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)
8)
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.
Lastly but not least, thank you for reading to the end and I hope you can
come back for more details and updates or help to contribute for me to
update. I hope to receive information of any scams so that I can share them
here to protect others. Although most of those above-mentioned are marketed
through direct-selling or MLM schemes, I will soon add non-MLM scams. Please
contribute.
