Bazaar Scam - Page 4

I have just filed a police report this morning as I have lost trust in the Kpopfiesta. I have given him numerous chance but there is still no sign he is refunding me back the money. I suggest anyone of you here still not be paid to file a police report.

Hi Janice,

I think you should stop your nonsense, first you said you call us and we didn't pick up. We don't even receive any missed call from any vendors previously. NO single 1!

2nd, we have made all the refund back to all the vendors already.

Could you let me know which JANICE you are?

If you said you didn't receive any refund. Can I KNOW WHO YOU ARE and list your contact no down?

Thanks

Finally.......to wait for a refund after 2 months...... think organiser got no choice here........vendors should use this platform to work together and so that we do not see this kind of organiser in future.

I was PM by 2 of the members recently regarding an event that was supposed to be held at Orchard Central from 1st-31st March 2013.

please be very very careful. There is an organiser by the name of Vivian going around informing vendors that she has an event at Orchard Central from 1-31st March 2013. Vendors who are interested are supposed to pay a 50% deposit and the balance can pay the organiser on that day itself. This has a possible scam all written over it.

1) Firstly, most organisers would collect the full payment to confirm the booking. It is very rare that an organiser allow vendors to pay the balance 50% on the day of the event itself unless you know the organiser personally and are a regular to all her events.

2) Secondly, Orchard Central management is very very strict in allowing external organiser to organise events there. All vendors products have to be strictly submit to them for approval before able to join any event there. This organiser is accepting all sorts of vendors products without asking for any photos of products from vendors.

Vendors who wish to participate in this event, please check with the management of Orchard Central before making any payment to this organiser. For vendors who have paid the deposit to the organiser, I STRONGLY suggest that you ask the organiser to show you proof or evidence that she has confirmed secure the venue for the event. If not, please ask for a refund from the organiser. Good Luck !

Kpopfiesta says have already refunded me but did not see any $ being credited back to my account. Asked him to check but no reply from him since then. I have finally lodged a police report against them..they leave me with no choice!

I FINALLY GOT MY REFUND. For the sake of those following up this thread, this is what happen:

Nov 05: Paid kopfiesta for vivocity event
Nov 08: They took down the thread so i enquire to check, they reply same day saying that they are still sorting out details
Nov 10: Request they put back the thread and indicate clearly that they are still sorting out the details. NO REPLY
Nov 13: Request for refund til they confirm the event as no reply from them. They reply same day saying will confirm in 1 week
Nov 18: Kpopfiesta email to inform cancel of event and asked for account for refund
Dec 05: Refund not receive yet so enquire on status
Dec 06: They reply say need to refund back jurong point event first
Dec 31: Enquire again as still no refund. I told them should not take so long to refund back jurong point. How many vendors they have???
Jan 01: Kpopfiesta reply saying still got few more refund before vivo refund!!
Jan 21: Still no refund from them so enquire and demanded that they settle my refund first
Jan 22: kpopfiesta say refund back to my account already but from OCBC to my bank and need few working days
Jan 30: Email them say i did not receive any, ask them to check
Jan 31: kpopfiesta reply say will check and get back
Mar 14: I email them again to check status as still no funds credited to my account and no reply from then since Jan31
Mar 20: No reply so far. So I email them again that no reply = police report and forum posting
Mar 21: Finally, I lost my patience with them. I lodge a police report at 5.30pm and post on forum on failure of refund from kpopfiesta much later the same night
Mar 22: They replied me and say have already credited to me few hrs/ days back..And i wonder, is few hours or few days? They do not know?

Copy and paste their words: "HI We have alrdy paid back to you alrdy few hrs/days back, please dun say thing we didnt, we make alrdy and it went to the wrong acc."

If it is the truth, why are they not replying and updating me via email?
And i just check my account, the $ has been credited and from the code, it should not be other bank transfer and which was just done the same day!
22 Mar 2013 ITR I-BANK kpopfiesta S$300.00

I guess the singapore police and the forum does the work.

Hope the other affected vendors will get their money back. Or had already gotten their money back. Good Luck!
