Don't go lucky plaza to buy things there, unless you know what you are getting!!
It never come across my mind that such incident will happen in Singapore, and the fact that there's nothing much we can do, but to be under the mercy of the merchants.
Went to this particular game shop located at Lucky Plaza, is happy to know such offers, but it turns out to be a "scam" from the shop. Merchandise is agreed to be paid at $450 but merchant swipe the VISA card and charge $790, without our acknowledgement. Thus, merchant's copy was not signed.
Out of anger, we left the shop without buying the item. However, the transaction still went through.
Shortly after the "failed" deal, we went to the nearest ATM to check the balance, but just to realise that the transaction is in process. Calls were made to the bank, the bank operator actually told me; there's nothing much they can do, and they can't stop the transaction. Even though i told them I didn't sign the merchant's copy.
Even though we notify the bank about this situation, we were asked to wait for 2 working days, for the merchant to reverse back the sum, as the bank cannot stop the transaction.
However, the merchant doesn't seems to have any integrity to reverse back the money. By third working day, the money is still not reversed. Bank should really improve their service, according to the person i spoke to, it will take 2 months for investigation. I wonder why didn't the bank freeze the amount, but continue with the transaction. Even the merchant didn't submit the merchant's copy.
The bank should really educate us how the Debit VISA card works! It seems to be more unsafe than NETs. For NETS, at least you can choose not to key in the pin # when you see the figures is not right! For VISA, be it you sign or didn't sign, the bank still process! Even you notify the bank about it.
Anyway, remember to ask the merchant's for the copy and keep the copies for reference.
After 7 days of waiting of news from the bank. I approached the shop directly to ask for the reverse of the full sum money, but the shop actually said its not their business practice to do so. They can only give me a refund of $510, instead of the full sum of $790, as $280 is for the work they had done for this failed deal.
After feeling itimidated by the merchants, we approached the police to act as the neutral party to the dispute.
Through the police conversation with the shop keepers, I realise that this shop had past records of the similar cases as mine. Attract the consumer with low price, but end up paying much more of the agreed price.
Anyway, the words of the people there is always flipping here and there. I guess they are "inter-linked" somehow. So be careful when you decide to shop there!!
