I sincerely would like to plead to all of you to investigate this "job scam" - SOLAR VISION NETWORKS.

My honour, what saddens me most is there were reports made "against" this company **YES! THIS SAME COMPANY** (please help go thro' your files & you'll find that the name is no stranger to all. See archieve folders etc) & yet the company is freely "scamming" around until today. I wonder what's the targetted "statistic" that is needed to achieve in order to put the culprit in jail & send stern warnings to ALL "so-called job agencies"

Like those who have reported; I too applied for "Data Entry" vacancy in The Star. I was then asked to come for an interview on 18 March 2008 (Sat, 10am). Interviewer: Nor Zulia Idayu informed that their company is tied in
with various companies ranging from contractors' firm; banking line, travel agencies etc etc.

She stressed that the reason why these companies are outsourcing rather than engaging own employees or even employing staff were because of the overhead cost, payment of EPF etc. Therefore companies would rather engage "THEM". On 17 March, I was informed of the good news that I was being selected (ie.confirmed) by this "Travel Agency". I was asked to pay RM182year (includes processing fees & DELIVERING my "from time-to-time" assignments to appointed companies). Since this amount includes "couriering services" FOR A YEAR; I find that it's a reasonable fees for them to earn too. Moreover, I was induced to believe from a sheet of paper that indicated the "appointed company" was a Travel Agency at nearby Bangunan Angkasaraya Jalan Ampang providing a basic salary RM350 for 40pages. Since, there is a confirmation on this; I made the payment.

After payment; she only mentioned that I need to wait for Customer Service (Azlan) to call me the following day on the full details (It was not her area to disclose further). No one called the following day (morning); six sense told me something was amiss already. After a few hard-to-get-thro calls, I managed to get Azlan but was told that someone from the compay will call me within the week. I asked since I was told that "this Travel Agency" needs someone URGENTLY; why am I supposed to wait a week. I added that at least by good faith can I at least know the company's name so that I need not glued to my handphone for 24hours!. He refused to give me any info & just asked me to wait. On the 8th day, I called. I was told the 1st company was having problem & will need to wait for 2nd/3rd company to call me (unsure when). I stressed I need to know the dateline which I'm sure he too would have given to the other company.. After much hesitation, he mentioned another week again.

I know I was in deep SHIT.. I went checking thro websites.. True enough I\'m NOT the ONLY or 1st VICTIM of SOLAR VISION NETWORKS.

My honour,

1. In your archive files, it was quoted "...reports have been made to the Police & Enforcement Division of Ministry of Domestic Trade for action..." but sadly dont see any YET

2. It was also quoted"... consumers are advised to counter check on the job agency..." but do enlighten us on "who" to check with? (to help future job-seekers)

My honour, my serial number on receipt shows 10958. (U need to quote the serial number  in order for the customer service to retrieve your file). Have U realised that they have scammed APPROXIMATELY RM1,994,356 ? Even if serial number starts at 10000, they have earned APPROXIMATELY RM174,356 by
doing nothing.

My honour, what hurts most was there were others after my Que. Some came with baby on one hand or children & others in shabby clothes (they are low income earners fighting hard for a meal on the table). I doubt they even
know that FOMCA, NCCC, Tribunals etc existed or even lucky to have internet access/computers to begin with.

My honour, "we" are just plain job-seekers who hopes to maintain (dont talk about increase) our standard of living... As for me, I need the "money" for MEDICATION.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help do justice for ALL

NCCC : We had brought this matter to the attention of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs many times but to date we are yet to see any serious affords from the Ministry to overcome this menace. To me all they have to do is check with the Companies Commision on the Directors of the company and take necessary action against them. The Ministry could also enforce the Trade Description ct 1972 against these companies for publishing misleading advertisements in the news papers offering jobs which does not exist. The Police on the other hand may want to look into S420 Penal Code and take necessary action for cheating. Until action is taken this scam will carry on. Consumers are advised not to believe these tryes of advertisements that offer jobs as Data Entry clerks.
