以优惠价企图骗订金! 网友揭自身经历提醒勿贪小便宜

近日我国电话诈骗频传,许多民众纷纷接到骗子的来电,并将与骗子“斗智斗勇”的视频上传到网络上。这些诈骗电话多数自称来自银行,但也有网友在近日表示,居然在网络上购物时,也差点被骗。 该名网友Paul Teo在脸书上公开自己差点受骗的历程。据帖文指出,他原本想透过网络上购买手机,但自己未使用官方网购平台,而是和一位卖家私信,后者以“优惠价”欲向他达成交易。 起初,他并未即时意识到异常,加上骗徒具有说服力与被优惠价所吸引,当局者迷,才会一步步陷入骗徒圈套。 “他(骗徒)非常具有说服力,称自己也有家室,想和我套关系,并以可立即获得手机和优惠价为由诱惑我。” Paul表示,一切布局看似极具吸引,但在获得手机前,他表示必须先付定金200元。对此,Paul也指出,起初并不疑有他,但Paul提议面对面付款,而骗徒却以公司政策,并将自己的身份证字号拍给他看,让他安心。 “我当时心想,不会有人为了骗我200块而和我谈了将近三小时吧”,于是他最后决定先付定金,并等待手机的到来。 不料,未等到手机到来前,骗徒再以“冠病保障定金”为由,要求再付300元。网友说,当下他才恍然大悟,原来这一切皆为骗局。 Paul随后便向他讨回之前的订金而被骗徒拒绝,骗徒此时仍试图说服他继续购买。但此时的网友已意识到,并警告骗徒若无法偿还订金,他会立即报警。 网友也称赞警方的办事效率,并指出目前已报警处理,警方也设法助他索回损失。 对此,网友也表示,千万不要因为贪小便宜而落入骗徒的圈套,为了阻止更多的人受骗,他也决定将自身经历放上网络,以示警告。 该帖文截至今日已获得逾900次转载,逾800多赞,网友纷纷表示天下果然没有白费的午餐,部分网友也指出有些骗局确实具有说服力,让你难以分出真假,只能提醒自己不要贪小便宜。

肥雄:600元检查费非强制 茨园小贩多不知情

早前,本地美食指南”食尊“(Makansutra)美食家司徒国辉,公开在网站痛批社会企业模式管理小贩中心,小贩们被征收租金及杂费等高达4千元,增加小贩开销,不利谋生。 其中,他也提及小贩必须缴交”硬币兑换服务费”、餐具清洗费和600元的品质检查费等。 不过,管理小贩中心的社企肥雄餐饮管理集团,早前回应有关600元费用,其实是非强制性的顾问费,旨在为有需要小贩提供专业服务,协助维持食品质量和卫生标准。 同时,小贩可自由选择50元的硬币兑换费服务,肥雄集团也澄清,是下属在与小贩沟通上出现信息误解。 “网络公民”记者在本月10日,前往肥雄集团管理的后港茨园小贩中心。国家环境局把该小贩中心的管理责任,外包给肥雄集团。 根据不愿具名的小贩透露,她有缴交600元的检查费,不过他强调,自去年起管理层就已开始征收检查费。去年收费高达700元,不过今年基于某些原因降价了。 至于50元的硬币兑换服务,不管有无用上,都必须缴交。她指着一个故障的自动付款机说:“如果这个还能运作,我们也要还钱。” 小贩:检查费列在合约内 另一煮食摊位则告诉“网络公民”,对于品质检查服务非强制毫不知情。记者告诉该小贩,肥雄管理层已向主流媒体澄清,检查费不是强制的,他则回应,如果在合约里列明必须支付,小贩们没得争议。 椰浆饭食摊的员工则指出,管理层从未告知有关费用是选择性的,只要费用被列在合约中,小贩要租摊位,就得支付。 烤肉摊东主则直言,既然列在合约里,小贩们没得选择,除非干脆不签合约。不过,他认为在茨园租小贩摊位,比起向私人咖啡店租摊位更加便宜。 然而相比之下,若小贩在由环境局直接管理的小贩中心经营,平均开销上,还是比社企管理的茨园小贩中心较低。…
