I did not read all the pages, for this cases.. in my experience bank don't guarantee the payment form in such ways. Unless LC = Letter of Credit issue by your bank (as exporter) and negotiated with his bank (importer) with both way sign agree. And bank will also charge on this transaction because is a business deal *that's how bank earn money*.

SO again, I take a STRONG GUESS.. NO SUCH things as bank guarantee payment unless LC.

for TS case, if no LC terms with bank. Just forget the deal UNLESS he really bank in HARD CASH into your bank account with the NUMBER OF AMOUNT appear in your account. that's it.

*experience*
I got a few friends receive this kind of email, all same type scam.

If the above info is wrong, please correct me. I also human.. might make mistake and willing to learn.

I am very unhappy about this. I am a foreigner (oghang puteh) living in Malaysia. When I want to buy something I ask the seller 'boleh bayo dgn paypal?' And they think I'm a scammer. Or they just ask 'apa tu bos?'

So I have to paypal my overseas money first to my wife's account and withdraw to the RHB Bank and it takes about 4 days to complete. After that when I try to pay for the item I got the answer: 'dah jual dah maaf bos'.

So life is beautiful...... wink.gif

Omg I think I almost kena scam too!! This person text me first using weird number 63001 and the content:

QUOTE
Hello, i saw your advert Hobby & Collectibles on mudah.my, is it for sale, only email me back at lukebojan12@gmail.com, just for best offer.


Thinking someone was interested in my stuff (i sell malaysian collectibles so i just assumed that collectors from overseas are interested), i emailed the guy back and this was his response: (i copy & paste the email)

QUOTE
From:Luke bojan <lukebojan12@gmail.com>
To: seller.me@hotmail.com
i want the both and i am ok with your price, give me your paypal email so i can proceed
with the payment and i will be responsible for all transportation
charges to my home in Scotland, and I will be adding the 5% PayPal
surcharge to the total amount i will be paying you. So i will be
paying directly into your PayPal account without any delay, and i hope
you have a PayPal account. If you have one already, just send me the
email address to send the payment to, which is the email address you
use for it or you can send me a PayPal money request, so once i
receive the details i will go ahead with the payment and then i will
contact my shipping agent after you get the payment and i will be
responsible for all transportation charges. I will need your home
address for the merchandise to be Picked Up by the Shipping Company
and other necessary things

So kindly get back to me with this details bellow
for the payment

Paypal Name
PayPal Email address
Total Cost
Phone Number
Home Address for pick-up


I thought of going through with the transaction but luckily my brother stopped me and i did some digging.... Walaaa came upon this thread and am now sure it's a scam... Or is it not?? shakehead.gif

Anyone kena from this guy before?

and leave our ads alone so only genuine local will contact if interested biggrin.gif

Thank god I did some searching about this. Deal just seemed to good to be true.

Same situation as some of you guys. Received an sms (local number) right after i posted on mudah. The scammer gave me an email address and was almost duped because he gave a local address and some indian name with local hp no.

But the Bank (Smile Bank Plc) being from UK along with the very strange email confirmation asking to post item before releasing the money just triggered doubts.

The email add : iyanu1980@outlook.com
Tel No: +601112288987

Oh and the shipping address given:

"Name: Pavithran Arumugam
Address:476-16 jalan kerdas 1 batu 5 1/2 gombak
kuala lumpur
Zip Code:53300
60127108062"

btw the email is already in scam hint database Scam Hint

Be careful people.

It not only from nigeria. But i've also got scammer trying to scam me from inside malaysia.
I've try to sell my Galaxy s5 before. He contact me through whatsapp saying he stay in Sabah.
After few chat we agreed to deal. Long story...short..
He then say to me he will bank in to me as soon as I sent(whatsapp) the poslaju receipt.
I said how long the money will take? He said there at his place only got alliance bank whereas i'm using maybank. He said the bank officer told me the payment should clear after 24hours..
Did you guys know payment through MEPS interbank system is immediately regarding which bank?.
Then i said to him I'll only post the item when i receive payment. Then he called me cheating la whatsoever. I said the terms is clear, Money comin in and item good to go.
He said then I can cheat him when i received the payment, I reply " then that's why I prefer COD" BTW all online txn was like pay first and receive later. Lol

Its a scam..not to worry abt them hacking into yr bank acct. Unless you specified the pwd then there is no need to worry.

One way to notice is when they tend to use jumbled/mis-typed sentences alot in their communications.

My assumption is they are communicating with many ppl at the same time on their mobile and too lazy to correct them.

Its such a shame alot of these scammers are from african region...but what i dont get is why the locals assist them

Later you'll find out that the scammer stays in malaysia. There was no account holding any money for you. He/she/syndicate only want the item. Once shipped to the address provided they'll say item broken or simply vanish. Or worse will continue the con saying to return the broken item must pay customs.

so guys I bet this will not come to an end.
I am in need of you guys to give me advice as I'm dealing with buyer to buy my laptop worth 3.4k at mudah.my
he offered to pay half of the price at instant (1.2k) and gonna pay another half in the upcoming 2 months (1.1k in the 1st month and another half in 2nd).
so what do you guys think?
even IF he did pay at instant that 1.2k, how sure are you for the other half of it?
