginapan 1,397 unit apartmen, 202 chalet perkampungan air serta 3,000 bilik hotel bertaraf lima bintang, selain 200 kediaman berlainan konsep.

Katanya, fasa pertama projek bermula baru-baru ini membabitkan pembinaan 510 unit kompleks perniagaan perusahaan kecil dan sederhana.

"Apa yang membanggakan, setakat ini 80 peratus apartmen berjaya dijual. Dari segi promosi, kami memberi tumpuan menarik lebih ramai pelancong China berkunjung ke negeri ini berdasarkan pasaran pelancongan yang baik di negara itu, sekali gus menjadikan taman tema ini yang terbaik di selatan tanah air," katanya.

Mirip kubu Portugis abad ke-16, taman tema itu turut menggunakan rekaan rumah tradisional Melayu Melaka bagi menampilkan ciri-ciri kebudayaan negeri ini.

Beliau berkata, setiap ruang bakal memberikan suasana santai kepada pengunjung, selain pengalaman menghayati hidupan laut menaiki kapal mewah di persisiran Selat Melaka.

Dr Alex berkata, turut disediakan ialah pusat konvensyen dan ruang pameran yang mampu menempatkan 10,000 pengunjung pada satu-satu masa.

"Kami yakin projek ini dapat menjana pertumbuhan ekonomi Melaka di samping membuka peluang pekerjaan kepada penduduk tempatan. Ini membantu kerajaan negeri menarik lebih ramai pelancong untuk berkunjung dan bermalam di sini," katanya.

RM600m marine park to woo tourists
Monday December 17, 2007
TheStar

MALACCA: The state will have a new tourist attraction with the completion of the RM600mil Malacca Empire Marina Park in Klebang Besar within four years.

The project, undertaken by Empire Properties Ventures Sdn Bhd, will have a marine theme park, a 10,000-seat international convention centre, sailing boat docks, a three-storey shopping complex, 510 small offices, 1,397 apartment units, a five-star hotel with 3,000 rooms, historical gallery and a replica Dutch ship.

The company's president Datuk Alex Teh said three lionhead-shaped water villages would be the pride of the project.

“The lionhead water villages will be supported by stilts and will be above the sea water. A total of 1,140 chalets will be built with three distinctive styles on each head,” he said.

Teh said the chalet designs would follow the Malacca kampung house, Chinese and European styles.

“The concept is somewhat like Dubai Palm Resort where homes are built on man-made islands but here they will be built on stilts,” he told reporters before the start of piling works for the project.

He said that 80% of the 510 small offices had been taken up and they would be constructed within 14 months.

“Due to lack of space for the project, we will undertake land reclamation of 69ha and have sought approval from the state,” Teh said.

He said the firm was banking on tourists from China making up more than 50% of the visitors after completion of the park.

“People in China know more about Malacca than Kuala Lumpur because they know about the former trading port’s history and Admiral Cheng Ho’s visit in the 16th century,” he said.

Living in sunshine - Malacca's latest resort offers gateway homes from RM145,000

The past, the present and the future have come together to provide an interesting opportunity for investors and those looking for holiday homes in Malacca.

Banking on the state's rich 600-year-old cultural history, Empire Properties Ventures Sdn Bhd (EPV) is currently developing the 203-acre Malacca Empire Marina Theme Park (MEMTP) and offering for sale the first phase of units that will be ready by 2010.

Set amid a resort, the Soho units are designed to provide a fitting environment for work and play

EPV general manager Quah Eng Hock said the entire multibillion-ringgit development taking shape on the Klebang Beach foreshore as well as on 87 acres of reclaimed land will comprise four components: Empire Sunshine Villas, Empire Theme Park and Service Resorts, Empire Marina Villas and Empire Global Wonder Village.

"We plan our development to be the first to integrate facets of history with tourist elements and lifestyle features demanded by buyers investing in tomorrow," he said.

Now available for sale are 510 Small Office Home Offices (SoHos) in Empire Sunshine Villas.

Situated from the eighth to top-most floor of a 24-and-half-storey tower that will sit atop a three-level shopping mall, Quah said investors have a choice of four layouts.

"Some will also come with roof gardens," he said.

To support the use of the SoHos as holiday homes, recreational facilities including a gym, spa, swimming pool and landscaped gardens will be designed into the phase "to provide a fitting environment for work and play".

Buyers will also have access to commercial outlets such as a business centre, convenience store and the three level shopping mall that will have 22 lots on the ground floor and 48 on each of the upper two levels.

These can be bought for between RM650psf and RM1,000psf.

Piling work for Empire Sunshine Villas commenced last December and so far, 55 per cent of the SoHo units, which carry a gross development value of RM135 million, have been sold.

When Malacca Empire Marina Theme Park (MEMTP) is fully completed in four years, it will be a comprehensive resort with a marine theme park, water villages modelled after the Dubai Palm Resort, a five-star hotel, historial gallery and 10,000-seat international conventional centre.

haha..i guess the developer really learn from Donald Trump's THINK BIG :lol:

very dodgy company....

Very very dubious. Like how many times had they shifted the building around the site. Wonder how's the water quality at Malacca.

Where is their EIA report, which is supposed to be conducted by the state DOE before any approval is granted? Check out with the doe website shows not even one project is listed under their review, unless the website is not updated. If they want to do sumthing to the sea marine which can possible affect the marine life, they must hv the EIA report for authority and public endorsement. They failed in this case to produce it or i can bet they are not even bother to get it.

To me, empire venture is a modern multi level pyramid marketing scheme. A scheme FOR ONLY the lucky and selected first investors group of people. What u see the big crowd in their marketing seminars are probably thats kind of group i m talking. The rest of the later investors are only banking on false hopes that the sky ll pour in money into their garden. The scheme works in a way that if you want to be part of the scheme, you must paid a booking deposit of rm50,000 for 10 units (rm5000 per unit) as the firstline purchaser. You must get the 10 other purchasers (your downline) to buy back the unit or in another way, to repay back your initial investment of 50000. Once you hv recruited all your foolish 10 purchasers and, construction stage has reaches 45%, you r then eligible (but not quaranteed), promoted to be a special member in their exclusive chain of others pyramid scheme network around the world. Even you hv 10 purchasers, you still need to be sure there are available units to sell. If you dont, you dont get promoted. Now, thinks for a while. Said the development has 101 units available but they hv already sold to 10 first line purchasers without your knowledge, is there any available unit for your downline puchasers more? And how would the construction work can start off by reclaiming the sea without any approval from the state DOE?

sumthing went so wrong with the state govt. that such scheme can be allowed there. :ohno:

Mercantile Point, Sunshine Empire under probe
Published: 2008/04/05


MERCANTILE Point Sdn Bhd and Sunshine Empire Sdn Bhd, and their related companies are under Bank Negara Malaysia investigation for possible illegal deposit taking and money laundering activities.

Mercantile Point is involved in various businesses, including trading, asset management, project and financial management, forwarding and consultancy services, while Sunshine Empire is a multi-level marketing company based in Kuala Lumpur.

In a statement yesterday, Bank Negara said it had carried out raids on Mercantile Point and its related companies on Tuesday, while raids on Sunshine Empire and its related companies were conducted yesterday.

"These raids were conducted in the premises of the companies around Kuala Lumpur following complaints received from members of the public," the central bank said, adding that relevant assets and documents of the companies were seized for the purpose of investigation.

These illegal activities are offences under subsection 25(1) Banking and Financial Institutions Act 1989 and subsection 4(1) of Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Financing Act 2001 respectively.

Bank Negara has called on members of the public not to place money or deposits with companies not licensed by it or to be involved in any get-rich-quick scheme to avoid losing their money.

Money
Clients of MLM firm Sunshine Empire cry foul
Lorna Tan, Finance Correspondent

Many now worry they may lose their principal sums after their rebates were discontinued

PEOPLE who have put money with the controversial multi-level marketing (MLM) firm Sunshine Empire are crying foul after their monthly cash rebates were discontinued.

Many are also now worried about losing their principal sums worth millions of dollars.

Several participants have told The Straits Times that they have been offered an option by their 'upline' - the person who recruited them to Sunshine - to cancel their accounts in Singapore and transfer them to a Hong Kong company called EmMax.

They have been told that once the Hong Kong business is built up, their rebates will start flowing again.

The Straits Times reported in November that the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) was investigating Sunshine, as its activities appeared more like those of a pure investment scheme, for which it was not licensed.

The firm invites people to become 'merchants' of online goods, ranging from health supplements to electronics. Concerns centre on the fact that participants can potentially pocket big monthly 'rebates', which are not guaranteed, without ever buying or selling these goods.

The rebates are based on the participants' cash outlay, as well as Sunshine's global turnover.

Six Sunshine participants were applying for refunds when The Straits Times visited the company's headquarters in Toa Payoh yesterday.

One, who declined to be named, said he placed $12,500 in a gold plan in August. He received two monthly rebates of about $700 each, but these stopped once the CAD began its investigation.

Another participant, who also sought anonymity, said she was 'very worried' about losing her savings of $35,000, which she placed in four gold plans from November to early this year. Her rebates have ceased in recent months.

'If Sunshine is declared bankrupt, I will not get my money back,' she said. 'Can the authorities give direction on what to do?'

She will not transfer her accounts to Hong Kong, as she is unsure if the move is legal because of the ongoing investigation.

Sunshine adviser and spokesman James Phang denied any knowledge of the alleged Hong Kong option when he spoke to The Straits Times recently.

'I'm under investigation, so I'm not at liberty to reveal anything,' he said.

'To my knowledge, there were no meetings at Sunshine (about the Hong Kong option). People can come in and out. They can join any company. I have no control over the members. They are independent people.'

Mr Phang did confirm that Sunshine had stopped giving rebates in the past few months.

It was earlier reported that Mr Phang was linked to a failed investment scheme that resulted in 1,000 Singaporeans losing about $2 million.

The Consumers Association of Singapore's executive director, Mr Seah Seng Choon, cautioned participants against transferring their money to Hong Kong, as it would put their investment outside Singapore's jurisdiction.

'Recovering money from a foreign entity is always difficult if the company is unable to continue its operation here as a result of the current investigation,' he said.

Mr Seah advised consumers unprepared to stomach further risks to ask Sunshine for refunds - advice he also gave in November. He urged consumers to report to the police any new development or changes made by Sunshine.

Sunshine was placed on the Monetary Authority of Singapore's investor alert list in September. This means it is not allowed to conduct regulated activities.

It is reported to have attracted 20,000 clients since it set up in Singapore in July last year.

The police declined to comment yesterday, as its investigation was still ongoing.

Only the Empire Sunhsine Villa is real.


The rest, base on my analyisis, is an almost Impossibility.


EPV would have to buy over more than 8 land owners who own 'sea frontage' lands, in order to reclaim land to built their Theme Park, including a School, 2 Condos, a Mosque, 2 Seaside restaurants, and a Resort.


Do Malaysian Laws allows land reclaimation to 1 Party to extend land masses in the sea to adjoining land masses when the 'shore lands' do not belong to that Party?

Sunshine chief charged
He and three others are accused of running a fraudulent scheme

THE man behind multilevel marketer Sunshine Empire, which pulled in $189 million from investors here, is facing 20 charges, including running a fraudulent business and criminal breach of trust.
James Phang Wah, 49, appeared in the Subordinate Court yesterday, more than a year after the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) launched a probe into the alleged scam which attracted tens of thousands of unwitting investors.

Another man, Sunshine's president (Asia Pacific) Jackie Hoo Choon Cheat, 29, faced 10 charges including running a fraudulent business. Two other people, including Phang's wife, also faced related charges in court yesterday.

The main charge alleged that the two central figures were running a Ponzi-like scheme involving many millions of dollars raised from members of the public.

In Ponzi schemes, investors are lured to hand over cash on the promise of high returns - but the returns simply come from funds pumped in by new investors.

The charges allege that Sunshine, based at Toa Payoh HDB Hub, was selling packages which offered returns in the form of cash rebates. The returns were paid from the proceeds of packages bought by later Sunshine participants.

According to Deputy Public Prosecutor April Phang, the revenue generated by Sunshine, which has a paid-up capital of $150,000, between August 2006 and November 2007 totalled $189 million.

It is believed that many investors have their money stuck with the company and it is unclear whether they can get it back in full.

Phang and Hoo also faced charges of failing to maintain proper accounts.

The criminal breach of trust charges involve nearly $1 million. Criminal breach of trust takes place when an offender has the responsibility of holding money or assets on behalf of others but misuses the funds by using them for other purposes. The maximum penalty is life imprisonment, along with possible fines.

In addition, Phang faced six charges of falsifying accounts and two related to possessing obscene films. Phang's wife, Neo Kuon Huay, 46, was charged with falsifying accounts in relation to sums exceeding $592,800.

A director of Empire Investment Group, Yong Wai Hong, 27, was charged with making false declarations involving $1.45 million. This had allegedly given Sunshine participants the false sense that its affiliated firms have strong financial standing.

Yong is also chairman and chief executive of a Hong Kong-listed firm Emcom International, which was acquired using Sunshine's sale proceeds.

The prosecutor, Ms Phang, added that the bulk of Phang and Neo's assets are in Hong Kong bank accounts.

Three of the accused, apart from Yong, were arrested on Monday afternoon and spent that night in remand. Yong was on police bail then.

Ms Phang stated that all four are considered a 'high flight risk' as CAD has information that they are involved in some business in Hong Kong.

Their passports were impounded and bail was set at $600,000 for each of them. Last evening, they were released on bail and were driven away in a convoy of Mercedes-Benzes and BMWs.

They were represented by lawyers Noor Mohamed Marican and Subhas Anandan.

Phang, who has four children aged 15 to 23, was addressed as 'Lao Da' ('chief' in Mandarin) as he got into his car.

The Empire Group Alliance, a group spanning several Asian countries, was set up in 2003. It claimed to have interests in network marketing, entertainment, energy, real estate and telecommunications.

Anyone got pics of the site now?

BE ALERT


1) The Cafe Scams - Island Red Cafe & Stevens Corner(strange, both in Pandan Indah) - Island Red Cafe collects members RM6,000 each and promised 5% return every month and even give you a name in the ROC as a shareholder but what’s the point when they run away ? Stevens Corner, the famous indian coffee shop follows due to drop of business since their renovation. They collect RM3,000 per member and promise return of RM150 monthly and plans to open nice fanchisee cafe called StevensTeaGarden. Someone mentioned they will make you sign an agreement that give them the rights NOT to pay you anything in future. If you really wish to join, ask for a copy of their agreement and consult your lawyer BEFORE paying them. Bet you will NOT get a copy. Both collect monies from new members with MLM recruitment schemes and pay the old members like Sunshine Empire. You never know when they will run away.

2) Sunshine Empire - This licensed and legal Company has an impressive office at the ground level of KUB building along Jalan Yap Kwan Seng, near Menara Public Bank and AmBank Building . They also have a showroom office at the ground level in the next building. 2 or 3 months ago, Singapore ’s Straits Times and The Paper published big news reminding their people to be careful and NOT to believe in them. Hope someone can put up the link or google for it.(As expected, they STOPPED paying back members now and all investors LOST their money).


Someone below has put a link to the Singapore news. In fact there are more to it. Although Singapore is investigating them, they did not stop their business as the business is legal and so far, no Singaporean have failed to receive their commissions as promised. Thus, the government cannot stop them yet.


The news published that the founder, director and group president is someone named James Phang but he is NOT the owner. Isn’t this quite strange ? At the end of the game, James Phang can just disappear from the Company easily and claimed that he was just “employed”. Such trick always happened in scam businesses.


Now, the Company has STOPPED paying commissions and interests to members with the excuse that the Singapore government has freezed their bank account while under investigation. Do you think their boss will be so stupid to keep much monies in the bank to be freezed ? They are all transfered away. It’s just an excuses not to pay back to members and members are only paid “e-bonus-points” which is cashless. If they wish to convert to cash, they have to recruit new members to pay them cash and the recruiter less out trom the amount. So victims act like Vampires and “forced” to victimise other victims if they wish to get their monies back. And their victims will later transform to vampires and the scam carries on…..

3) MOBILWALLET - This Company owned by 2 young men, Stanley & Rey Gan, office in Queens Avenue Park has collect multi-millions the last 2 years. Claimed that they tied up with Telekoms, Utility Board payment like Water & Electricity bills, even Maybank got fooled by them. Advertisement Billboards everywhere. They STOPPED paying back their members few months ago and the members cannot do anything because they are made to sign an agreement unaware that they have to claims if the company stopped paying them by CHANGING terms and policies.

4) Water businesses - Oxygenated and alkaline water products - Some of these are bottled water and some are filters or equipment that claimed the trick.. One of the better known Company that sold “oxygen” water is SITO(supposed to stand for Selangor International Trading Organiszation and claimed Selangor State Government owned some share in it). The key person and founder is a Dato Robert Ong from Rawang but his name is no longer in the business now. Their products are sold for RM2 to RM3 for a 350ml bottle and now concentrating mostly in the Indian market. Their Chinese and Malays market are long gone since a year or 2 ago. Their customers are made to believe that their water has more oxygen and able to give miraculous effects for the body. Water is H2O, how to put more O into it ? Anyone knows how much oxygen do we breathe into our body everyday at FOC ? Latest news is that this SITO Company is going to create new label to market under a new Company since the SITO name has already gone bad. Someone informed that this Company is owing alot of money(due to refunds) to ex-stockists but just refuse to pay them.
(Latest news, SITO shifted to another place and their MLM business has closed but planning to start again with a different name, beware !!)


Alkaline Products - Can anyone explain how it can work for the body ? The stomach’s gastric liquid is so acidic that water of any pH that goes through it will not make any difference.

5) Car Fuel Booster - K-Link, the famous scam MLM Company that sold the footpatch TAKARA, later the “cock-ring” and energy-card launched the patrol-saving pills last year. Got so hot that even grocery shops are selling for them. Recently many of these cars that used the pills are rushing to the workshops to clean the residual. Few months ago, another MLM Company launched a fuel booster gadget, claimed that saves up to 20% fuel, that is attached to the cigarette lighter. Started off well using binary plan but businese begin to fade now and most users find it NOT effective.

6) Perfumery Products(eg. Lampe Berger & Bel Air)(more details later).. Lampe Berger is not so hot now in the neighbouring countries but there are still new victims every month in Malaysia . Must thanks to those who have contributed and kept the thread alive here in Kopitiam. Bel-Air have closed in Malaysia . LB is almost zero in Singapore . This perfumery product from France with over 100 years history is just bottles and fragrance(check the factory’s website) but the Company marketing them in Asia claimed “aromatheraphy” products. Hong Kong TVB aired a program that exposed their scam but their members claimed that HK’s TVB already apologised to them.

Note that the biggest strenght in a MLM Scam is their members will go all way out to lie in order to defend for their Company. The reason is simple; these members fear that they will not be able to make their money back if the Company collapsed.

Knowing that the Lampe Berger products are moving slow, they add a line of skincare products named Estebel, also claime to have over 100 years history in France.(Hardly anymore Chinese newcomers, they are now tapping the Malays in Malaysia)

7) Energy Products(eg. stone pendants, bracelets, mattress and pillows). They use all sorts of gimmicks and demonstration to make you into believing them. They will do some tricks and demo to prove that these products really produce energy BUT is there any tricks in their demo ? So what if there really produce energy; is it good or strong enough to help the body ? The effect is actually PLACEBO which I will elaborate in a new thread soon.(more details later)

Hi-Tech products(names like bio-tech, nano-tech that claimed millions of dollars of research involved, eg Bio-Young and XKL few years ago). Most of these will claimed a professor behind them(even with name and picture of a person) or used words like “U.S.A. formula”, “German Technology” or “Nanotechnology” and no further details(more details later). If you ask for more details like the professor or factory’s address, the answer will be “trade secrets”.

9) Investment Schemes - SWISSCASH is the King of all. Swisscash is nearly over now but there are many similar and smaller ones that are still on.(Now, it’s closed or stopped paying back members)

10) GoldQuest - This Company that claimed to be HK-based started with some non-value gold-plated coins that are sold for over RM2,000 have several names and changed products several times. QuestVacation, QuestNet, etc. They have several offices in Amcorp Mall, PJ and their key person(in fact, the owner), a Malaysian Indian was arrested last year in Indonesia for having involved in a very big Phillipines scam. Most of their overseas offices are closed or inactive but their Malaysia business is still hot, with some “energy” products.(Can someone please provide a link which showed the news that their boss was involved in a big scam in Philippines and was arrested in last year ?)

11) Numerology & Fortune telling - A Company named Visible is using MLM to sell fortune telling classes using your birthday based on Numerology fortune telling. Prpspects will be told that they need to buy a certain “number” between 1 to 9 in the form of pendants or bracelets made of stainless steel and sold from RM600 to RM20,000. Customers, or rather victims are mostly females from rural areas. Very hot in Penang now and a number of spin-off Companies have started.

12) MJ-Life - This Company boost of a very big background with many many years of history which is NOT true. Their people or associates may be long in business but nothing to do with their MLM launched recently. Why do I consider it a scam or bad ? New members are told to pay a sum of money(up to RM1000) and you get NOTHING for it. You only get a membership can entitle you to enjoy all sorts of special price and discounts when you have medical check-ups in their centres.. They will claim all those check-ups cost more if done elsewhere. It’s not true. Only the naive and those new to medical check-ups will fall victims to them. Most members who paid the money ended up with nothing.

13) Seaweed Venture Scams - 1 such Company is located in Taman Maluri, Cheras. They will ask you to invest a few thousands ringgits for their venture of growing seaweeds in East Malaysia and you are guaranteed returns. To gain your confidence further, they will tell you your investment money is secured by “insurance” or “unit trusts” & “trustees”. When you ask for further documents to prove, they will give all sorts of excuses or just ignore you because they know they cannot get you. These Seaweed scam is one of the hottest now, warn all your friends about it before they are victimised.

14) MXM(previously MGM) - This is a master scam among the younger group, very successful 2 or 3 years ago but since there moved to their big 10-storey office at Phileo Damansara and changed name to MXM, their business dropped. They collect members RM3,000 to RM4,000 with credit card monthly easy payment and in return you get a hospital benefits insurance from Pacific Insurance worth only a few hundred RMs together with some you-don’t-need medical check-ups from their associate Company Pathlab. Also talk about fitness, lifestyles bullshit that is all worthless.

15) Gano Excel - This company from the north, a copycat of DXN selling Lingzhi capsules created a new Company called Gano iTouch to cash-in on the internet like e-Cosway after their Company went down the drain since the last 2 years, selling Linzhi and some no-value energy pendants and alkaline water gadgets. They provide free transport every weekend from KL to visit their Alor Star office.

16) NuLife(HK) - This Company started by some HK people has been in Malaysia for more than 10 years but they have flopped in HK and Malaysia due to bad management and a product scam making use of a prosecuted American named Dr Jeffrey Bland, found guilty of false products claim. Since this case in the US leaked out and many Malaysians found out that the real boss in HK is a Steven Tang(he cheated many Malaysians in another scheme about 20 years ago) their business went down all the way. Now they claim Malaysian partners cheated them and start a new Company in Malaysia . Watch out, this new Company will come out with some investment scheme idea that will get many to lose their money.

17) Arowana Fish Breeding, Oora from Germany , Biofuel(Kompleks Maluri) etc - These are some newer scams. Arowana fish venture ask you to invest some money and give you fixed return. Biofuel will tell you their Indonesia connections(just like Sunshine Empire before using Taiwan) & Oora from Germany(I never trust those cruel Germans) that market some bio-chips and a gadget that claims to give energy and therapeutic effects of accupunture, tai-chi, yoga, etc depending how you set the toy-like gadget, wear it on your body and you get the effect later. They could not explain or provide any demonstration to prove their effectiveness. Only doctors and papers claim that I will never trust. The health effect is actually PLACEBO, which I will elaborate in a different thread.

^^ wow......interesting! :eek:

is this one the seaweed scam also ? is pak lah one of their victim ? hohoho
