Radio presenter and celebrity, Sharifah Shahirah, highlights the dangers celebrities face when dealing with scam companies due to a lack of understanding of contracts. She warns that the allure of lucrative offers can lead to poor judgment and urges fellow celebrities to conduct thorough research before accepting any deals.
Shah Alam: Radio presenter and celebrity, Sharifah Shahirah , did not deny that many celebrities are trapped by scam companies because of their failure to understand the contracts offered. Sharifah Shahirah , or Shiera, 51, said that artists are not unintelligent but sometimes they easily agree to be involved in a project or offer because of the involvement of other celebrities.
However, it is clear that Shiera, so far she has never received an offer of hundreds of thousands of ringgit because she considers herself an artist in the category or grade D. “Alhamdulillah, so far I have never been caught up in a scam syndicate that exploits artists. “Artists are not unintelligent, there are indeed contracts that need to be signed but the details in the contract sometimes are confusing. “They will continue to agree and not think long when seeing the involvement of other celebrities who are ‘grandfathers’ because they feel that the company is legitimate,” she said. Shiera said this when met at the opening ceremony of the fourth branch of Kays Steak & Lobster in Elmina, here, today. In addition, Shiera did not deny that lucrative offers can blind someone. However, she said, every celebrity or influencer should investigate if offered an unreasonable amount. Shiera, who operates independently without a management agency, admitted to being worried about becoming a victim of companies that claim to be high-profile. Following this, Shiera said she is more comfortable dealing with agents appointed by the company because they are more convincing and all the terms in the contract are through the agent. “The offers I receive are mostly family food products, so far I have never been approached by a financial consulting company. “Who doesn't want a lucrative offer? I admit I can be 'lost' if I receive an offer of almost half a million. “But if it's true, there is also a feeling of unease. Not that I am worried about where they get that much money because usually large companies are more careful,” she said. Earlier, several celebrities, including local icons, were reported to be under the radar of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) investigation, believed to be involved in a scam syndicate offering loans. This follows SPRM's crackdown on corruption and money laundering activities involving financial consulting companies and bank officers at several financial institutions in Ops Sky. So far, 27 individuals have been arrested, including 18 bank officers, eight employees of the involved financial consulting companies and one civilian, and all of them have been released from remand with SPRM bail
