] Date Posted: Wed, Nov 23 2005, 15:44:00 In reply to: Kay 's message, "IRN Cons" on Sat, Oct 29 2005, 12:05:07 I'm so glad that I found this webpage before going down to listen to their talk! Me and my bf was approached infront of paragon by this poly gal to fill up this survey. After filling it up, was told that we are entitled to lucky draws. With normal lucky draws, you don't actually get so lucky but I got a yellow star and was informed that I had won a $25 Tangs voucher and when my bf picked up his choice he got the 1st prize of 7N stay! This is almost like impossible! We were told that there are only 80 1st prize each month. Now, this is actually weird to me since normally 1st prizez means limited in quantity how come there are 80? The gal later called her supervisor to come over to fill in the invitation, which at that time I had not idea I had to go for any talk. After filling in the form, he told me that we have to go for a 80 mins talk and at the talk there will be 4 numbers where we can try matching our credit cards numbers to, if they are a match we will win another $300 shopping voucher from Robinsons or Isetan. By that time was rather late because we were on our way to catch our movie. But the gal having about to "earn" $150 commission was quite upset she even offered to refund us our money for the tickets so that we will go and listen to the talk for her to get her commission. Then her supervisor consulted another sup to tell us that we can return anytime this week to attend the talk. We were told that we do not need to pay for anything but I had wondered at that time, since when free things comes with no strings attached? But anyways, that gal keep reminding us to come back this week so that she can get her commission. Initially, we had thought why not? Since it's just listening to talks and we've got time to spare and this will help the gal get her comission. But now I'm having 2nd thoughts. Actually, I wonder if those surveyors even know that they are helping these companies con people? It seems to me like the companies are not only cheating us but those surveyors who are working for them as well. I'm just glad that I have not yet went for the talk. After reading some other post at this forum, I believe there is another such company, Oriental something, at Shaw Centre. I always pass that place when I go for my classes on weekends and I normally see Europeans and Americans in there and that place looked so high class! Now I know why they have that money to renovate their premises to such standard. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: Fri, Nov 25 2005, 11:57:20 I wish I had done that last night. The promised 80 mins became 4 hours, way past midnight. Me and my gf decided to take up the trial membership for $3000. It's only when I reached home did we decide to back out. I called the bank this morning at 5am to hold the transaction, but alas, it has been processed! Going down this evening to cancel the agreement as it is still within the cooling period of 3 days. Hopefully everything's alright. Wish me luck..... [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: Sat, Nov 26 2005, 9:03:10 Hi Adrian, Me and my hubby has bought their membership yesterday too and will be going down to cancel the membership today after reading all the negative feedbacks of IRN! What is your reason for termination of this purchase? What time are you going down? We are afriad that the fellow will refuse to pay us the full re-fund. I shall get the bank to stop payment 1st.

Date Posted: Sun, Nov 27 2005, 12:02:42 Tried calling the bank to stop payment at 5am, but was told that the transaction has already gone through, and to think that I have only bought it at 1130pm the previous night! [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
