Similar story. Short consumer telephone survey with promise to receive a small prize (MP3 player) for participating and a ticket number in a e-raffle at a Brisbane convention. I'm in Adelaide. Next day a call from 'Dorothy' informing me I had won second prize of HK$600,000. The supposed name of the 'business' was the Libai Company. Checked the H/K business register and there is a small company with that name. The register did not provide any address of that company. Had to provide to them via email a form of my identity. No bank account details were requested or given.
Later received a call from 'the supervisor, Elizabeth, that the accountants had approved my payment and a cheque had been lodged with the Bank of Gangdou in H/K. I was told that a 'bank official', in this case, Margo, would call. This duly happened but I needed to provide a Fund Certificate Form. Checked up on that too and it turns out that these need to be issued by the sender not the receiver of the money. I believe this is where the rubber meets the road with this particular scam as there would be fees to pay.
Did some more checking after sending an email to them. Their email address is [enquiry @ libai.hk]
There is no Bank of Gangdou in Hong Kong.
Must say that it all sounded too good to be true although I had secret hopes that it could be.
During the course of the week I made several calls to 'Elizabeth' and to 'Margo' but they were 'busy' and would ring me later. No-one called.
They had me fooled for a while especially as no bank details were requested.

Yup same scam!! I won $600,000 HK ($83,000 Aust)
Went through form without providing ID. When "Richard" called me about "funds certificate" I said it was a scam.... Guess I won't be hearing from them again.

Don't be fooled I got caught did the research and all contacted the Hong Kong Police but after an investigation could do nothing, Amercial express Australia would not co-operate so the Police could catch these theives. Looks all above board but when I contacted the Company also they did not know anything about this scam also said these people did not work for them. Once these people starting ringing you they won't stop

Same here in Nz they are obv going world wide with this. I got to the fund certificate part and googled what one was and found this site. Ya know all along of course but ya humoir them in case. They must know I was skeptical I was never excited about my winnings. Anything for free is a scam these days. Cheers for the confirmation :)

thank goodness that at 72 I had the good sense to do a check first for having one 2nd prize from Wing On!!! I must say I was tempted as with so many calls (at least 5) from Andrea from (02) 6100 3558 I hoped maybe this was genuine but no such luck!

Same here people. This started last week when they phoned to do a "survey" and to thank me, gave me a free ticket No. GE10197 in their promotional raffle. Only the phone number is Perth (08) 6102 5583 name of "Cherina" from Wing On Group Hong Kong. ( NOT !!! ) Apparently I have won HK$400,000 or AU$50,000. They wanted my email address to send "the form" through which I must complete in order to claim my prize. I told them to fax it, as my fax isn't working and they obviously have my phone/fax number. I have emailed Today Tonight advising of this scam and hopefully they will do a story to save unsuspecting people from becoming victims! Be sure to spread the word people!
Also, these phone numbers are being paid for by someone! They are all likely being diverted to one number (mobile ??? ). Someone somewhere must have signed up with a Telco to being using these phone numbers! Gives the Law a place to start! I have a special treat for them if they phone back! hehe!
PS Just yesterday I had a call from an Indian sounding woman advising she was from Microsoft and that I had a virus problem with my computer. Bottom line is she wanted access into my computer so she could fix it for me over the phone. More like steal my identify, bank records etc. She didn't like me calling her an oxygen theif!

Exactly the same story here, can't believe it! Shopping survey, E-Raffle, gave me ticket number. Called back to confirm, then a few more days to say congrats I had won 2nd, $400,000HK (very noisy party going on in the background!) OMG - These people!!! "Jessica' gave me her number if I had any probs flling out the prize claim form - (02) 6100 3558.
Name on the 'claim form' is WING ON GROUP.
Was suss about all this from the beginning, and was just waiting for them to ask for bank details or something. They haven't yet, but obviously from everyone else's stories, that is the next step. A#%HOLES! I didnt even have to give them any info, they had it all already, wish I knew exactly how!! Good to hear everyone else's stories.

First I was asked a short 'Market Research' question, and then as a reward my name would be put in a draw for a prize. I was invited to the prize drawing, but said 'no'. Well, today I was told that in the prize draw in Canberra last night, my ticket #GE88545 had won the 2nd prize of 400,000HKD. I was to receive a certificate later to-day, 16.3.12, by email which I'd have to fill in and return to the company's head office in Hong Kong: the Wing On Group, were supposedly doing market research into Australia where they are planning to expand their department stores into. But all reports being for the same prize and amount of cash smells like a scam with no imagination. If I had any trouble with filling in the form I was to phone Cherie , who spoke good English with a Chinese accent, on (02) 6100 3558.
Wendy's mentioning paying almost A$3000 to facilitate the payment of her prize is the clincher: it must be a scam. Money laundering, is a possibility!?

I received one of these calls too and you guessed it.... 2nd prize and it was 400000HKD. I first spoke with Julie from # (07) 3102 3755 who told me that the Wing On Group (a legit HK co. BTW) was doing a survey on shopping habits in AU. They had an E-Raffle and she gave me the #. Sure enough she calls me a couple of days later and tells me I have won the prize. Same deal as above apart from the name change and the survey questions. I didn't get offerd any damn MP4 player though!! :(. I have also spoken to an Angela, allegedly in the HK office (0011 852 8191 2366) of Wing on and also Julie, although NOT at Hang Seng BNK but Bank of East Asia instead. Was told something to do with a Funds certification form and then quen I questioned that they brought FATF into it. I told them I wanted it in writing and am awaiting the email now. Hmm... I was considering opening a bank account at HSBC HK and one here on the GC to make the transfer easier for them! lol I wonder how they will respond to that?!!
