Another Kena Conned Case!!

Few weeks ago, my colleague told me he placed a deposit of RM500 to book a unit at this XX Condo in Selayang, from developer Mxxx. Pxxx. Sdn Bhd. Actually he has not decide whether to buy or not but due to the discount for early birds and also the sales person said deposit are refundable, he just booked first la, no harm mar...

After he did some research and asked from ppl that stayed in condo (me la. hehe..), he decided not to buy condo as there's a lot of rules and regulations need to be followed. He called to cancel and asked for the refund. Guess wat happened?? The sales person told him that the RM500 are not refundable!!! WHAT!! that day say can refund, now say cannot? The sales person then explained that, oh, the boss just changed the rules!!

Have you guys heard such thing b4? Changed the rules? It's a con case lah!! How can you just changed the rules like that? RM500 is not a small amount leh..It's like they are forcing ppl to buy their unit like that... My colleague then called the boss, and the boss said, oh ya, rules had been changed, but will TRY TO APPEAL, call back one month later lar.. and then the chasing game began, called boss, calls being transfered to B, then B said should called C, C said should asked the boss....

So far, i have friends that booked then asked for refund, all refunded without any problem. This is the first time i heard that deposit are not refundable!! I asked him to keep calling and keep pressuring them in order to get back the RM 500, if still no reply, go to the office personally and talk face to face with the boss. The best is in front of all other buyers, let them know something is not right happening!!

Not con lah. Ask u fren report to police or minitry of housing development dept then bring all docs to them.. sure can get the refund. Ask the sales ppl give a letter that can't refund or any black/white shown can't refund..

well, tat's the problem. there's no black and white to prove that can be refund or cannot be refund. So my friend cannot prove that the sales person said can be refund, this is between they themselves..

so next time, if there's any deposits involved, must remember to get black and white stated can be refund or so.. if not very very troublesome!!
