JOHOR BARU - A SINGAPOREAN who was shopping at the Johor Baru City Square lost RM 7,500 (S$3,114) in a scratch and win scam.
The victim, Loh Kum Fai, 53, said a salesman 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.
Mr Loh added that he took a taxi with the salesman 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.
Mr 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.ORIGINAL SOURCE
