International Merchandise Services review: SCAM 128

I think Nedbank must check this peopleout bcos they are using their name for this scam.this is really sick thinking of how many people need money for serious reasons and they just play with peoples lives.they need to be found becouse even their home page says nothing or even pics of their wereabouts.

I ALSO RECEIVED A SCRATCH CARD ON DAILY SUN, PAID OUT THE R140 FOR THE HOLIDAY TILL THIS DAY NO RESPOND ALSO THE MAIL I SEND R170 FOR THE PENDANT AND STILL NORE MAIL THEY GOT THIS PENDANT AMOUNT ISSUE SO PLEASE HELP.

My scratch card was in a DailySun newspapers, but when i receive theirs letters saying that i must pay a certain amount i be come suspecious there is no competition that is asking for a money if you have won a prize.Now they are bothering me with their endless letters, I wish they can stop sending me their letters.

hi, everyone i dont think this is a scam heres my story...i got my scratch at dailysun newspaper and did as it say..then i received a post telling me ive won R120000.I WAS SUSPICIOUS and decided not to post, then they send me a notice letter remainding me of the unclaimed amount.which i recently did.my fellow brothers n sisters correct me if im am wrong [protected](hlolo).as i comment im waiting for that huge price.if is a scam we can be able to trace them i hav al the details ...

Im in the very same situation i have been receiving this letters not knowing that its fraud today i almost send money to this ppl for them to process my things as they have said so.i just wish they stop with this game

I received the same thing, thank you for warning us..I will not be sending any money to these people, thanks to sights like these, people can be warned against these scammer ###s!

i won 120 000 after receiving documents confirming my winning, then i signed the documents and returned them back as reguired by term and conditions. no respond .

I also recieve the same as others from the international merchandise service, they congratulate me of being a winner. and told me that i am one of the selected number of people who have won a holiday certificate, and am lookig forward to receive my pricre.

hi i have paid the money that the IMS and Travel clips asked for and i was told that i must start looking for a place where i want to go. so i have not yet found one. as for IMS i am still waiting for their response regarding the money & award that they said i won. i am not sure if its a scam or not, will also keep you posted. if there is anything that i need to know, please inform me. From Mo

These people are running a ###

This is true because I also have been in that competition and every thing that had been said is true. I never thought that such a company with its logo on the papers can just do a fake competition to have peoples money as they gonna think that they have won.

I also got a scratch card in the Sowetan, and i was promised a holiday voucher of R10000, 00, and the voucher was send, and when i enquire about going away they said i must pay R70, 00 if i was going on holidays alone, and if i am going with my husband i must pay R140, 00, and they also work with international merchandise services.
i also agree they need to pay what they are doing to us, they must pay the price.

Received a letter from the "UIF" stating that R120 000.00 of unclaimed income fund will be paid out once we deposited R149.90!

I got a motor vehicle certificate that I have responded on I have paid R171.90 into the bank account Nedbank [protected] branch 198765
They have send me more notices asking for more money I went into the website to obtain a e-mail address. Should have done this the time
What now, they do not answer the phone.

I think they start again, very professional. I received a letter that I won R118.000 with a price claim number and everything.
They want me to claim the price by mail or fax and pay R 139.90 in there Bank Account (Details enclosed). It is so professional that I had to read it several times until I noticed the one word "POTENTIAL" CASH PRICE WINNER.
I called the call-centre within the opening hours but only got a message about the opening hours. I also sent a e-mail message and
have not received a response. It is obvious that they try to get my credit card details.

I received a telegram with a letter from National Awards Reporting Agency saying i am the potential recipient or R8 576 243.00 only if can reply immediately by depositing R129.90 to a Ned bank account in the name of International Merchandise services. S o before i could do all this i decided to find out about all this in the Internet & to my surprise the complains i see here leaves much to be desired. How can our authorities let these crooks roam around robbing people of their hard earned cash ? Be warned out there fellows when its too good to be true give it question marks.

Hi my name is Lettie yes they very bad the already robbed me R600, , the y work hand in hand with Madame Gloria The Clairvoyant actualy Madame Gloria and IMS is the same people and other companys from The US they crook people every where no one stops them, we should be careful for easy coming money i think

My mother is a pensioner she has been paying R800.00 for 2yrs now she even still think she is going to de the 118000.00 & 1million from this company she received 3 letters everymonth sometimes more she deposit 215.00 at nedbank or sometimes send a postal order to this company, she is only getting her pension money so she sacrifies staff that she need so she can pay for this letter. i hate this company the 1st day they send those letter to my mother cos now she is sad when i told her that this is a scam already over R20000.00 might have been lost to this nonsense company. south africans pls be aware of this company it has destroy so many peoples lives by giving them hope that they will be millionaires and because they believed they take their last cent to be conned by this company

Mr Victor Palacios, I Miss SP Ngcobo, I have motor vehicle certification.I SP Ngcobo customer no 7626646 request a claim of Polo Vivo1.4 car award no 7626646 release code 11735.Your co-oparation regarding my request will be highly appreciated.

I also received a letter on the 10/02/2013 stating that a have won a vw golf, so all I have to do is to deposit R159, 00 into their account. But until today nothing happened about the price. They keep on sending me letters demanding more money. So how can u win something and pay for it and received nothing.

I ALSO GET HIGH POINT OF WIN MAIL PACKGAGE, IN MY POST BOX CLAIMING THAT I AM WINNER. AND TOLD TO SEND CASH BUT I DID SO, CAME ANOTHER TRICK THAT IF I ORDER IN R280 I WILL DEFINITELY BE A WINNER, BUT TOTAL SCAM
MG MASIPA / POLOKWANE

Please see my post/ complaint - i want to open a case of fraud but the more we are the stronger the case - it's no use opening a case for like R200, but if it was a few thousand rand, if we stand together, we can open one. Please contact me I already have one other person ready

I have the same complaint like all of you . I even spoke to Enver at Customer Services at tel [protected] telling me that I do not understand their competition rules. The winners will be noticed by Monday and I suppose it will start all over again.
1. Pay R215.90
2. Another form comes back to pay R189.90
3. Yet another form comes back to pay another R189.90
I even have a Freight/Box no W02041913, Terminal -P-, on ledger/Shipping no 5513615, Ref 12745, then I got form 7883 Storage no KPT 089655/MS94 and also NJS/PC-D7/HO28/71195/1/10448 Q00000014 CONFIRMED BY WAREHOUSE MANAGER 23191 AND THE FORM SAYS notice of intent to deliver merchandise.

I have just received a letter today stating that I won R100 000.00 and i must pay R177, oo for some pendant before they can process my winnings.
I always look up these companies before I get happy and excited. But as it seems it is indeed a SCAM! Its ridiculous. But i must admit they really take time doing these letters.

Thanks, great site! This just saved one of my staff falling for this! unfortunately there are millions of people with out internet access...

I almost deposited an amount in excess of R 250 to these fraudsters when I decided to look them up on the web. Their website looks cheap and unprofessional. Not to mention the spelling mistakes. But the letter I received in the mail looks very legitimate and reassuring. Regrettably they now have my address so I'll be sure to find more of these scams in my mailbox. The letter also claims that it is my only chance 'to give this matter your immediate attention today!'. So if I hear from them again regarding this matter they will only be proving, themselves, that this is indeed a scam. Next step is to take it up with the magazine that I found the scratch card in...

###en scams i was planning 2 deposit R187.90 2morrow morning thank u guys 4 warning us

I am extremely disappointed at how easily your personal information and address is picked up by fraudsters and scammers. What is going to prevent fraudsters and scammers from accessing your identity information? This type of fraud and scam must be stopped with the culprits publicly named and shamed on every news media and consumer watch bulletin.
In this day and age where most people are in desperate financial difficulties this "false" hope must be publicly thrashed with the "courts" if we have them punishing this type of crime with hefty jail time and hefty fines with no compromise !

Morning people on Saturday I went to deposit the little money I got.Thanks to my mother because she was so positive about this winnings .She ended up giving me her pension money because I was telling her that this people keep on demanding money and I am sick off it., but as old and poor as she is she gave me that I send money for the firth time, as we speak I went to deposit the amount of R300.00 because I won a brand new 2014 Nissan and the amount of R105, 000, 00. Thanks to Mr. Geek about the contact details. But I have lost a lot of money

Check out the e-mail I just received. At first I was excited I share my Literary skills in the wedsite, caugh some company attention.
