CAD investigates The Gold Guarantee

Happy Chinese New Year folks! While the whole nation celebrates, the Year of the Snake is NOT in favour for The Gold Guarantee. Recent news reported that CAD is investigating on them. Tell tale signs from the media that the man behind The Gold Guarantee has A LOT to hide; although not as smart to run as fast as Jerry Tan Kim Huat, the King of Evaders. Will not say more, just here for a short message to spread the following GOOD news to all victims:


News in chronological order:


For all victims affected by Lee Song Teck's companies, read: CAD's FAQs on The Gold Guarantee

It will make more sense if CAD Singapore can initiate cross border collaborative efforts to completely nail down this syndicate.

Ah....is there a 'little' light for Cours Montreux Group of Companies' victims? I hope CAD can eventually trace the 'link' to Jerry Tan Kim Huat. Let's see if the Snake can bring them down.



*sipping red wine..... cheers to Mr Lee & Mr Tan :D

Timeshare scam king 'discloses' customer contact details to gold investment scam king

I am talking about victims of Cours Montreux International, i-Discover International, Discovery VIII International and Crown Holiday Exchange name lists being 'sold' to Lee Song Teck by Jerry Tan Kim Huat. 

Oh yea, you hear it first from me and this is no BS because I hold the evidences. 

Next, I am suspecting the same fate for the new customers from Star Privileges and Lifestyle Pacific International. Perhaps even to old customers from Emperor Travel.

Now that the new scam set up - The Discovery Group, is under CASE's consumer alert list, Jerry Tan Kim Huat and Lee Song Teck have been cracking their brains. Oh ho ho ho.....they are now using another of Lee Song Teck's companies to scam scam scam victims with their gold investment scheme.

And so, I wish to warn all you people out there..... *drum roll*........

The name of this company now harassing the public is called  Asia Pacific Bullion Pte Ltd (201203007R). It is said to be owned by Lee Song Teck, but I will verify that later. And guess what? Operating from the same address as The Discovery Group. See how the pieces of info are now coming into place to reveal a syndicate??

And better still, Asia Pacific Bullion is also on MAS Investor Alert List. Same s*** happening with The Gold Guarantee Singapore. Why? Cos they are all operated by scam kings. Timeshare king colluding with gold investment scam king. Singapore biggest scam kings la! ****TWO THUMBS UP****  Click to refer to my earlier post for more info

So people, you will be getting calls from a company called AP Services, operating from Key Point. Their callers are on blocked numbers, the same unscrupulous tactic from all Jerry Tan & Co. Emperor Travel days.

My friend received the call. Preparing to bring them down.



ps- How to tell the same people doing the same s***? Too plain obvious la from here:

http://thegoldguarantee.com.sg/about-us/
http://www.asiapacificbullion.com/about
http://www.sgpreciousmetals.sg/



pps -  Sorry Mr Lee Song Teck for dragging your name down. Because you are now connected to Mr Jerry Tan Kim Huat, it leaves me no choice but to warn the public. I have been tracking Mr Tan since December 2011 and I have evidences in hand that points to his fraudulent activity for the longest time. And you, are deploying very similar tactics. To sum up, I deduce with the law of attraction. It's not a good thing you are hanging around with Mr Tan.

And the Singapore scam continues with Starz Privileges and Lifestyle Pacific International

It has been quite a few months I last posted about Cours Montreux International. Today, I have an urge to hit on them again.

Oh yea, these guys are really f***ing themselves up. With all the name changing, and playing musical addresses..... I wonder if  something f***ed up for them?

If any victims have signed an agreement with whichever crap scam listed company below....
1. Discovery VIII International
2. i-Discover International
3. Cours Montreux International
4. Crown Holiday Exchange
5. The Discovery Group Singapore

And now with all the name changing to Starz Privileges and Lifestyle Pacific International, just check if there are any inconsistencies with the details in your agreement against whatever they claim and send you in terms of new company name, addresses and asking you to pay up or pay more. Perhaps you can ask them to piss off and stand a chance in voiding that bloody agreement. :)

Nothing much to write about them. *YAWNZZZZZZ* This post is to gain top spot in search engine results for anyone searching for Starz Privileges and Lifestyle Pacific International.

Psst..... btw, any victims, please feel welcome to post all updates about their company name changes and addresses here. It will greatly help those new victims who recently signed up. Thanks to all those who contributed.

Cheers!!!

The Discovery Group Pte Ltd getting a bad name

Subsequent to CASE advisory on The Discovery Group Pte Ltd being published on CASE's website, this piece of news have been announced by the media and relevant bodies to warn the public about their unscrupulous tactics.


The following links I picked up warning about The Discovery Group are as follows:
Singapore Law Watch

Straits Times
Today Online
Mediacorp

I noticed yet another cunning tactic about The Cours Montreux International group of companies. Try Googling: The Discovery Group, you will find a list of overseas incorporated companies bearing the same name. I believe it IS NOT co-incidental but yet another of their diversion (or misleading) tactic to bait the old, new and potential victims. Definitely for a purpose to their advantage.


For Mr Jerry Tan Kim Huat to be connected to WHOEVER, I'd be more cautious. There's a lot more I know, but I shall just select one 'safe' piece of information to share with the public: BT: Beware “Gold Buy Back” companies


To all victims, avoid all of The Discovery Group people if they start contacting you. Ask them all to go to hell. DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING AND PAY THEM 'EXTRAS'. You owe them nothing and should not bear the burden of their so-called 're-structuring' exercise that is out to scam you. It is all BULLSHIT with EMPTY promises. While you may be bound by The Discovery VIII and iDiscover agreements (or the rest of their scam companies' agreements), ignoring their lawyers too cannot harm you. It is very obvious these bunch of unprincipled with no conscience scums have found loopholes in the Consumer Fair Trading Act and amended victims' agreements as such to their advantage. Enforcement bodies will just say 'you are bound by the agreement'. I think that you can choose to ignore your next 50% payment  to them (or whatever else they threaten to extort more from you) in view of all the negative publicity they have been generating. Stop your credit/ debit card installments to them once your first 50% is fully paid up to the bank/ debit card company.


If they threaten you to go to court, I believe every victim is on a 'winning end'.  I  have been shown evidences that is strongly confirming that they are already fraudulent. Get a good lawyer and they will chicken out to open their accounts to show the courts.


For all those victims of The Discovery Group, Cours Montreux International, Discovery VIII International, iDiscover International and Crown Holiday Exchange Pte Ltd who have not lodged their report with CASE, please do so soonest possible at your most convenient time. I encourage more people to report to CASE so that CASE will have enough cases to issue them warnings and eventually to take action against them.


I understand that some victims were 'blackmailed' by The Discovery Group people by way of asking victims to 'withdraw' their complaints with CASE if they want to get their refund. Do not be cheated. Report any 'threats' immediately to CASE. I heard that they more often made false promises than actually fulfill promises to victims.


As for people who are currently unemployed and interested for a job, I hope you have done enough homework on The Discovery Group if you were initially interested in applying. PLEASE, do not be desperate and work for such companies.  Look some place else if you have more conscience. Analyse carefully; a good company will have plenty of good comments, a proper website with full background information and a good track record with the public.

CASE advisory on The Discovery Group Pte Ltd

Finally, Discovery VIII's unscrupulous tactics is slowly coming to CASE's attention. To all those victims who are caught in the same situation, please lodge your complaint with CASE. Every case lodged is a little step closer to bringing them down. Here's CASE's consumer alert for those who are unaware:


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



Consumer Alerts

7 June 2012 NEW

Consumer Alerts – June 2012: CASE advisory on The Discovery Group Pte Ltd
From February 2012 till date, CASE received cases from at least 11 consumers with regards to the contracts they signed with The Discovery Group Pte Ltd. The said 11 consumers have asked CASE to help them cancel their contracts with The Discovery Group Pte Ltd. Considering that the Discovery Group Pte Ltd was incorporated in Singapore only in February 2012, this is an alarming trend that CASE would like to highlight to consumers.
According to what CASE understand from the affected consumers, they have existing timeshare contracts with another company and were told about one or more of the following*:
  1. There is "corporate restructuring"
  2. The Discovery Group Pte Ltd is now the parent company of the company whom they purchased the existing timeshare contract from
  3. The Discovery Group Pte Ltd is taking over the existing contract / company whom they purchased the existing timeshare contract from
  4. The Discovery Group Pte Ltd can help to waive off balance payment under the existing contract
  5. The Discovery Group Pte Ltd can help to terminate the existing contract and recover monies / The Discovery Group Pte Ltd can recover monies under the previous contract
  6. AND
    A new contract has to be signed and fees have to be paid to The Discovery Group Pte Ltd.
*Note: The list is not exhaustive.
Fees paid range from $200 to $7000.
CASE would like to remind consumers to exercise prudence especially when they are dealing with companies that claim to handle their existing timeshare contracts for them for a fee.

In addition, we urge consumers to take time to evaluate any company or business which initiated contact and offer attractive solutions to their problems. In particular, consumers should check how long the company or business has been in existence and their track record in settling consumers’ problems in the ways offered or described. So far, CASE has not heard of any successful termination by timeshare-related companies. When in doubt, consumers should not sign any contract or agreement or make any payment. It would be best not to visit the company’s or business’ premises alone.

Should consumers require our assistance with their timeshare or timeshare-related membership(s), they can speak to one of our Consumer Relations Officers by either calling our hotline at  6100 0315 between 9 am and 5 pm from Mondays to Fridays and between 9 am and 12 noon on Saturdays or visiting us at our Ghim Moh office between 9 am and 4 pm from Mondays to Saturdays, excluding Public Holidays.

Look out for our latest advisories, warnings and alerts here!

iDiscover International Scam - The same Cours Montreux Scam

iDiscover International appears to be the predecessor of Cours Montreux International. Of late, the same bastards who operate both Cours Montreux and iDiscover International have new tricks up their sleeves again. 

ACRA business profile records reveals iDiscover International and Cours Montreux are NOT related to each other, but Jerry Tan Kim Huat is their sole director. From the eyes of those affected, and based on their modus operandi, they are definitely managed by the same bullies. The latest news is out that iDiscover International has undergone corporate restructuring. And the most shocking part is they are making new T&Cs in the already one-sided iDiscover membership agreement to suit their taste. Pig's arse!

iDiscover International is now FORCING a membership transfer fee of $7,000 wef 1st April 2012 on all the iDiscover victims who signed the agreement with them. What shocking nonsense! Their excuse is that there is a change in business ownership and that THE NEW COMPANY, THE DISCOVERY GROUP PTE LTD shall continue extorting money from the poor victims. 

And if some of the victims think they are obligated to pay this transfer fee, I don't think they are. If you are one of them, don't let their gang mislead you anymore nor be intimidated by their lawyer. Tell your parents, family, aunts, uncles, relatives, friends and everyone else it is their new extortion tactic. If you have been following closely and studying all the evidences lying around them, you can very well tell their lawyers to F*** off. The law of attraction here is, iDiscover = Cours Montreux = Discovery VIII or Discovery 8 = The Discovery Group = (maybe more) = Their lawyers** 

I smell a big rotten rat coming in their new corporate restructure. It seems to me they are trying to clean up any obvious shit from enforcement authorities.

To all the victims out there, DO THE RIGHT THING. You have to start putting trust in CASE. All those people in public forums who have mislead or claim that CASE cannot help, I clearly know why that is happening. If 50% of the victims diligently lodged their complaints (no matter how big or small) with CASE over the decade, these wankas would have already ceased operations. The true fact is, majority of victims are reluctant or lacked knowledge of their consumer rights to come forward. If you are dealing with true law evaders, such reluctance and their preying on the weaker population is to their advantage. And this lets them run loose for the longest time, creating more damage to the entire public. Please, do the right thing. Lodge your complaints today.


**P.s. They appointed a crappy lawyer who cannot write for nuts. So DON'T BE AFRAID.
