YOU CAN BUY ITEMS WITH RIDICULOUS PRICE ( SOMETIMES THERE IS SELLER WHICH IS LOW PRICE ) " but the thing is please please please always bare in mind that the seller might be a conman " keep this in mind and no postage please for amounts more than rm100 " " last but not least , always bring friends together and meet at a right place which have lots of public attention " |

I guess we have no chance at all to see the culprit been caught. But, the most important thing is its lesson. And i got 2 out of 3 laptops back.

bro, sorry to hear about your loss.
this is a lesson to be learnt by other forumers. IF IN DOUBT, COD, and during the transaction, don't get distracted. |

I wonder, phone no cannot detect the owner? i thought registration for prepaid n post paid can be used in cases like this. but i guess registration also can be faked... well, thx for the info TS. give me something to remember always.

U know what, i have never give up on trying to contact that phone number again and again all this time.. surprisingly one day around last month, i can get thru the number but there is already a new owner. Maxis has reused that abandoned number. |

Wholy sheet... Reading your story reminds me of a so-called friend who befriended me on an online game i used to play last time, and conned about RM2000 worth of online items. It was a heart-ache, those time and hours of game-play and saving up, even got his HP number, just to bullshit and con some game items. Well, masa itu i masih budak2 la. Haihs, God have mercy to their souls.
But let bygones be bygones, we have a life to live and not worth the sakit hati these low life inflicts, say thanks to them, laugh about it and be glad that we've became wiser and more careful in life |
