Im a indian too but on the part that active foto and alif
computers stinks, i agree. Btw active foto and alif computers is an
indian muslim shop.. Always keep one thing in mind.. prostitution
exists in every country or the world.. that doesent make the whole
world prostitutes does it? Btw both active foto and alif are on the
4th floor of sim lim square side by side.. and active foto also has
another shop one of the corner on 4th floor.
I was almost slaughtered at alif computers once.. i wanted to buy a
laptop.. went to their shop.. they had a number of laptops on
display.. i selected the model i liked.. i told the salesman i
wanna buy that particular laptop.. he asked me to head over from
alif computers to active foto's other outlet which is located in
one of the corners of 4th floor.
the salesman told me to wait there while he brings the laptop.. so
i waited.. it took vry long.. i suspected smth was nt right.. after
15 mins the guy came.. opened the box and took out the laptop..
switched it on and guess what.. it looked like it had been
used..
i asked the guy if it was a display set he was selling me and the
guy said no. luckily i checked throughly and found tamil mp3 songs
in my documents.. i flared up.. screwed the guy.. and the boss
came.. he tried to calm me down tellin me that the salesman gave me
the wrong set.. luckily i did not made a payment yet.. so ppl
remember.. what ever you buy, always test..
aniwayz after an hour i went to have my lunch at a coffee shop on
the 2nd floor.. i saw the same salesman there again.. he was buying
drink.. he came up to me and apologised.. he said.. "i find it very
difficult to cheat ppl like that but its the instructions given to
me by my boss.. he doesent care about his staff's well being and
cares more about his sales and money.. we do this very often.. when
we have cleared all our laptops for that particular model our store
room, we will wipe up the display set, pack it nicely and sell it
to the customers"
he also told me some of their display sets are used to listen songs
in the shop and is switched on from morning till night.. and told
me that their kingston memory cards which doesent come in sealed
packing are often used to transfer data around from laptops to
laptops and packed nicely to be sold after that.
after this, i felt really sad for the salesman.. they make him do
this kinda stuff.. the boss hides like a coward and makes his
salesman do the dirty job.. when the customers not happy, the boss
blames it on the salesman and the poor guy has to keep quiet for
the sake of his rice bowl..(Boss: "salesman gave you the wrong
set")..
active foto has earned quite a reputation in sim lim for all sorta
bad stuff.. once again.. i cant be a racist as ima indian too and i
know how bad active foto and alif computers are.. itz painful if
you're from a poor background.. you have been saving $200 a mth to
buy your dream laptop which turns out to be second hand..
If possible, ppl pls spread the word.. tell ppl to stay away from
this shop.. and yea.. any representitive on this forum or aniwhere
aint happy with me posting this about active foto, send me a PM..
try me.. remember the NKF case.. they had to produce alot of stuff
in court.. all their accounts etc etc.. oh yea i also heard CASE is
sick and tired of hearing complaints about active foto but needs
more facts and evidence before they can blast this guys..
PPL BE VIGILANT.. dont let ppl cheat you of your hard earned money
just like that..
