I guess there's lots of blacklisted shops in Sim Lim Square already. So maybe this one's the lastest one.

Sim Lim Square
#02-79
Mobile Hut
Sells cameras, mp3s and games. Camera sales by one shopkeeper, mp3 and games by a second group (this shop is shared by two different groups, it seems).

I was asking for Final FantasyTactics and Final Fantasy VII originals, and this person spoke immediately that he has it. I wanted to see them, so he told me to pay the bill first. I was using nets. He covered the screen of the nets device at first, and when I insisted on seeing the discs first, he retyped in the amount to be transferred. $69 for FFT, $100 for FF7. He claimed that he wants the payment first so that his effort of searching through his store won't be wasted. I was desperate for the games, so I trusted him. He took 30 min to get back. He brought back Final Fanasy Anthology instead.

He claimed that I wanted two games...two-in-one. Thus FFA. I demanded for the exact games that I wanted, he said he needed to check with Seow Choon. He made a show of asking for the number from his accomplice, and faked a conversation while walking out of the shop, out of my ear range. He returned saying he needs time to get them, and he'll give me his contact. His name: Ah Kow (means dog, for non-hokkien people).

I wanted a refund, but he said that it was by nets, he couldn't reverse the transfer. If I'd asked for it in cash, I think you know what he'd say. I then changed my demands for the FF IX he has. He said I needed to top up the difference to make it $299.

I wanted to keep the price at $169. He offered a 20% discount and told me to give him my nets card 'cause it means I CAN pay the difference. I insisted on nothing more than $169 worth, and he finally backed down. I checked with the neighbouring shops, FF IX was selling for $59. I was conned $110.

If this shop hasn't been blacklisted by everyone yet, please becareful of even going close to them.
