Welley Corporation Watch

I’ve received an email from Wan regarding Wijaya Marketing Sdn Bhd operations in Klang. Wan’s email to me is as follows (minor spelling and grammar editing not affecting the overall information have been done):

Hi…

I too have been cheated by the wijaya company on the 8th of april 2006. Well…the story is exactly as written in the modus operandi in your website.

Basically….we bought 3 different products than what was initially offerred for the price of RM3576.93 by credit cards. The office is at:

Wijaya Marketing Sdn Bhd
1A Jalan Tapah,
Off Jalan Goh Hock Huat,
41400 Klang
Tel: 03-33426011

Agents name : Tan Seng Pu (IC: 880415-10-5065)

Well…i found out that this is a scam that same night after we bought those products!! We haven’t actually opened the boxes at all. Wish i had done some research prior to it.

Anyway… I have made a police report and complaint to the tribunal. I tried negotiating with the manager for full refund. But… they refused. They offered to refund RM2000 and we keep 2 products… mentioning that we might not even win in the tribunal hearing. I refused their offer….so, the tribunal hearing is on the 31 May 2006.

My questions are….How do i go about during the tribunal hearing? What should i mention and not mention? Should i just say that their products are of low quality and demand a refund. I was informed that the company’s licemce has expired, is it true? The manager actually told us that we were the ones who agreed to the terms and condition and no one actually forced us to buy those products? How do i respond to that remark?

I would be grateful if you could help me. Thank you.

My reply to Wan was as follows:

Hi Wan,

The scammers will never want to do a full refund. You must remember that their business plan is solely based on scamming. Doing business the proper way is not part of scamming.

Personally, my tribunal hearing is going to be on 12 June. So I have no personal experience on the hearing process itself. However, if you’d still like to have my advice, I’d suggest that you just relate your experience “as is”. Frankly, from the discussions on consumer.com.my regarding Wijaya Marketing, it seems that they never have a representative present during hearings. Remember that you are not the one who is doing an illegal activity. They are. So do not be afraid.

In fact, they already lost the case when they took your money. That is against Part V: Cooling Off Period Rescission of the Malaysian Direct Sales Act 1993 (downloadable here [PDF Document]). Don’t worry, Wijaya Marketing has a consistent track record in conducting scratch and win scams. Therefore, they’re the ones who will be having a hard time defending themselves.

I seek your permission to republish your email on Wijaya Watch. It will be useful for members of the public to know this information. Please tell me if you agree with this request.

But that’s not all, ladies and gentlemen. I got the following email from Wan not long after my reply:

hi…

Some update regarding my progress….they called me today…saying that they agree for full refund of RM3576 so, let’s see how it goes.

I’m planning to go to their office tomorrow with my husband and some frinds….hopefully it will be
straightforward and no more negotiations. I will let u know my progress. wish me luck.

oh yes…you can put my e-mail in wijaya watch, no problem.

bye

I’ve yet to receive an update from Wan. Hopefully she got her money back.

The moral of the story is, do not be afraid of filing complaints against Welley Corporation Sdn Bhd scamming subsidiaries like Wijaya Marketing and Sinuri Marketing. They are convicted criminals with a proven track record as scammers.
