Just in time!

Thank God for blogs. Thank God for good friends!

Hubby and me were caution in the nick of time by our dear friend, Lynn for the makerover by "Naughty by Nature" studio.

She was on msn with me and then cautioned me coz she got a similar call as well and minutes later, her colleagues got it too, does not seem like a gift from 'lucky draw' then!

So I went to do an online search and manage to find a forum about this studio, but sucks, my co banned it coz of the firewall so I asked hubby to read it and see what it says...

Below, is the extract posted by 1 of the people who fell for it and wrote to caution the rest of the world. People like MOI!

"Was dragged by my wife to a makeover photo shoot last Sunday after she got a call from a photo studio saying the photo shoot is free. Please be warned that this photo studio functions like one of those time-share companies. Yes the photo shoot is free, but after the session, they want you to sign up for a package that cost more than $2k, else you can only select two free photos from the many shot
if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have says:
If you don’t sign up for their package, they will delete all your photos taken (besides the two you selected) right in front of your eyes! Even if you offer to buy additional photos from them, they will refuse and insist you either buy the whole package or choose only two free photos. Imagine spending 4 hours of your time with them and having all your photos deleted right before your eyes after your eyes after you refuse to by their package.

So people beware when you got a call from a tele-marketer telling you they offer you a free makeover photo shoot. This photo studio got your contact information from others who have signed up for the package. They will tell those who have signed up to recommend other friends or relatives and in return, those who recommend others receive some form of return, those who recommend others receive some form of cash back.

The photo studio is located near Clark Quay."
I want to give credit to the person who wrote this but unfortunetly, I have no idea who. All I can say, it's some poor soul who got cheated of their precious time on Sunday!

Wah!! Thank God for forums too! V blessed that Lynn cautioned me in time and I had internet access and Thank God for ppl who are not afraid to write it out!

So, conclusion? We are going home for dinner!
