If it sounds it is too good to be true, then it might be not what you think, after all.
In only four months, the National Consumer Complaints Centre (NCCC) received about 400 complaints over deal sites that have sprouted over the last year or so.
According to the centre's deputy director, K. Ravin, about 61% of the complaints, filed between
September and December last year, were about product quality.
Other complaints included misleading information and problems of delivery and refunds.
Ravin said that NCCC had received many complaints of misleading information on prices, especially for beauty and spa packages.
The penalties for contravening this legal provision are stiff corporate entities can be fined up to RM250,000 for a first offence and up to RM500,000 for subsequent offences.
Individuals can be fined not more than RM100,000 or jailed up to three years, or both, for a first offence. They can be fined not more than RM250,000, jailed up to six years, or both, for subsequent offences.
So becareful folks, don't act out of your mind. Beware.
