Conman in RM500,000 scam sought
Alina Simon

ALOR STAR, KEDAH, Sat.
A young confidence trickster has got away with about RM500,000 in two weeks.

Pos Malaysia He did this by buying goods in bulk using bad cheques and re-selling the items at rock-bottom prices fast.

Police said the suspect, 25, had duped 25 businessmen from as far as Kuala Lumpur in the scam which he pulled off last month.

State Commercial Crime Department chief Deputy Superintendent Ghuzlan Saleh said in all the cases, the suspect had issued post-dated cheques to willing wholesalers for a wide range of goods which included diapers, canned drinks and fruits.

He said the suspect's scam came to light after a sports club here complained of a bounced RM10,000 cheque for five golf sets on May 19.

Earlier the same month, he cheated a wholesaler in Penang of household goods, comprising kitchenware and appliances, valued at about RM94,000.

Another case in Penang involved the purchase of several thousand chicks and ducklings, worth RM60,000, from a poultry farmer.

Even lorry companies which helped to deliver the goods to his buyers fell for his scam.

Ghuzlan said to pass himself off as a genuine businessman, the suspect had rented two shoplots in Bakar Arang near Sungai Petani.

He said many of the goods were displayed at the shoplots as going-out-of-business items while some were delivered directly to buyers who paid in advance.

"By the time the wholesalers and businessmen realised they had been duped, it was already too late.

"They tried calling the suspect on the handphone or at his office, but the telephone lines had been disconnected," he said.

Ghuzlan said the police had located two of the suspect's customers in Perak and recovered several crates of canned drinks and more than 100 bags of fertiliser from them.

"We appeal to those who have been cheated or bought the goods from the suspect to contact us."

He said the police were also eager to contact Chian Kok Foo to help in the investigations.

His last known address was No 2 Persiaran Bercham Timur 3, Ipoh.

Those with information on Chian can contact Chief Inspector Zainal Omar at 019-4414651 or the Kedah police contingent headquarters at 04-7741222.

Refreshment!
Wow..PE/Biu/etc.. u manage to do it again. Glad to know u are still alive n kicking. u really make a lot of conman envy of you. Lots of lowyatians conman are trying to con ppl. Mayb they are inspired by u. Can get lots of money at 1 go. Nowander so many Garage sale black list or bulk order frauds. Ahhh...i hate to say this but i was 1 of your victims. The radeon bulk remember? Anywa, i did what i could to try to nab you but u know la, our enforcement officer, government servant is a total xxxx.
Are you saying something PE/Biu/etc? Oh..you agree with me. Thats not all issit? Icic, ya...lowyat.net is a fraud heaven/playground for u.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me share the reasons why. These are all the holes which i noticed. Why frauds are still so successfull here.

1. PE/Biu/etc has eaten more rice than most of us. I would definately say his knows more than we do. If you have eaten more rice than him and still got conned, then call youself ....(u know).

2. Who's the person/persons in charge of building this website-> www.lowyat.net. If you scroll below, it might be (Vijandren Ramadass). Those who is in the IT field would know how a website come about. My point is, the person in charge does not even help to report that a fraud happen in his own turf. Hes not even doing the very best/effort to nab him. So why u all bother? If the person cant even help, do u think the victims report does any good? (This include staff, moderators, admin). Mayb he only cares bout the money from ads.

3. Safe trader tag is also total xxxx. PE/Biu/etc..con let say RM70, 000 + current con = ~90, 000. A persons average pay is about 2 500. If u divide 90 000 by 2500 = 36.
He can live nicely for 3 years. After 3 years, he will come back to lowyat.net (his fraud playground/source of income) to con again. From this money, he can build his reputation by buying real goods and sell them in bulk. After that in few months time, he will be another safe trader with another nickname. It all goes in circles.

4. Most of the members here are not even above 20 years old. What do you expect them to do? Tell the parents? The parents might even wallap them first. Report police? I think they themselves are more afraid of the police than PE/Biu/etc. Also, do u think police take reports serious if you are not a full grown adult? Think about it. What bout those above 20? They got a job or too busy to bother. Easily a month they will earn back more than what they lost. I doubt there are members above age 30 or so.

5. The enforcement force is......needless to say. Whats more the 5 days work only. Expect cases to be delayed even longer.

6. Except the fact that we are all MALAYSIANS. Talk big no action. Expecting others to do the job.

I will add more if i am able to find more. U can kindly add yours too.

**Some of u might feel insulted. U might even flame me, mod might even ban me or whatever. Just remember that by doing so, hes still at large. Whats the point. Huh..cold hard facts is always hard to swallow.

edit: add attachment. Compilation of his information.

you are the man

I am willing to go on a whacking spree man... seriously...

beating up a conman/thief/rapist/murderer is no problem, as long as u don't use weapons just barehands. it's all in self defence according to some fellas in the balai ler. if use weapon also they just saman u as long as u don't killl the fella. if u got jalan, stabbing him a few times is ok also

LOL! Damn! This is getting more brutal everytime.

aiks, use weapon and stabbing can be very serious, just use hands...

are u kidding me?

so many folks here want a piece of him la

each one juz giv him one punch adi enough to kill him loh

Each one just poke him also enough already.

As I said i knew him. He worked at IMAX. Its actually a cyber cafe in ipoh. He was the tech guy there fixing pcs and stuff. Also collects money at the counter. He had no place to stay in Ipoh so he slept at the cyber cafe. I dont think he can recognize me anymore if he saw me. It was quite some time ago maybe 5-8 years. Alot of my close friends also knows this guy as we always hang out at IMAX lastime.
Sorry I dont have any more information about him other than this.

He is cacat one. He cannot run. If you see him and chase him sure u will catch him cause his legs got problem one.

NIce post there.. anyway i would like to add a part to the safe trader tag thingie.. coz its know that at Garage sales, everything u buy is just at your own risk..
So maybe we could try lelong.com.my style.. but for every safe trader, we could have like a recent photo, or a sign-up contract by a guarantor that this this this person will not dissapear or else he has to bear everything, a recent IC n wateva.. (except that the fact we need to pay to become a trader).. just my 2 cents.. DONT FLAME ME

it's a good idea. one I suggested in the other thread

aiya...i think the only place he can go now is indonesia.... coz no one noe him there....hahahahahhaa

ayoooo.when this will be catch huh..until still no action kaaaa.what policeman do.aduhsss.he already cacat.but still cant detect him.alkayel.u have any idea where this guy now?is it he already married or also cheat?

刀锯地狱：

偷工减料，欺上瞒下，买卖不公之人，死后将打入刀锯地狱。

把来人衣服脱光，呈"大"字形捆绑于四根木桩之上，由裆部开始至头部，用锯锯毙。

Con man will go to 18 level of Hell after he die.
He will be strip naked, his body ties up on four wooden stakes.
Next, his body will be cut off with a saw, starts from his crotch to the head.

Man, that will take too long. I suggest we hire private investigator.
