Olaprice Dot Com is a Scam?

Warning lang po sa mga online shoppers na kakabayan natin dito sa Singapore.
'Yung OlaPrice.com madami na nagcocomment na scam ang site kasi pag umorder daw. Automatic mag deduct sa cc mo next month ang $88 para daw sa membership.

Marami ng nagrereklamo dito di ko pa alam kung may nagrequest na for investigation.

So konting ingat lang po. Super mura ang products nila. Muntik na rin ko mapabili dyan pero buti na lang binasa ko muna reviews.




Eto po ang isa sa mga comments na nabasa ko.

Just be warned:

If you're thinking of buying anything from the con website OlaPrice or StreetDeal Singapore, READ MY WARNING here. They will charge you an extra $88 2 days after your initial receipt without you knowing. If you do not cancel this $88 (membership fee), they will not refund you.
They will auto enroll you as a member with this $88 charged and you need to be aware of it to cancel it within 48 hours.. They include this in the last line of an email receipt which is intentionally placed in such a way that you will most likely miss it. If you miss this 48 hours window. Your credit card is charged.
Share it as much as possible as their items are priced very cheaply and people will tend to view it as the "full" sum they're supposed to pay, unaware that they'll sting you with an $88 extra charge 2 days later.
You have no recourse over them. CASE and Small Claims does not interfere with this as it is a loophole they're exploiting. their disputes are to be raised to the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC)
They include this in their T/C when purchasing their items.
"Any claim, dispute, or controversy shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC)"
Arbitration fees start in excess of $2140. Its not worth the trouble to get back $88 to file such fees. They know this loophole and are continuously exploiting it.
They will most certainly delete and block you from their facebook page comments so that it will not be visible to others on facebook. A telltale sign would be their "offers" posts that are paid promotions. Nobody seems to comment on these good deals And if if there ARE comments, you most likely will not se any. Even net savvy individuals from hardwarezone and VR forums have been conned. If you've bought anything from them, don't bother to complain. its a loophole that you have no recourse on.
Again share this post as much as possible for awareness. Especially to friends who are not so net savvy.
Footnote: Olaprice and Streetdeals are from the same parent company and are using the same shady business tactic. While I personally cannot claim against them, nothing is stopping me and all of you from sharing this and making people aware of their shady practices. So again. Share to everyone you know and on all big groups in Facebook/Twitter/Instagram/Pintrest/tumblr and your own friends.
