It’s Been 4 Months, Where Is My Advertlets Cheque?
Jul 2, 2008 Blogosphere, Jialat dot Com, Malaysia, Money, Ranting, Singapore
I don’t like to post this kind of article because I believe this kind of issue should be dealt with personally, privately. However, it is just too bad that there is no reply till today to my latest request made middle of last week. So here comes this post.
I have made my 1st cashed out from Advertlets on 3rd March. Understand Advertlets’s TOC that cash-out waiting time is about 30 to 45 days, counting from end of the month that we cashed out, I waited patiently.
Taken from Advertlets website:
Please note that payments are processed 30-45 days from the end of the month which you cashed out.
Until 29th May, which was close to 2 months to end of March, the status was still “Processing”. I sended my 1st email to Josh Lim checking if there is any problem over there. No reply from him, but few days or 1 week later, the status changed to “sent”. Wow, the cheque was sent! I was happy so I waited again.
1st week of June, until today, 2nd July, the status is still “sent” and I see no sight of letter from Advertlets. Where is the cheque, the letter now? In Malaysia? Singapore? Stuck at the border? Or it was never sent out at all? I know Pos Malaysia is terrible, but I doubt it would take them close to a month to deliver a letter from Malaysia to Singapore. I made another request middle of last week, this time using Advertlets Contact page. Till today, no reply.

Advertlets, Josh, so when can I receive my cheque? And when I can receive the cheque for my cash-out made on 30th May?

73 Year-Old AhMah Bought 2 Body Shaping Undergarments at 4K Plus
Jun 26, 2008 Gossips, Singapore
Was flipping through WanBao, the following news caught my attention:
Basically, it is about a 73 years old lady’s unhappy experience with a certain company. On 30th May, she was brought by 4 of her friends to a company located at Bencoolen Street, in the name of attending a siminar (what kind of seminar? health? making money? family?) She only knew that the seminar is about the body shaping undergarments when she was there. The presenter said that the undergarment is product of Japan (”product of Japan” and “made in Japan” are different…). Other than shaping human’s body, adjusting body postures, it also emits negative ions and helps our blood circulations, and good for slimming. The 4 “friends” encouraged her to try the undergarments on the spot. She felt that it was tight. But due to the 4 friends’ strong “encouragement”, she signed an contract and bought 2 sets of the undergarments at S$4488. She did not have enough cash with have. The friends even drove her back home to take her cheque book. Good friends right?
Back home, she put on 1 of the 2 sets once, and felt that it was too tight. The family members felt the sets were too expensive. 1 of them read through the contract, and found that there is a 30 days money back guarantee, as long as the goods are in original package. So they returned to the company on 23rd June and requested money back for 1 of the sets. They encountered difficulties and it dragged for close to 2 hours. There was fierce arguments. Then they called in police. Finally, they got their money, S$2255, back (I assume S$33 is for admin charge kind of stuff?). When the reporter was there and show the staffs his identity, they staffs there were very unfriendly.

Once Again, Tiger Woods Tops The List
Jun 6, 2008 Around the Word, Celebrities
I mean the list of 50 top-earning American athletes compiled by Sports Illustrated.
Why once again? This is the 5th year Sports Illustrated compiling such list and for the 5th time, Tiger Woods finds his name on top of the list. He never fails to do so for the past 5 years. Taking a look at the list, it is even shocking that his past year earning, off and on-the-field, is double of what Phil Mickelson earns. Both Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are golfers.
With close to $800 million in total earnings on and off the course over his 13-year career, Tiger should become the first billion-dollar athlete in the next two years — and he’s still only 32.
Something interesting is that there are only 3 golfers in the list and 2 of the are at the top 2 places. NBA players take most of the seats in the list, and there is no women found within it. I’m shocking to see LeBron James at 3rd place. He is only 23, or 24 and he is making 40 million USD a year!
King James has earned $167 million during his five seasons in the NBA, and has his eyes on serious entrepreneurship: He counts billionaire Warren Buffett as a role model and friend.
Sports Illustrated Fortunate 50:
1. Tiger Woods - $127,902,706
2. Phil Mickelson - $62,372,685
3. LeBron James - $40,455,000
4. Floyd Mayweather Jr. - $40,250,000
5. Kobe Bryant - $35,490,625
6. Shaquille O’Neal - $35,000,000
7. Alex Rodriguez - $35,000,000
8. Kevin Garnett - $31,000,000
9. Peyton Manning - $30,500,000
10. Derek Jeter - $30,000,000
