I was a victim of Wijaya Marketing Sdn. Bhd. The incident happened on 11th April 2006. I was at home when a youth in his 20s rang my doorbell and wanted to conduct a survey. I agreed because surveys are an important part of business and surveyors aren’t usually given enough respect for their work.
I won’t go through what happened afterwards. My story, like many others, are documented in this page.
I’m motivated to create Wijaya Watch because after the incident, I found out that this scheming fraudsters have been doing this for quite some time. Yet, stories relating to them are usually buried in pages upon pages of maintream newspapers. It’s about time they get the real exposure they deserve: as conniving, scheming fraudsters.
For those who got conned by Wijaya Marketing; my advise is don’t get angry, get even! Refer to this page; Steps You Can Take When Victimised by Wijaya Marketing, for more information.
You can help by linking to Wijaya Watch from your web sites or blogs. You can also inform your friends and family members about Wijaya Watch. In addition, I welcome any information you have on Wijaya Marketing in your area. Send your emails to wijayawatch@gmail.com.

Hi,
kata ’supervisor’ Josch “satu orang pencuri tak mungkin semua pencuri”: which means jangan label semua org sama. tapi dalam kes wijaya marketing (WM) ni I rasa semua rep/supervisor/officer WM pencuri. Bodohnya waktu tu my common sense agreed to the ’supervisor’. Saya ni bukan org senang mana ada duit nak beli barang yang sampay RM2997. So bayarle deposit Rm200. paling minima dah tu. Tergerak pulak hati nak tengok website… jumpa this web. Alamak!!!! Tipah tertipu lagi!
So friends, do you think it’s worth the efford to make a police report and tribunal just to get back my RM200. I rasa bukan money factor yang I nak tekankan tapi etika consumer is always right. kalu ornag dah tak jadi beli kenalah pulang balik duitnya tak gitu? I dah phone banyak kali tapi masih tak de apa yang positif dapat.
Okeylah. dapat balik duit satu hal. Ni I nak war2 kan penyangak yang takde idung tu biar satu dunia mengutuk dan matilah dalam hina:

Mama,
It’s not really the money that’s the point. The thing is, what these people from Wijaya Marketing and Welley Corporation is criminal in nature and thus should be publicised.
I urge you to make police and Tribunal reports ASAP. If everyone turns a blind eye to these cheats, then we’re contributing to their growth.
Why not contribute to their destruction instead and make sure these scammers pay the price.
Ril,
I’ll email you to get more information. I’d like to see the location of this Sinuri Marketing.
Don’t get angry… get even! Follow the guide published here on how to get your money back.

All ladies and gentlemen please refer Berita Harian Rabu 26 April 2006 page B8 section Nasional ” Sindiket gores ‘tak menang’ , ejen tersilap tawarkan kad kepada pegawai penguatkuasa KPDNHEP”. As i’m reading it I believe this is the work of Welly Corporation, stated in this article KPDNHEP will charged them under Akta Pelindungan Pengguna 1999 . If they convicted guilty they will be fined RM 250,000.00 or 3 years jail or both. I think this is still not enough…

(I don’t know where to post this) Hi, I live in the USA and yesterday my parents called me from KL to tell me that they lost RM6000 to these criminals. I was in shock, disbelief and angry at the same time. How can you not smell a scam right away? Maybe Malaysians are too trusting and inexperienced to these kind of schemes. I’ve had actors at my door too and I love wasting their time while messing with their minds.. then I finally tell them that I’m flat broke!
I can’t believe the authorities haven’t taken serious action yet. I’m sure they are in violation of more than one law. These people MUST end up in jail and this example has to be made public in all the major newspapers. It’s the only way to protect the community by keeping future scammers away while educating the community.
Act now I say! Power to the consumers!

I always thot how easily some people get conned until I myself was nearly a victim! It happened exactly like u related - a youth in his 20s approached me at my main gate & wanted to conduct a survey. Then got to the part of scratching & the win. Since I didn’t let him into my house yet, he has to find an excuse of gaining entry. So he said his handphone battery was down & requested to use my house phone to call his supervisor. Thank goodness at that point in time my husband came home & ushered me into the house leaving the youth behind.
Now I’m always wary of people conducting surveys whether genuine or otherwise.
What can we as consumers do to enable the authorities to take serious action against these bastards?
I would encourage you to publicise this in the major newspapers especially the steps to take when being victimised.

Hi..I don’t know if Penzone Marketing is in any way related to Wijaya Marketing..Haiz..I’ve been conned too.Just about 2 weeks ago my hubby was first approached by these conmen at JB Extra supermarket with their so-called scratch and win tickets.I guess what happened next were the same as the rest of us who got conned or almost did get conned by them.So we ended up paying by credit card about RM3k plus.I’m exasperated and eager to get even with those scoundrels.I hope I’m still not too late to logde a police report and complaint to Consumer Tribunals.Just wondering why the company is still in operation even after many complaints were lodged against them? Any clues?Btw, i’m not a Malaysian so I hope I could still get help from the Malaysians here. i.e Consumer Tribunals.
