if i am being cheated in online magic shop? what should i do? thanks

Sorry to hear about your problem.

If you are going to buy something online, buy from a reputable dealer.
That's the cold hard truth about giving your money to any online tom dick and harry with some web designing skills.

I buy my stuff from the Magic Annexe's Magic Shoppe. Anslem has ready available stock most of the time and I can walk in and get the stuff I want to buy.

What action you take is really up to you. I suppose it depends on how much money is involved. Best wishes.

i can say that it is quite a BIG amount. one of his assistant promise to refund me the latest mid november. this website i bought from has given me a lot of trouble.

Make a police report.

If you have the agent's contact details, sue the idiot.

We do not condone cheating, especially when it comes to fellow magicians.

thanks. this will be my last option

Which reminds me...where is Isaac? ;) I bet he's hiding somewhere -_-

almost 100 days and i still not getting my refund

Thought you settled the matter already and that there would be an immediate refund?

if i get back my refund that would be happy but that will NEVER happen. as they said, if i would like to get back my refund, i have to FOLLOW what they said and sign their documents...... as when i pay, i didnt sign any document and now when i want back my refund, they want me to sign documents. i already wait for so long until i can't buy a new desktop as my old one is dying.

Bro, go MMU, they having a magic show there in december...
by the way, i think they are also scammers, as they once offered an ONLINE VIDEO CONTEST OFFERING RM5000 FOR FIRST PRIZE...
and where would they get such FUND if they cant even successfully refund you??

think twice, we should not let scammers survive anyhow in our community.
Magic is a niche, and we shall stand up to protect each others wellfare!

that online prize is a fake i can tell you. with that money, why don't they refund me? as they said, if they have so many customers, why don't they refund me after they got their money? also, that is an unregistered company in malaysia. i lost more than 700 for this guy and hope no one can be the next victim. i still have the bank in reciept with me.

i can guarantee in future, i am not the only person who complain about this guy. you can see his own forum testimonial part. i am NOT the only person complaining as he stated that i am the ONLY ONE complaining.

if i got my refund back, i will post it here but i know it will NEVER happen.

you are not alone, i am one of the victim as well.. i just keep quiet as the sum is not big
but thanks for stepping out and voice our dissatisfaction
i wonder what are they doing? TALK LOUD, BOAST BIG, DO NOTHING.

I hope they just refund all victims and SHUT DOWN, TO PREVENT OTHER MISHAPS.

I hope the owner and people who knows him will advice him to do a good deed, or he will always live in guilt... omg...

not worth being called a magician if you treat your fellow magician this way. Disappointed

Mod : I've moved this topic here, which is the direction this thread has gone.

they are not a responsible people. i hope every single people help me spread this news so that no one can become the next victim again.

Dear Guys,


I presume you all are talking about Magical Ztudio. All full statement of what happen has been posted in this forums.

Mistake like that i am sorry as i am not aware.

But rest assure that mistake like that will only hapen once.

Jeff - we have also stocks available.

For thoose who claims to have orders , sent in the invoice to sales@magicalztudio.com - don't just claim but prove.

Jason , i believe we have settle. Contact more on sms or msn.



Regards,

Chris Cheong

Please show us prove by sending the invoices to sales@magicalztudio.com and rest assure I WILL PERSONALLY FOLLOW UP.

Magical Ztudio is more than just an online shop. Too many areas to cover and is my mistake to neglect and left it with worng people.

Leaving with wrong ppl, leaving with wrong ppl , SEEMS LIKE ITS A COMMON TACTIC AND EXCUSE USED BY MOST CON MAGIC SHOP, YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST.

OH SORRY I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT YOU VARIOUS TIMES BUT NO REPLIES GRANTED. CARE TO EXPLAIN?

KononMagic - i realise that you have "claim" to have purchase from us.

Please give me your order number - email me the zen cart invoice to chrischeong@magicalztudio.com

No reply? Call me personally 014-221 8339

False claim have been happening since 2 months ago. If you did purchase , and have the zen cart invoice rest assure refund will be made. Don't simple claim.

Waiting for your call and email.

If we are a con shop. I wont be here replying you post.
If we are con shop, our sales order wont be coming in almost everyday.

Like i promise, mistake like this will never repeat.

wow, chris, u really made a big mess man,u kinda made people lose faith in you instantly, and i mean alot, even from people who got their refunds, so its a 50-50 chance the same people would go and purchase goods from u again.So um, to me la, dun take it personally yea?, people kinda want u to clean ur name, magical studios name by proving ur consistency of good sales or transactions, but hey i think ur taking a good step by regretting it, and apologizing, but hey theres still alot of steps, so good luck and try ur best man, i heard many people are' hoping to buy from ur website coz of the price, dun dissapoint them weyh, gd luck :D

Thx for your surport :D

I have promise the community - Mistake like that will not happen again.

There are more options like www.magiccastle.com.sg or www.boutique.sg

But according to my price and service check, magic castle seems to offer better choices.

:D Everyone has their opinion and likes. Most of the loyal customer of Magical Ztudio has their own likes too.

Different people different likes=)

Glad you found what suits you.

settle? i do not even get a single cent from you. i will post a reply here if you fully refund me

CHRISTOPHER CHEONG, YOU PERSONALLY CONTACTED ME?
YOU DON'T EVEN DARE TO PICK UP MY CALL
WHERE IS MY REFUND AS WELL??
CON MAN, CON MAGIC SHOP
I HAVE BEEN PATIENCE AND GAVE YOU TIME UNTIL NOW, 1ST JANUARY, 2010, ITS TOO MUCH

Ok. This has gone on far enough.

Kononmagic, Jason and all the other victims, while I fully sympathize with your predicament, this is not the place to fight it out. The MMF forums is NOT Magical Ztudio's forum. I sincerely thank you for providing feedback about the problems with this vendor to us all, so that others do not make the same mistakes as you all did. However, the MMF forums is not the venue to seek recourse to seek your problems with Christopher Cheong.

If you feel you feel there has been a fraud here, we suggest this :-

1) take it up with the shop in question,
2) and if you cannot settle it, please lodge a police report to settle your grievance.

Its better than arguing on an on-line forum.
