CTTan Numis-Amcorp Mall Flea Market

Yesterday I found CTTan or Tan Choon Teng (CT Tan) at his stall in Amcorp Mall Flea Market on the 2nd floor, near the escalator (near Pos Malaysia). CTTan also has a shop, CTTan Trading, No 33-2-68, Prangin Mall, Jalan Dr. Lim Chwee Leong, 10100 Georgetown, Pulau Pinang.

This is an old post: CTTan already moved to No 33-2-68, Prangin Mall, Jalan Dr. Lim Chwee Leong, 10100 Georgetown, Pulau Pinang. You can contact him 016-4132313 (hp & whatapps). You can read detail information about his new shop here: Kedai Numismatik CTTan Trading.

I think he was already popular in Facebook as a seller since I can see he has been actively doing coins & banknotes trading in some of the Facebook Groups for the past 2 years. I never meet him personally before but he treats all his customers like an old friends, a good way to do business in a crowded places like Amcorp Mall.

I have to wait for a few minutes before I have the opportunity to chat & take his pictures since he has customer asking about his RM50 Commonwealth Games 3 in 1 uncut banknotes. Even though the old ladies don't look like a collector (For me, she is just curious about how the komanwel RM50 look like), he still happily treats her well and give her enough information about the uncut banknotes. He even show her how the uncut banknotes look like by opening the plastic covering the folder and show her the actual banknotes.

He have many Malaysia banknotes for sale especially replacement and Fancy Number Banknotes but less coins for display/sell. You can contact Tan Choon Teng (CT Tan) via his handphone 016-4132313.

CT Tan is just one of the new numismatic traders who enter the market lately. I know they're at least a dozen new coins and banknotes dealers since the last 2 years. I will try to track them and write about them in this blog in the near future.

How the illegal investment company operate:

1) Illegal operators usually operate on a small scale and claim they can provide remittance services efficiently, without the need for any documents or identification. They rarely use documents to validate and verify the transactions. By engaging in these transactions, customers run the risk of being cheated and their funds may never reach its intended destination.

2) Illegal operators usually target job seekers by placing attractive advertisements to lure prospective employees to join the company, after which they use them to solicit for new investments. Most often, employees will be encouraged to approach their direct family, relatives and friends before targeting members of the public.

3) Illegal operators usually portray a professional and reputable image, a high-tech office layout and advanced IT facilities, such as a LCD screens displaying movements in exchange rates to provide the impression that a legitimate and real business is being conducted. These facilities are merely a false front.

4) Investors can either trade using their trading accounts with the company or through dealers appointed by the company. In some cases, investors are allowed to operate their accounts via the Internet.

5) Investors are also required to sign a business contract which is normally entered between the investors and a principal company overseas.

6) In most instances, the operators will inform the investors that they will have to send these contracts to its principal company overseas for signing. However, such contracts are usually left unsigned.

7) As such, in the event the investors are unhappy with future dealings and transactions, no action can be taken against the company as there is no binding contract between them.

8) Investors will usually get high returns on their initial investments. This will convince them to increase their investments in hopes of higher returns. Eventually, they will end up losing everything when the illegal operators suddenly go missing.

9) Investors who lose their money through purported volatility of exchange rate movements are informed by the illegal operators that they need to pay margin-call in order to recover their paper loss

10) The illegal operators may also encourage investors to increase their investment to try to recover their losses.

Govt may replace Ringgit notes design?

Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said in an interview with Channel NewsAsia yesterday that Malaysia is looking to replace the current currency notes with new ones to combat corruption. The move will hit black marketeers and those who use black money hard as they were not able to move the notes openly as they were no longer accepted as legal tender.

“It’s not an easy thing because when you want to replace the currency, you must know how much currency is in circulation... because we have to replace what is in circulation and that is a very big amount,” he said.

“If you were to replace, you need to print huge amounts of paper money and that is not a decision that one makes lightly.

“You have to study the effects on the economy,” he added.

Malaysian netizens talk about new banknote designs since May this year, a banknotes design by Muaz Muhammad from Seniyati Studio in 2015 gone viral in Social Media as Malaysia New Banknote design. You can read about it in my blog post; Cerita wang kertas baru Malaysia.

Current design of the Malaysia banknotes was announced on 21 December 2011, and the notes put into circulation into circulation from 16 July 2012. The fourth banknotes series comprises denominations of RM1, RM5, RM10, RM20 and RM100. The RM20 banknote is reintroduced in this new series and polymer substrate is used for the RM1 and RM5 banknotes. The RM50 banknote has been issued since December 2007.

If Malaysia change to new banknote design this year (2018), that means the fourth banknotes design only have a life span of 6 years.

Do you know how many billion Ringgit banknotes already printed and in circulation today? Government need to print the same amount, exchange the banknote and put it into circulation.

It will cost a lot of money to design and to print new Malaysia banknotes, in this current economic situation, I don't think Malaysia can afford it.

You can watch and read the original interview by Channel NewsAsia here; Changing currency an option: Mahathir.

Fake Money Lending Licence with BNM logo

Some fraudsters are using Fake Money Lending Licence with Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) logo to make people believe that they are licensed money lenders. For your information, BNM does not issue money lending licences.

Money lending business is governed under the Moneylenders Act 1951 and administered by the Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government.

According to BNM statement, these fraudsters aim to deceive the public to believe that they are licensed money lenders and to lure the public to make initial payments for various purposes related to the loan such as administrative expenses, stamp duty and legal fees.

These fraudulent activities are promoted through the website, social media, telephone calls, SMS, emails or other forms of communication.

Bank Negara Malaysia also would like to urge all victims of the above financial scam to lodge a report with the Royal Malaysian Police to facilitate investigations.

Members of the public are reminded to be vigilant of any person or parties who claim to be licensed by Bank Negara Malaysia.

Fake message about ATM withdrawals

Bank Negara Malaysia today issued a press release about a message circulating in the social media advising the public to perform cash withdrawals using the Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) of their own banks instead of the ATMs of other banks purportedly due to issues with MEPS.

According to the message, it alleged that there were ATM withdrawals where the cash amount failed to be dispensed even though the customers' bank accounts had been deducted.

Over the past six months, the MEPS Shared ATM Network has continuously and reliably served its customers by facilitating interbank cash withdrawals and funds transfers at over 11,000 ATMs in Malaysia, with 100 percent system availability recorded.
