just when you think nti-parizz (not the real name) is the lowest of all companies that has ever been set up in singapore, here comes another one. i don't know why i get uber-pissed when i hear of such companies even existing. we really have to give nti-pariss some credit for actually being a legitimate company despite selling its idea more than its worthless aromatherapy products and brandless specs-less laptops. and now the guy decides to create a new "investment" company which promises to pay 800% / $800 (not sure which one) profits to its members, sets its own share point although it isn't registered in the stock market, and guarantees at least a 150% return in funds for any amount invested. and guess what? it's "product", the wireless technology that it claims to have taken taiwan by storm and is the next big thing in singapore, hasn't even been in the experimental stage yet. in other words, it does not exist. so what gives them the right to make such empty promises? isn't every investor be prepared to be exposed to all the risks he can get? what is 150% insurance supposed to mean? they'll pay everyone even if they declare bankrupt? if they aren't so incredibly dubious about their goals, they may even sound more credible to us. but the sad thing is, many young people, usually fresh out of school, and blinded by the idea of earning a quick buck, fall for this trap, again and again and again. i almost fell two years ago and i was glad i didn't, though i have to admit my sales company worked somewhat similar and i am relieved i didn't venture far in it. granted, all businesses main priority is to earn as much profit as possible. the thing is, such companies aren't just any "businesses". they don't sell products - they sell fundamentally flawed ideas aimed at attracting youths to part with their money. and even if they do break even, or earn lots of profits, that is at the expense of more ignorant newcomers. if you do all these, and claim that you are extremely successful just because you earn much more than anyone else, then i think you have an even more sad life than mine.
