SKYjack — Sat, 12 Oct 2024 11:34:15 +0800

Need a city drive car. Just to market and eating out purpose. Dont need to consider outstation drive. Not too big but reasonable space to carry items at the back with fold down seats. I am a retire, only me & wife.

Considering Ativa and waiting for the launch of Perodua Nexus. Am told Nexus is slightly bigger, may be more suitable. However i do like the height of the Ativa. Welcome comments. Tks!

Investment scam

SKYjack — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 10:33:43 +0800

This is an investment company - Vascory PLC. Company office at Menara Amcorp, Petaling Jaya.

I invested RM2Mil with this company on their Redeemable Cumulative Preference Shares on a 10% ROI in 2016. The period of investment was 5 years. 5 years has lasped & mutually agreed by the Vascory CEO & myself on the return of invested capital.

Its now 3&1/2 years since expiry of investment period, the CEO only keeps promising on redemption of my investment. Everytime I ask or see him personally, he promises to return my investment, but i never get the money.

Before jumping into taking legal action, I would like to know if there is any other way to get my money back from this company. Are there any government agencies that could help citizens in this matter.

Used X1 or used V40 CC

Appreciate feedback on BMW X1 and Volvo V40CC. Cost of maintennace ,spare parts & anything?

Both cars 2014,priced $90K+/-. Volvo being a hatchback handles way better and has a more powerful engine. On the other hand, I have a very good BMW mechanic and spares are cheaper!

Tourist Guide - travel agent Co.

SKYjack — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 07:33:48 +0800

This Co. is in Kajang. They advertise very good tour packages. Its usually taken up,sold out.

I booked a 11D Eastern + Central tour for 3 and paid full already. Travel date 2nd March. Flight tickets & tour details were to be provided to customers 30days before departure.

Nothing has come to me. I contacted them last week and was told tour details are being finialized. Yesterday i tried to contact them,but could not,no answer. They dont reply messages.

Getting very suspious. Today am planning to go over to their office. I suspect fraud. If it is fraud,what steps should i take.
