Due to advise from kind forummer, i tried called NIKON MALAYSIA today to get more detailed info about the UV filter.

Unfortunately the item never existed! already confirm with technical person from NIKON MALAYSIA.
i later submitted (emailed) the pix of the product to the Nikon Malaysia technical staff for a legal written confirmation that this item never existed from Nikon malaysia.

im still waiting for the NIKON MALAYSIA written confirmation regarding the filter issue. The technical staff promised me to sent it back to me tomorrow.

and the story goes on. i'm planning to seek some help from the Consumer Tribunal after i receive the written confirmation letter.


anyone have any suggestion? help maybe?


for those tho dint get the whole story can be found here:

He can say he don't know you.
If you show him receipt, he say it wasn't him.

the name of the seller are written on the receipt.

Nikon never produced UV filter.

They only got NC (which stands for Neutral Clear). Even the original Nikon NC also don't cost up till RM5xx!

U're being cut at the throat. Why didn't u do some research b4 shopping?

Go to the Garage Sales -> Camera, Notebook subsection & hit filter @ the search column would save you all this trouble.

Try doing it nicely 1st. Go back there n ask for the manager n try to sort it out with him. Tell him if all else fails, u will b going to the Tribunal. I'm sure the manager will give n take a little.

agree with bro ian, approach the shop nicely before you go "hostile"

or, you may suggest to exchange other items worth RM599 e.g. a 50mm f/1.8 lens.

scorgio, Nikon does have UV filters... the L37Cs but I heard Nikon has stopped manufacturing these filters.

It's actually willing buyer, willing seller. Fortunately for u, the item is a fake so u have a case. If it was an original product being overpriced then u don't have a case oredi coz u willingly bought it.

Agree with you.
TS: Please bring evidence to prove that it's a fake.

Nope. its fraud. I would be extremely pissed.

Ehh, have to let him know 50mm f1/.8 around Rm300 nee leh.

Scare he thought that prime Rm599 and ask to change that one.
Even exchange to that Rm599 prime, still kena con.
LOL!

What Uncle Ian meant was that.
It's a "willing buyer, willing seller" situation.
However, that doesn't apply because the seller sold fake goods/items.

It is not fraud if the item was genuine Nikon.

yes, i dun mind if the item are genuine, but today i called Nikon Malaysia to ask about either were the filter exist, i talk for a couple of staff and they said their never had kind of filter. as for the seller, i already talk with him and he said that the filter just released on sept09 so we cant see the filter on the website yet ( their reason is that nikon did not update the website yet. )



i already emailed pix of those lenses to the Nikon Malaysia staff. i also request a legal written proof that Nikon doesn't produce this kind of filter. the staff replied to me that he would reply asap.



yes its not a fraud but on this case i personally called Nikon Malaysia to confirm that this type of filter exist. but unfortunately no. their answer is that the most exp filter their got were priced around 400+ and their never heard about HMC type of filter produced by Nikon.


Im still waiting for those legal written proof from Nikon Malaysia that this item were not among their produced item.
believe me, im not the type to make such an uproar about this matter but as a consumer i think i deserve to know about the detailed information regarding the item i had bought.

I never doubted the shop. but after some research and info from the official dealers. they never cross any of those type yet.
i hope the staff that confirmed that this item fake are wrong but if this is the reality then.. i really need help >.<

therefore, i pledge to you guys to help me as i'm an stupid idiot person that hardly knows how to deal this kind of matters.

very sorry to hear that...rm599 for a UV filter and rm199 for screen protector.

Agree with the rest,go talk to the shop manager and get other genuine items worth rm599.

Hope you can get refund to replacement.....

Good luck

yesterday i go the shop and talk with the salesman that sold those items to me. first i asked why the filter so expensive.. he said he just quoted from the price from pc itself. later i asked to talk with their manager but he said the manager already go home. as its an office hour and that time already past 5pm and i understand. Then i asked how can i meet/contact the manager? can i come tomorrow to meet him at office hour?

the salesman said to me that its hard to tell as its not about you. its about whether the manager want to see me or not.

im speechless.. nevertheless the salesman asked for my number to call me back.

WTF? ban the shop lah~

I'm pretty sure the manager will beg to meet you if you show him the legal letter from Nikon Malaysia

Now it's not the manager dowanna see him ler. The salesman kecut oredi dare not tell the manager. Call the company n ask for the manager urself. Speak nicely n calmly to the manager. Remember it's the salesman who screwed u n not the manager so be nice to the manager n he shud help u out.
