pwnt. Totally pwnt. See what I meant? I hope that newspaper will hit a nail onto everyone's head. GET IT IN YOUR THICK SKULL!!! In my previous post, which I said about the gangster trying to force us into buying some pen that might not even work? Yup. It is all true, TRUEE!!! They are bogus. You don't know what bogus means? Go check on the dictionary.
Today's Newpaper, 17th December 2008, had a page with those big headlines :
"Please buy pen to help poor families " - The Reality : Money goes to them & company
I'll quote some paragraphs from inside :
"Buy a pen or mechanical pencil for $2 to help a needy or low-income family. That was the pitch that four teenagers made to passer-bies at an MRT station last month. However, The New Paper had learnt that they are not collecting on behalf of a charity. THey are working for a direct-selling company. "
"When The New Paper met the company's administrator Ms Sonya, 21 , she said that the teenagers were authorised to sell the items to raise money to help low-income families and families of ex-prisoners. She said the teens recieved half the proceeds as commision, while the rest was used for the company's administrative costs and to help families who approached 3BS (3 Consultary Services) for help. "
Now look at this :
"However, when The New Paper met up with the company's other director, Mr Mahthi , 29 , He has a different story to tell. He initially said part of the sales proceeds to the needy people, after deductions for sales commisions, stock perchases, printing and other administrative costs. He later said that the proceeds, after the cost of deductions, went to the teenagers as they were from low-income families and were selling the items to raise money for themselves."
"Mr Mahthi faxed a copy of the form to The New Paper but it was different from what the teens used to show the people, but he insisted it is the same."
Tips from the NCSS on what to do when faed with fund raisers :
SEE! I TOLD YOU I WASN'T LYING ABOUT BASTARDS SELLING PENS AT MRT STATIONS. ANYONE WHO BOUGHT FROM THEM ARE DUMBASSES WHO CAN'T SEE THROUGH THEIR THICK SKULL THAT SAYS " I AM LYING BUAHAHA"
My thoughts now are : through this incident, I'm sure they wont be out on the stations again to sell pens. If i see them again, a police call will be a must.

Tips from the NCSS on what to do when faed with fund raisers :
- Ask for Collector's Certificate of Authority (CCA). The CCA bears the organisation's stamp, details of the event and particulars of the collector. Each collector must produce the CCA upon request
- Check that the CCA states the date and places of collection as well as the organisation and/or beneficiary.
- Check on licensed fun-raise events on these websites : www.ncss.org.sg and www.spf.gov.sg/licence/frameset_HH.html.
- Do a search on the Charities Portal www.charities.gov.sg or call the Charity Hotline at 6354 8543 to verify the status of the charity
- Lodge a police call if the fun raisers are bogus
