why not? i hv sold item worth RM7k before, brought me to his fren house to test. then go to bank withdraw money while i wait. then he count in front of me. in his fren house. i know its not 14k. but still a lot.

look guys, i think many of you have said ur piece already.
no point keep on drumming THE OBVIOUS.
TS i'm sure understand what you guys have to say.
even to the point of humiliating himself before you all. still wanna kick a downed oppenent?
TS is humble man, let him be ok? he accept his own carelessness.
But, he never tried to defend and justify in defiance to all ur rude and presumptuous comments.
he take it sweet and respectfully.
have the common courtesy and decency to afford him the same.

to other guys who have been supportive with kind and constructive approach (read: not condescendingly), props to all of you. 

TS, still hoping the best for you.

i disagree, there is con case because THERE ARE CONMEN. Greed and evil desire cause it. if everyone on earth are dungu and noob, but there is no greed and wickedness in peoples heart, NO CON CASE.

but i don't want to argue this. this thread was started to serve as a warning because TS cares enough to share. it was not meant to be a space to hurl insults and argue who is correct or wrong.

greed,even good people also will have...con man will oni aim weaker person..Con man normally wont use force and will use brain...If use force they will go kedai emas and shot and rob...WOnt every1 is dungu and noob..But as long as they are,then con man will continue to con..

If u dun wan argue,then dont argue at all then arguement wont even starts.

fine.

apis, are you getting nearer to the conman or still no progress?

Hi TS

why not u check with our service provider the owner that use the number? show them the police report and demand for the number owners detail .. it can help u for sure .. anyway, really sorry for what u been thru ..

Is there anything that each of us can do to help ts besides symphatize or hurl insults on ts ?

Imho , the conman will surely try to sell the laptop, maybe he will advertise through mudah, lelong.com, or other means. Since we know the serial number, we can help ts by checking up anyone who advesrtise hp laptop for sale, same model that was stolen. Maybe by working together, we might just catch the conman, by the way, please don't act alone. It's just a suggestion.

As for me, I will surely try to do my small part.

apis, totally off topic but what his age?
is he 20 something ?
also is his english good or like heavy chinese accent?

i swear to god i will cut ur neck if i see him..sorry bro for ur loss... ..panjatkan doa pada yang ESA banyak²..have a great future ahead..

Hey sorry to your loses.... I don't know what religion are u but just forgive that dude.... RM14k might be a big price but at least u can think of indirectly blessing him... Smile always... whats lost is lost, just be more wise...

but you entering a person house with 14k worth of item is a bit dangerous don't u think? Lucky he just took and run but not asked few people to tie u up and steal ur things?

First rule of transaction, your place and not his. If they choose, you will be at a disadvantage. It must always be a public location. But damn.... 14K.... damn crazy la.

salam apis

14k tu bukan jumlah yang sikit..
tapi apa pun qada dan qadar dah ditentukan..
ada hikmah sebalik kejadian ni..
dalam meniagga nie kalau tak kena tipu memng tak sah..
sebab tu menniagga nie sunnah rasullulah..ia mengajar kita besabar,,
besabar itu pula separuh dari iman..

apis yakin lah,.ada rezki yang lebih besar yang hafiz akan dapat nanti berkat syukur dan kesabaran apis..

jangan putus semangat nak meniagga..
kesalahan kita mengajar kita lebih matang dan berhati2..

dulu aku pun pernah kena tipu..tapi hari nie aku dapat lebih baik dari itu..
masa ngan takdir yang akan menentukan..
hidup kena teruskan jugak..
salam

macam mana bro boleh percaya... kena beringat, apa2 kena deal kat public area.. jgnkan baru kenal atau 1st time jumpa, sy dengan Billhambridge pun case con juga. sy kena tipu.

Make sure bro, next time.. any cod with client, do it at public area. dont do it at customer/client place. just in case..

jgn putus asa

may god bless u
good luck
