On behalf of my friend..I post for him this topic. Please inform ur family menbers..Say No to them!!

我想告诉大家一件事.几个月前我的妈妈遇到一些自称是学生的售货员.他们假装是学生,还告诉我妈妈说她们是 为了要拿分数,希望我妈妈能够帮他们让他们来我家煮.我妈妈好心,就答应了他们来我家煮.刚开始还以为是真 的学生,一到了家门口才发现原来是大人.不疑有诈,就开们让他进来.进来了之后,就开始煮菜.(用他们的锅 煮).煮完了之后.就用各种方法要我妈妈买锅.我妈妈请他走.他还是不走.硬硬要我妈买.结果买了几千块的 锅.那还是刚开始,之后还一直找我妈要我妈买着买那儿.我家人口少,不需买一大套.买了几千快没用,全放在 家里浪费钱.我妈不敢告诉我.但最后还是被我发现到.我想把这事告诉大家.让大家也告诉自己的家人,好让她 们提防提防这些人.

A rough translation for non chinese bros here since I'm pretty free now.

"I wish to tell everyone about something. A few monthes ago, my mom met a self proclaimed student salesman. They posed as students and even told my mom that they needed to gain "points", hoping my mom would be able to help by letting them into the home and cook. Being kind hearted, she agreed to do so. Initially thinking that they were real students, they turned out to be adults. Not suspecting anything, they were let in. Upon entering, they began cooking (using their own wok). Done with cooking, they use various tactics requesting my mom to purchase the wok. My mom requested they leave but they refused, insisting the sale of the wok. Ended up buying a few thousand dollars worth of wok. That was only the beginning, after that they pushed for sales of other items. As we are a small family, we no not need a whole set of woks, spending the money and not utilizing them, they are left at home wasting money. My mom didn't dare tell me but I found out eventually. I wish to tell everyone, letting them inform their family members, warning them of such people around."

Bro YummyBear,
Nice to see forumers (like yourself) translating postings in chinese to English for the benefits of those who can't read in Chinese. Thanks!

All the Bros of SBF should seriously consider adding points to YummyBear's reputation points to show our appreciation and to encourage other bros to follow his example. Just my 2 cents.

Cheers,

maybe a warning not to allow salemans/students into the house... cos they may turn out to be molesters or rapists.. it quite a common ruse for a guy to pretend to be a saleman to gain entry into the house b4 commiting sexual offences...

Another victim so call Tan Ah Gao:

'This is the same trick by some salesman selling vacumme cleaners. They call to your home and tell you that you have won a contest for a free house cleaning demo. They then make an appointment for a DEMO and tell you that your house have alot of dust mites. They will not leave your house when the DEMo is over and will persuade you to buy the item. Cost $3000 - 4000. So BE CAREFULL on these kind of sales tactics. Never let a sales person into your house when you are alone"

Bros, I also kanna be4. The same old shit of selling expensive vacuum cleaners to us except the person involved is different.

This time round encountered 2 PRCs trying to sell vacuum cleaners to me n my CO. At first, knock on our house and ask us if we can offer drinks to them. See them so pity, sweating like hell, so open door and offer water to them.

KNN, MAJOR REGRET. Our peaceful life turns into Hell. Out from nowhere, one of the prc girls suddenly take out a huge vacuum cleaner WHICH COST ABT $3K++ and start to demo for us despite we objected. Then spend another 3 hours in my house trying to phsyco us into buying... My CO nearly buy knn.... Lucky I managed to hold my stand and ask them to get the fuck out of my house.

CB... Damned thick skinned. Ask them to fuck off and they still dare to ask for more water to quench their thirst.

From that day onwards, as long as any salesmen who knocked on my door, I just told them dont FUCKING BOTHER ME and slammed the door HARD.:D

bigmannow
22-01-2009, 10:33 AM
Actually it's very simple...

Whenever any salesman come, either don't open the door or close the door if it's open and if too late they come already knock on the door, jus say "don't want / bu yao (chiense) and close the door" and don't bother.

This scam is not new. It has been used time and again. Sometimes they post as officers from HDB or other government bodies. Some ppl, especially the aged and the younger one are intimidated so they let these ppl in. Some even send u a notice before they come. The letterheads carry logos that are quite similar to those government bodies. If u dont look carefully, u will be conned into thinking they are legitimate.

A China vacuum cleaner sales woman tried to sell us her $3000 over vacuum cleaner in my house once. It was v big n heavy. Yes, she demonstrated n explained it for a long time. She didn't coerce us into buying it. It's probably an OK product. It was lucky dat we told her dat our Mandarin isn't good. She mumbled dat she couldn't explain her product properly in dat case. We already have 2 vacuum cleaners. So we didn't buy it.

A Buddhist monk who looked like he's from Thailand once came to the gate with his black begging bowl. I gave him some rice but he declined it. He wanted money. I think I gave him some coins. He seemed like he couldn't speak English. He didn't utter a word of thanks. He appeared thankful n he went to another house. I later read in the newspapers dat there're bogus monks from Thailand who beg from door-to-door in housing estates.

Have u seen a local Chinese girl wearing glasses selling packets of tissue paper outside Bedok MRT Station? She's petite n has a thin body. She sits in a wheelchair. Her legs look v thin. She has short, straight black hair. One woman passerby told me dat the tissue paper seller told her dat a kind hearted woman gave the tissue paper seller $10 for a packet of tissue paper n told her to keep the change.

I replied dat I saw this same bespectacled girl who was selling tissue paper, selling trinkets in Lavender Food Cent. She was walking from table to table! I can swear on this. But don't know if her legs gave out on her n now she has to sit in a wheelchair.
