TRUST LEAF ORGANISATION...A SCAM???
-
I believe many singaporeans had encountered people from trust leaf organisation approaching you to ask you to buy a pen for $2 (Mostly at Orchard & Bugis Area).
They claim that Trust Leaf Organisation is NOT a Charity organisation but instead an organisation which helps Ex-Convicts through the sale of pens (Direct Sales). Ethically, there is no wrong selling pens and going around asking for people to buy it.
But have you ever wondered where will the money go to after you buy this pen??? Will it really go to the Ex-convict's pocket? Furthermore, MANY OF THOSE SELLING THE PENS ARE STUDENTS WHOM I BELIEVE WILL GET COMMISSION IF THEY SELL A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PEN
Why do i say SO???
1) They go around harassing people to buy the pens and come out with stupid excuses to gain sympathy.
Eg. U noe hor....i am not feeling well leh but hor i still come out sell this pen help me buy la
2) Even after being rejected, they continue to pester the person to buy the pens. (Don't Singaporeans know basic courtesy to say THANK YOU even if the person say they do not want to buy it???)
3) Most people from Trust Leaf Organisation DO NOT approach working adults but instead YOUTHS like them. WHY??? MOST Probably thinking that YOUTHS are easier to handle and that they will most probably buy the pens.
Have you ever noticed NONE OF THIS VOLUNTEERS EVER SHOW A POLICE STATEMENT TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE GIVEN PERMISSION TO SELL THIS ON THE STREETS???
For me, I bought the pen only twice and would NOT like to sponsor this group ever again.
Pls Comment on your experience with people from Trust Leaf Organisation =D -

It can be hard saying "no" to the young ones.Originally posted by FireIce:i met cute young boys (sec 1/2) asking me to buy badges...
But I feel that I'm doing society a service by teaching our young to handle rejection. -

I was like, chin chai la, when those teenage girl approach me to buy the super expensive crappy pen so I bought one.
After that when my friend was holding onto 4 two dollars note, a teenage girl came over and ask him whether he wants to buy or not, he also chin chai and agreed to buy 1. Apparently, that girl was extremely greedy, she flirt a bit and snatch the $8 note, and gave 3 pens. So my friend has 4 pens nwo right? When he was about to break those pens, that girl stopped him and snatch the pen away and tell him not to waste them, if he dont want, she can resell it.
All of us were like bo wei gong, my friend even begged her to give him 1 pen and he broke it to vent his anger. My friend usually has no temper lah, but this girl really too greedy. -
Trust leaf is too mch....this organisation MUST BE checked and CLOSED
