pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 AIYAH... it was really Ah Soon's MEN! haha I just called Ah Soon and he told me that he didn't know that the men were here to inspect and because his phone was down in the afternoon, they couldn't get him and couldn't get us too... So they told the neighbour that the pipes needed to be done and not that the pipes had to be done TODAY... but I guess there was some miscommunication there.. But it's kinda scary to think how easily one can be scammed isn't it... So glad that it's nothing. Luckily, Ah Soon went to check for me. mmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pinkpetter 0 Report post Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) ah? no la it won't. Ah Soon was here very late last night to inspect but it was so late he didn't tell us. He thought that only the electricals needed to be moved... but he told his men to check out the water pipes... they came without informing him nor us cos they thought that the pipes are outside anyway. According to the workers the pipes also need to be moved but it's a couple of hours work so no biggie. Not too concern about the reno process. I'm more concerned about getting this approval thing done quickly... mm Edited May 12, 2009 by pinkpetter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salah number huh...... pink: luckily ur neighbour alert. the scammers also gave a lame reason unless ur whole house went overseas la Yes it was a false alarm.. hehehe But it does show that it's easy for someone to just try to bluff their way through like that. Dunno why the workers say that we went overseas though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
