Lucky Draw SCAM - near palm spring

Got this from a friend ...


Ok, This event happens in Kota Damansara Shell Station (the one opposite Palm Spring Condo, very near the Curve). There is a Scam and they targeted me in short.

First, i drive in to pump petrol as the red light already shown for quite sometime. while the pump is working hard to fill my new (old toyota SEG) car, a very young girl approach me (about 18 years old). she offer me a coupon saying it is a lucky draw from a Car servicing company. She shows me a piece of news paper with the lucky draw advertisement. Well...all she is trying to do is to convience me that this "lucky draw" is real.
Well...it
could be real at this moment.

So i take a coupon and open it. It says i won 6 prices + RM1000. That "girl"
jump up and down and congratulate me. and ask me why am i not feeling happy?
winning 6 prices with 1k is one of top prices! she said. well...i am still not convience.

Then another girl come and ask what happen and etc.. she also jumps. in less than 30 seconds, another girl came. no different she also jumps.

and because i was pumping petrol, the tank is filled and the shell staff is waiting for me to sign the Visa statement. so after signing it, the girls says that i should park my car and continue to discuss the winning process.
Ok...i park my car nearer to the counter.

but when i just stop my car's engine, one of the girl opens my back passenger's door wanting to go in. i realise, i immediately walk out the car
and lock it. (and i also shut the passenger door before i lock) --
Note,
very difficult to get an unwanted human off a car :)

She said to have car air con inside, but i said car air con is not healty if the car is not moving, so better talk outside :)

ok, she starts to says 2 condition to win the price. i must take picture for the news paper because i won a grand price. second, i must take it with my car. ok....fine.

so then they drive a toyota UNSER car plate number WMM 8393 (black
colour)
beside my car. they say: "get in!lets go! we'll go to the office and get it done! and you get your price."

Huh?!? im going with your car? NO WAY! i response them like i am not free, i need to pack and get ready to go oversea. Well...i didnt lie, i am really going to pack for KK and go "oversea" to Sabah :)

So after a while of denying to get into the car, another guy came and join the crowd. This is where i confirm this whole thing is a scam.

1st: Why is it now? i ask the phone number they say i need to follow them in order to make the coupon valid.

2nd: this guy talks like a gangster. and he stare at me like he is going to eat me.

Thats it. i rush inside the shell counter and complain this to the staffs and manager. Then i saw the unser drove off while i was complaining.

So everyone...you know what to do. please help to broadcast this event.
Protect your love ones.
