Hi Lordz, tried emailing you but I got error message (missanachrony@gmail). I only started feeling suspicious after Jasmine found loads of excuses to avoid meeting to hand us the hard copies of receipts and the contract. We only found out about other victims online last night. We've obviously past the 5 day cooling period as the transaction was made in July. Would like to see if she will even turn up with the hard copies, I may change my mind if this is real, but I seriously doubt it.

that is not my email.. my email is st3phhiie@gmail.com

Hi Shannatan,
Do u mean that u didn't receive the hard copy of contract & official receipt on the same day u signed the contract with LPI? Did they make u sign an authorization letter stated that the u agreed to swipe yr card & paid to Emperor Travel?

Okay I gave my bf 50% of the amt, he was the one who went down to sign. They promised to mail him a hard copy the next day. We promptly forgot about it since we had overseas business trips. Till about 3 weeks later, still nothing except a letter saying they moved(envelope was Cours Montreaux). I checked the bank and it said Emperor Travel, I was suspiscious as to why are there 3 company names so I googled and found myself here.

You need the contract to do anything against them. that is why this Jasmine is trying this tactic of taking back victims' contract. It happened before. One victim while negotiating for the cancellation and refund had his contract taken back by them and refuse to return back.

If you want to go to police, accuse them for taking your contract BY FORCE. that will be akin to robbing and police will take action.

Try sms them with message such as "you snatched my contract last night, please return it back!". Then tell the police that they snatch it by force!

Nope, he didn't sign anything with 'agreed to swipe yr card & paid to Emperor Travel' in it. Basically he signed thinking it'll be deducted by Lifestyle. And was wondering why was it Emperor only after the credit statement came.

My bf and I recently got cheated of 7k by a Lifestyle Pacific (Look for Lifestyle Pacific on facebook) and realised something was amiss only when the credit card transaction said Emperor Travel.

Paid on 6 July. In their office at Penang Road, swiped 2 cards (because maxed out limit), total 7k. Director and the salesperson Jasmine Ang ( type in facebook address, add a /MminminnAng or search for minmin ang) said will mail hard copy.

We waited ill end of July and still no news, so bf contacted Miss Ang but she kept blowing him off at least 3 times saying hospitalized, overseas trip. I suspected she's trying to drag. Said she's still overseas but when I called it's local ring tone. Of course nobody picked up. Received a letter saying their office moved to 20B Teck Lim Road. I took one look at the envelope (Cours Montreaux Pte Ltd), did a google and VIOLA! SCAM. *headdesk*

Last night, at 2am I sent her a very nasty whatsapp telling her she's irresponsible, this is unacceptable behavior and if I do not entertain fraudulent behavior. If she does not reply before 8am I will expect a full refund or see her in court. She called back IMMEDIATELY saying will meet today after work to pass receipt. I thought she was overseas? Hmm.

Scheduling a meeting in a public place (DON'T go to the den of lions FFS and do not tell her I'm accompanying him. I do not know whether or not she'll turn up or even pass the receipts, if not it's harder to make a case but we at least have the bank transactions.


Have lodged a report to CASE as well as CAD. Not much hopes in terms of taking back the money, but we would at least like to bring down these scammers so they don't continue their unethical methods.

Reply:
I am in the same shoe. Go get the bank to terminate payment. File a payment dispute with the bank using your police report. You might want to go to SCT.

I signed up on 26 July, and subsequently my friend told me about the scam and I read up all the comments from HWZ.
And did accordingly to the precious advise given. Many thanks !

I would like to find out, if any had encounter.

1) I send a registered mail within the 5 day cooling off period to cancel the agreement (it was then return back to me since no one claim the letter) Verbally I already told Tricia about the cancellation, and she say 7-10 days to process.

2) Subsequently had difficulty contacting her and she gave some excuses like sick or company retreat.

3) Anxiety build up, so I went to CASE, and was given 3 options, which I chose to go to SCT.

4) I went to SCT and filed a claim against LPI, I didn't inform Tricia about going to SCT as I feel that if she can refund me before the mediation, I would resolve the case.

5) After filing to SCT, she called me up asking me to wait another week before she confirm with me, subsequently she postpose another week again.

6) A day before SCT mediation date, she called and said why I never tell her I go to SCT, her boss now very angry and have problem refunding. Later she pass the phone to another lady, the lady say by right they have 60days to do the refund and I am not even up to 60 days and I filed to SCT. I told them I am unaware and it was Tricia who promise 7-10 days refund.

7) Now they are claiming that their boss is very unhappy and not intending to refund, even after explaining that I am unaware about the 60 days, the boss decided to refund 50% which is $3k. They even told me that, the boss is very sure that he no need refund me if go to SCT. But I still go ahead with the SCT.

8) During the mediation, the mediator didn't do much mediation, he only ask what LPI offered and what I expect. So I do not agree, and he just reschedule another appt which is the hearing if I am not wrong. The mediator also never ask if I want to wait till the 2 months is up. It was 5-10 mins only.

I mean is it possible that they do not refund me because I never wait till 60 days, even though they are the one who verbally promise a 7-10 days. I have the smses exchanged.

Regarding 6 and 7, I can assure you that it just their psychological trick playing on you.

What boss angry?!!!! What right does they have to be angry?!!! How much to refund or not to refund is decided by the scammer. Don't get it the other way round, they are the scammer and they still dare to be angry.

Tell them . We are ANGRY!!!

Don't worry, you will sure get back your money. Don't let them cheat you again. They are trying to make it seems like you agree to resolve with them outside SCT and accept 50% refund. Don't get play up by them. You should get 100% refund since you cancel before 5 days cooling period and you still have the proof.

Dear Victims of Jerry Tan Kim Huat,

Please stand firm and do not be intimidated by Jerry Tan's threat to take legal action against you just because you make a few posts in the internet telling the truth that he is a scammer and all the companies that he set up are just his vehicles to cheat. He has no proof that the posts were posted by you in the first place. don't worry. He will not win the case and will have to lose more money.
If you have cancelled within 5 days cooling period. Be firm and don't get cheated into accepting 50% refund by signing any forms with them. You deserve 100% refund and either SCT or the court can decide for you.
If he threaten to sue you for defamation, is just psychological trick. Threaten to get the media and puclish his name and new companies in the newspaper.
if you can't sue him, some other victims will sue him. We will see who sue who.
