Sim Lim Square has always been known to be a land of scam retailers. If you are not a tech guru and you go there and buy stuff is like asking to put your head on the chopping board.
A woman bought a “TV BOX” from Sim Lim Square and realised an additional payment was required to watch shows. After getting the box home a message appeared at the top of the screen saying that it is locked and she must pay the reseller/scammer $90 to use the device.
In this day and age, it is still surprising we have people using “TV boxes”, want try cassette or LD?
The woman then tried to get a refund but the shop was unwilling to return her the money.
Anyway, this is what the victim said:
Very angry, SIM Lim Square – TV box scam again? How can cheat people money like this. Buy the TV because cannot go out during COVID so stay home watch TV. Now not one year of buying the TV box then seller give such excuse to ask for $90 top up before can use. Then when ask for full refund, they say cannot.
Is this consumer goods scam? Which authority I should seek help and stop these despicable seller. Please help many of my friends buy from these store and now we need to get back our money. They are dishonest.
