My advice to you is not to jump into conclusion and make assumptions. I have already stated that i'm not a SE investor. Perhaps you have a difficulty comprehending English, that's why you tend to misinterpret my postings. So, my next advice to you is that you brush up your proficiency of the language. Otherwise, you may land yourself into trouble in the working world.Originally posted by the_fallen:Since you're an investor yourself..
I would advise you not to invest your money elsewhere..so that you will be 'safe' when it closes..
in case you have friends in the company..when it close..try to watch them when their cars are being towed away...and when they are in mrt platform make sure they stand behind the yellow line..and see the back home safely incase they make a huge LOSS when it happens..
there's already a person in taiwan a couple of weeks back threatening to jump off building when the stock market collaspe..
so watch out for your friends and people who u have referred them in...
there's cause and effect..retribution will be back somehow someway.. (pardon me, but I'm a bit to the superstitious side...)
anyway, it's just my advice to you..

Dear friends, I have been to their company and listen to their presentations and proposal. After considering many factors, I did not invest this company. Yes, this company guarantees you will not lose the principle amount. Moreover, you have been pledge by this company that you will earn more over the time, and the more you invest with them, which also mean the more you trust them, the more you earn. (Thus the GP, SP and the BP system is to give the trust reward) It sounds like a great deal! I mean, which financial entity guarantees 100% principle secure?
Before I carry on, I wish to let everyone know that is solely on my opinion. I have facts, “black white” and professional help which helped me in making my decision. But, “Cash flow Quadrant”, what I type here is considering an opinion, till you saw the facts or “black and white”; then it is consider a fact or a principle.
The investment returns are excellent! 300% if you are a GP, wow! And if the Emcom collapse, the other businesses that are under Sunshine Empire will pay back to you, your entire principle amount plus a little bonus, therefore your investment is very safe. That sounds good, too good to be true too. But that is the least of my concern because , I was told by a trust worthy friend, that there is a time that Mircosoft buy back itÂ’s public shares 44 times on what is listed on the stock exchange (probably when the price is low, and the Ceo is very confident). So, good deal does come along and let you earn unexpectedly, but same goes of expenses
The financial report shows the health and status of the business. Even if the business is making money, financial report will show how efficient the business is using the money. (For example, for simple terms, Business A uses 10k to earn 5k per year, but Business B uses only 8k to earn 5k per year. Business B is more efficient in using their money, thus Business B is a better investment.)
WellÂ… when I asked for the financial report, they mentioned the company is just started, therefore there isnÂ’t a financial report. Ok, that is reasonable. So I asked for the financial reports of the other businesses that are under the Sunshine Empire. They were unable to produce them to me, explaining to me that private limitedÂ’s financial report are restricted to only shareholders of the company.
Reason why I want to look at other businesses under Sunshine Empire because when Emcom were to collapse, the other businesses are the ones will pay you back the principle amount. Therefore, the other business under Sunshine Empire health and status are under my decision considerations.
I called 3 friends, a lawyer, a financial planner and very good businessman friend. They told me that even for a private limitedÂ’s financial report is public knowledge, not just the ones listed in SGX.
HmmmÂ… maybe my friends were wrong. There is still a possibility right? But how do I make an investment if I canÂ’t get hold of a financial report? All master investors wrote or mentioned that it is a good move that the financial report must be read before investing the company.
“Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing” – Warren Buffet
From what that successful old guy, I do know what kind of business they are doing, but I have no idea how well they are doing in all their businessÂ…
Therefore my first point of reason I do not invest with Emcom; do not know how well their businesses are doing.
For those who have read Rich Dad Poor Dad series, both in ‘Cashflow Quadrant’ and ‘Guide to Investing’, these 2 books have mentioned that the business’ system is very crucial to its vitality. This company uses the ‘binary’ system to aid in their MLM business.
On 24th of January 2007, on the Chinese newspaper ‘My Paper’ published that such system like ‘binary’ system is impractical. It is because if you manage to recruit up to 11th generation, the number of agents has exceeded population of USA, if you manage to recruit up to 13th generation, then you have agents more than the world population.
The system is flawed. It is heading to high risk of failure. It has very little room of expansion. Is this the business you wish to invest?
Therefore my second point of reason I do not invest with Emcom; the business system is flawed.
Has anyone heard of pyramid scheme? This is what I learn, in simple, a pyramid scheme is concept selling, which means, you get no physical products, only an idea. In the system too, you are unable to out earn the one who recruited you, even though you work harder and recruited more members than he does. MLM system on the other hand, allows you to earn more the one who recruited you if you bring more sales or recruitment than him if you reach the MLM CompanyÂ’s requirement. You get your fair share, based on your hard work. It is also an obligation for an MLM company to sell you a physical product.
On Emcom side, wellÂ… they are selling phantom shares, presenting that they build wireless network in certain parts of Taiwan, where it is hard to confirm, unless you fly to those parts and confirm it.
On the agreement, they mentioned that if I have to sue them, I have to sue them at Taiwan. HmmmÂ… this is kind of odd, since this company is register in Singapore, why do I have to go to Taiwan to sue them?
Therefore this is my first point of doubt; why do I have to sue them at Taiwan if they are register in Singapore already?
To summarize the whole thing,
The advantages:
Fourth player in Singapore telecommunication industry
Capital Assurance plus a little bonus if you invested more if Emcom collapse.
High returns
The points of doubt:
I do not know how well their businesses are doing.
The business system is flawed.
Why do I have to sue them at Taiwan if they are register in Singapore already?
It fits perfectly as a pyramid scam (but doesnÂ’t mean it is a pyramid scam ok?)
HaizÂ… honestly speaking, I seriously wish they can satisfy my reasons of doubt because the offers they give are seriously very good. If this is successful, they can be possibly being the fourth major player in Singapore telecommunication industry.
But, based on what I discovered, their business seems risky to me. Very risky. Therefore, if you are a very HIGH RISK investor, this is perfect for you. But, this isn't for me.
Thank you everyone.

SINGAPORE: A suspicious advertisement alone is not a scam, unless promises made are not honoured and money is lost, said legal experts and Singapore's consumer watchdog.Another piece of interesting news. LOL! I think its of some relevance here.
Lawyer at Harry Elias Partnership, Anand Nalachandran, said: "For any advertisement that proposes an investment method or a business opportunity or venture, it ultimately boils down to whether the party you're dealing with intends to follow through on that agreement and honour their promises.
"Sometimes, it can be a very fine line, but if there's been deception, if there's been fraudulence, then a criminal offence may have been committed."
Seah Seng Choon, Executive Director of the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), said: "You need to ask yourself whether the high returns are possible. Look at those investment returns that are offered by legitimate businesses. There is a certain range of returns that you'll get from the money that you put into the investment.
"If the guy promises you 20, 30 times of that, that is a signal that you have to be extra careful."
The Monetary Authority of Singapore website lists the financial institutions under its regulation.
The public can also seek advice from CASE or call the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority to check records of companies.
Mr Nalachandran said: "If someone feels that they have been cheated, then of course they can lodge a report with the police or commence civil proceedings to try and reclaim money that they've lost.
"But this can be difficult if you can't locate or identify the parties you're contracting with or dealing with, or if they're not based in Singapore."
In such situations, CASE said it can still track down the company with the assistance of overseas consumer bodies.
If the company is a Singapore firm, consumers can make their complaints on the CASE website or contact its officers.
CASE can write to the company and negotiate on the consumer's behalf for a settlement.
If the case cannot be resolved directly, CASE may persuade the company in question to go for mediation.
Ultimately, experts said, the final decision is up to the consumer.

http://www.thelocalking.com/singapore/miscellaneous--others.../sunshine-empire.html
Why do you say that?Originally posted by kog:There is no such wireless company as Empire Communications in Taiwan. The name and the Chinese website were "created" by sunshine empire to cheat their investors. Period.
Basically a useless post of yoursOriginally posted by christopher_rf:Why do you say that?
There's proof and evidence that EGA is building a wireless city in taiwan, Please use proof and logical explanations
Normally for every anti-sunshine quote here, laurence82 always support, but for your baseless post here, not even laurence82 have a post with "yea they are out to cheat money"
