Bank Negara team swings into action against Bestino Group
By LOURDES CHARLES

KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara has frozen the assets of Bestino Group Berhad, pending investigations into its alleged illegal deposit-taking and issuance of redeemable preference shares.

It is learnt that a task force had begun a full investigation into the company and its related activities following reports that Bestino had issued preference shares worth more than RM300mil to investors.
Sources said the authorities were investigating if the company had other branches besides those in Ipoh and Petaling Jaya.
It is learnt that investors were initially given gold bars with the face value equivalent to the amount invested.

However, they claimed that after several months of investing with Bestino, they were told by the company that Bank Negara did not allow the company to collect more than RM500mil in cash.
An investor, who declined to be identified, said that when he invested with the company in 2006, he was given gold bars with the face value equivalent to the amount invested.
However, he said those who wanted to invest in April last year were issued redeemable preference shares with a promised return of 3% per month.


Sape Bestino ni?
Kalau baca betul betul..macam Best Tino (best perempuan; tino bahasa ganu/kelantan..maksud dia orang perempuan)
Saya sendiri tak pernah dengar company ni.
Tapi diorang dah kumpul RM 300 juta duit orang ramai (wahhhh..orang Malaysia ni tak la miskin mana rupanya)
p/s – biasanya yg kena tipu ngn skim skim macam ni – orang Melayu. Tokei tokei yg menipu dia – ramainya Cnia

Ape yg kita dapat sedut dari berita macam ni?
1. Orang Malaysia banyak duit
2. Orang Malaysia ni tamak, nak cepat kaya, nak cari pelaburan yg high return tapi tak mau buat kerja peluh sikit
3. Orang Malaysia cepat kelabu mata bila dapat tawaran yg nampak menarik + sikit sikit je masuk akal.

Camner nak minimumkan risiko kita akan ditipu macam ni?
1. Jangan percaya terus. Terus bersikap konservatif – simpan di ASB/ASW/ Tabung Haji dan tempat tempat yg disahkan oleh Bank Negara Malaysia
2. Set dalam minda “Buka bisnes sendiri lagi bagus” dari bagi duit kat orang yg kita tak kenal / baru hari ni la kenal
3. Tanya kat orang orang ni – dari mana datangnya keuntungan untuk bisnes ni. Berapa % keuntungan anggaran. Kalau boleh tengok aliran kewangan (cash flow) bisnes tersebut.
4. Take 5 days off bila dapat opportunity macam ni. Balik rumah dulu, fikir-fikir. Jangan buat keputusan melulu.
5. Invest kat diri sendiri
