Forumer you are complaining against: 1349

Item being bought: 1x iPhone 3GS 32GB (Black)

Original thread link: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1469322&hl=

Date of transaction: 28/06/10

Amount of money involved: RM400

Details of the complaint (in chronological order):

1. Seller opened a preorder/bulk for the iPhone 3GS. 16GB and 32GB versions at RM1,400 and RM1,500, respectively.

2. A deposit of RM400 was required to secure an order (for both 16GB and 32GB versions)

3. I placed a deposit of RM400 for 1x iPhone 3GS 32GB (Black)

4. Seller stated that the ETA is at the end of July 2010.

5. When asked for his name and contact number, the seller was reluctant to give those details.

6. Towards the end of July 2010, I asked the seller if the phone is ready to be collected.

7. Seller claims that he is in the US and will only be able to perform a COD transaction in the middle of August 2010.

8. At the same time, the seller provided a picture of the stock:

9. Seller asked if I wanted to have the item sent via courier to Malaysia. I declined.

10. I requested for the serial number and IMEI of my phone. Seller dodged the question.

11. I asked the seller why he refused to provide the serial number and IMEI of the phone that I'll be receiving and requested for more pictures of the stock.

12. Again, the seller dodged the question. He maintains that he is still in the US and gave some lame excuses, saying that Internet access is expensive and "hard to get".

13. Seller even questioned me, saying that I'm the only one who has been asking so many questions.

14. I told him that it's my right as a buyer to ask.

15. Seller hasn't been online since 03/08/10 (as of 30/08/10, 11:10PM). His profile: http://forum.lowyat.net/user/342597.

My Comments

I do not have the seller's name and contact number. However, from the bank account number that he provided, I discovered that the bank account is registered under the name of a company. I proceeded to purchase more information regarding this company from the Companies Commission of Malaysia / Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia. Details below:

Company Details

Company Name: Iconic Management Sdn. Bhd.

Company Number: 875516-H

Bank Account Number: HSBC 383618618101

Registered Address: 5B-1, Persiaran Greentown 5, Pusat Perdagangan Greentown, Ipoh, 30450, Perak.

Nature of Business: "RESTAURANT, DEAL IN FOOD, GENERAL TRADERS"

Directors/Officers:

1. Chew Bee Chuan (Director) - 851007-08-5808
2. Lee Poh Sim (Director) - 860922-38-6422
3. Noor Ariah Binti Maaris (Secretary) - 730914-01-5482

Shareholders/Members:

1. Lee Poh Sim - 5,025 shares - 860922-38-6422
2. Chew Bee Chuan - 5,025 shares - 851007-08-5808
3. Liang Tiancheng - 25,025 shares - G18362014
4. Luo Ci De - 125,025 shares - G16305374

Now, how should I go about tracking the c*nt who conned me of my RM400? I know I should have gotten his name and contact number prior to the transaction. Could it be the person holding the most shares?

Should I proceed to make a police report?

Please advise .

Amazing, I really want to say you deserved it because you simply dump your money to an UNKNOWN seller.

Yeah, and amazingly, I really want to say thank you for your rather "constructive" comment.

Based on the information that I have, there isn't any contact number given.

I can find the company's number through TM, though it may not be of much help because this company may turn out to be a "fake" one, being used as a front for scamming purposes.

Anyway thanks smile.gif

Yes, there are many others who banked in their money to the seller and I've already contacted some of them. None have received their item. It's up to them to come in here and let their voices be heard.

Before more trolls come in, I would like to make it CLEAR that I was aware of the risks of banking in the cash to the seller. Moreover, the price is too good to be true.

I was already expecting this seller to turn out to be a scammer. I was willing to take a risk and lose RM400.

The reason I'm posting this complaint here is to bring the seller down, if possible.

I second this. Just lodge a police report as soon as possible, from that it should be easier to continue to gather more information/evidence. Just IN CASE the seller proven to be genuine (by any miracle), no harm is done.

You can also PM one of the Staff/Admin to check the seller's IP address. Should be useful in investigation.

Yup, you are right. RM400 is not a small amount. There were also other victims in this case who lost way more than I did.

Anyway thanks smile.gif
