VIP Card From Menara Kuala Lumpur
October 1, 2008 – 7:14 pmA couple of days ago, I received a call from a Malay guy who identified himself as staff of Menara Kuala Lumpur and he told me that I have been chosen to receive a VIP card from Menara Kuala Lumpur (KL Tower).
I asked him where he obtained my telephone number from and he said that his manager sent it to his computer system and his job was just to make calls. However, apparently, he only had the telephone numbers and no other details like name and address.
Anyway, he said that i would be given the free VIP card. I asked if I have to pay any fee or annual fee and he said no. he even said that this card could be used by my children and not personal to holder. I felt that it was a little odd but since it’s a free discount card, I said, fine, send it over, and gave him my name and address.
If that is not enough, he said that he also has a towing service card to give me. I said I do not have a car but he said that I could use it on my father’s car and asked me for the car registration number. I said I do not want it and he said that I will “rugi” and I said, rugi rugi lah.
He asked if I do not trust him and I said, no, I need to verify first. But he said, he also has free insurance to give me. I decided not to pursue this and asked him to give me his office number so that i could give them a call to confirm if there is a promotion like this.
Sure, he gave me a number to call, but he said that it is a video call and I could only “view” the video by using 3G. I called that number and viewed the video but there was no information on the promotion.
I decided to go online and checked the website of Menara KL. I called information counter and was told that all telephone numbers of KL Tower starts with 2020 and all mobile numbers of staff are either 013 or 019 because Menara KL is a Telekom Malaysia (TM) entity. Also, the staff was very helpful and told me that there is no such thing as the VIP card. Gold card, yes. VIP card, no.
