KAMI NAK OFFER VOUCHER HOTEL PERCUMA

"Go on.. go on.. with hope.. in your heart.. and you'll never walk.. alone.."

"You'll never walk.. alone.."

Handphone aku berbunyi. Kelihatan nombor dekat skrin tu adalah nombor yang aku tidak kenal dan tidak tersenarai dalam contact list aku.

"Eh, sapa pulak ni ?", detik aku dalam hati

Aku pun angkat, "Hallo" - suara macho, keras dan kasar

"Hello..", suara perempuan - lemak, merdu dan bersopan santun bunyi nya

"Ya ?", aku jawab dengan tonasi bertanya

"Encik, saya daripada syarikat bla bla bla (dirahsiakan). Boleh berikan saya lima minit ?", lembut suara nya memujuk aku

"Untuk apa ?"

"Nombor telefon encik telah terpilih dan syarikat kami nak menawarkan encik voucher percuma penginapan 2 hari, 1 malam di hotel2 terpilih", terang suara lembut itu

"Encik boleh datang ke syarikat kami bla bla bla (dirahsiakan) untuk ambil voucher tersebut", sambung suara lembut itu lagi

"Takpe lah.. saya tak berminat", tegas aku

"Voucher ini percuma encik, tak perlu bayar apa2", pujuk suara lembut itu lagi

"Saya tak berminat", tegas aku lagi

"Rugi lah encik... voucher ini percuma", cuba memujuk lagi

"Ye la.. bila saya nak dapatkan voucher tu nanti, saya kena pergi ke tempat awak. Lepas tu dengar ceramah yang ejen2 awak berikan. Lepas tu diorang akan pujuk saya untuk subscribe service syarikat awak yang harganya puluh2 ribu tu semata2 untuk dapatkan kad discount kalau nak bercuti ke hotel2 tertentu. Yang mana, saya pun belum tentu akan guna kan. Kemudian, baru lah saya boleh dapat voucher percuma awak tu. Bila saya nak gunakan nanti, semua hotel2 tu penuh belaka. Yang ada kosong dan boleh guna voucher tu cuma hotel2 yang ntahapehapetah. Itu pun kena guna time weekdays saja. Sebab tu lah saya kata saya tak berminat", panjang lebar aku cakap pada cik adik suara lembut tu

"Err.. ok lah kalau macam tu, terima kasih", terus cik adik suara lembut tu letakkan telefon.

UNWELCOME CALL II

(Cartoonstcok.com)



"Go on.. go on.. with hope.. in your heart.. and you'll never walk alone.. you'll never walk.. alone.."

My handphone rang to the tune of "You'll Never Walk Alone" - Liverpool FC anthem..

Me : "Huh! siapa pulak yang call time-time mengular ni..".

I picked up the call..

Me : "Halo..". answered with my usual stern hard voice
Caller : "Can I speak to En Pala?"
Me : "Ya"
Caller : "I am calling from a syarikat insurance (nama sebenar dirahsiakan)".
Me : "Emm.."
Caller : "Since Encik is a good customer to Astro, we are going to offer an insurance pakage to you.."
Me : "Currently, saya dah ada insurance.. buat apa nak ambik lagi ?".
Caller : "Encik, boleh berikan saya lima minit untuk berikan penerangan ?".
Me : "OK. 5 minit"
Caller : "OK. There are 2 packages yang kita nak offer pada Encik. Yang pertama, coverage sehingga RM30K for six months dan tidak perlu bayar premium apa2. Kami terus activatekan untuk Encik.."
Me : "Emm.. Ya"
Caller : "2nd package, coverage up to half a million but this one come with small monthly payable. The benifits.. bla.. bla.. bla.. bla..". He stressed on the word half a million

He kept explaining on and on and on.. I was patiently listening but not really paying any attention to it. I just kept answering "Ya..", "Emm.." & "OK.." to kept the conversation alive.

Caller : "bla.. bla.. bla.. bla.. . So, macamana Encik ? Do you want me to registerkan untuk you for the 2nd package ? There is no obligation or what so ever"
Me : "Emm.."
Caller : "Package ini bagus.. walaupun Encik dah claim dengan your first insurance, you can claim it again with us dengan hanya providing the photostate copy of the bills"
Me : "Sorry. saya tak nak membebankan my financial situation.."

But he kept trying his luck to push the deal thru..

Caller : "Not many insurance company yang offer macam ni. Normally, mereka akan minta original bill untuk tujuan tuntutan. Dengan kami, hanya perlukan photostate copy sahaja"
Caller : "Maknanya, Encik boleh buat double claims. Dan, kalau company Encik sudah cover, kami akan bayar juga.."
Me : "Tadi you kata 'no obligation' kan ?"
Caller : "Yes. But this is a good offer for you..". Kept trying on his luck..
Me : "You kata 'no obligation'.. so, saya kata saya tak nak sign up.. "

I stayed firmed to my decision.. and he gave up. Possibly trapped with his own word of 'no obligation'.

Caller : "OK then. If that is the case, I just sign you up for the first package. We will send you the document once ready".
Caller : "Thank you for your time.."
Me : "OK".

He hung up the phone..

Until today (it is already about a month or so), I haven't received any kind of document for the so call 'free insurance coverage of RM30K for six month'!

Thanks.. but no thanks. Your call are not welcome.

Lesson learned : Promoter will say anything to persuade Buyer to buy, but in the end we (Buyer) should evaluate and stay firm with our decision..

Mystery caller

Me : "Ya ?"
Mystery caller : "Err.. ini Encik Pala Maldini ke ?"
Me : "Ya. saya"
Mystery caller : "Saya memanggil daripada Menara Kuala Lumpur. Kami menguruskan penghantaran ...... (sound blurr.. tak dengar sangat apa yang dihantarnya)"
Me : "Iya. Ada apa ?"
Mystery caller : "Encik masih menggunakan kad kredit ?"
Me : "Ya"
Mystery caller : "Encik gunakan Visa atau Mastercard ? Daripada bank mana ?"
Me : "Mana you dapat nombor saya ?"
Mystery caller : "Kami cuma ada nombor dan nama saja. Daripada recommendation.."
Me : "Emm.."
Mystery caller : "Boleh saya tahu, Encik gunakan Visa atau Mastercard daripada bank mana ?"
Me : "Kalau saya tak mau jawab ?"
Mystery caller : "Terpulang pada Encik la.."
Me : "Saya tak mau jawab.."
Mystery caller : "Terpulang la.." toott..toott..toott.. she hung up

I had been receiving this kind of call lately. This is the 2nd time. The 1st one is from a guy. May be they thought that I would be 'cair' if the caller would be a lady. That's why they try again. They are calling from 016x number. I don't know what they are up to but my approached to this kind of call is simple. You don't waste my time, I won't waste yours. I will listen and not respond to any query that requires me to provide any of my personal info.. on the phone!

Thanks for calling! Your call are not welcome..

Note : I wonder what is their motive here!
