Shouldn't there be a shared database in malaysia, for common usage by those online trade sites such as LYN, Mudah, <no spam links>, lelong, etc... to let their customers cross reference who are scammers? Banks seem to have a good common database cos when you are blacklisted in one bank, then all banks can find out from the same sharing database. Online trade sites should consider working together with the police to come up with something legit, that the police can monitor and follow up as and when they can.

I mean before someone advertise something online, there is a small reminder by the side telling the seller, that police will have a record of such posting if it is fraudulent. Perhaps there will be less first time offenders and thus slower growing population of con artist?

Perhaps you are right, cos the mobile phone industry tried to do something similar: Nuemera Malaysia

But that was in 2007, until today I believe the project was not very successful? Anyway, google away....

based on this http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1767988/+60&#entry43463412
can we get i-citymall into the list, but perhaps more details needed with the help of the victims

Look at this ad title, price and the phone number

I do some selling now and then. But I don't feel comfortable too providing IC and other details. What if buyer is the conman?

After 6 months I reported my case to jabatan siasatan komersil at PJ old town, they only sent me a letter stating that the case is still under investigation. And I have never heard from them anymore.

This is a HORROR film. So many cons. They never fail to increase each week.

If any govt officials need to take something into process (inspection, approval, etc...) they will produce a letter as receipt. You cannot simply take someone's item and give excuses. What if you took 10 pieces and I claim I have 12 later? So there ALWAYS a receipt where the owner/importer would have to sign as acknowledgement.

In future, when you see any such BS, ask them to produce this letter immediately. If they cannot, then you have to tangkap them immediately. Don't be played like a fool.

Also, from the facebook link, there's lots of friends and family. Go trouble them. Spread the news. Anyway, keep all his replies because from the replies you know how sincere one is, or is not. All in his answers are so ridiculous. Follow your heart, if it is not right... it probably IS NOT RIGHT.

I think this is the person who came out on newspaper right?

Yesterday's newspaper:
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=...2944&sec=nation

What choice? Even credit card or other types of marketing activities, such as WWF, etc... also takes copies of our documents. Who is to say they make only one copy or did they make double and show you one that they have crossed out? What I cannot understand is, TM and others are promoting the use of internet under the guideline of govt. Yet, there is no proportion increase in cyber cops. LYN is a good example, so many report cases here, many of them also made police reports. How many cases were actually solved? PDRM's efficiency is always in question. And it also makes ppl feel like govt is like a school boy, think of TM's business but never thought of cyber crimes.

Can LYN management form a small group to have meetings with PDRM on facebook, about all these cases? Work out a possible solution. TM keeps on promoting internet, pc gets cheaper, users on the rise, cases on the rise too.

There goes the number....no matter RM1 or RM10,000 cheat, a cheat is a cheat. PDRM needs to make some examples out of those conman in the list. Good publicity and conman may reduce. Win win situation. Some cases are so straight forward. Even has address, etc... the last one posted even has a face, while others have facebook accounts linked. PDRM just need to formalize it by doing some investigation work.

All the online sellers should also do something too, not the one time two time sellers la. But I see many have shops at lelong, mudah, etc... big guys should do something to improve the malaysia online buying experience. Apis has put out the best reference there is, why not get PDRM's attention? I see that a single person goes to make a report, nothing is being done. I don't know when Apis started this record, but if we all agree a cheat is a cheat, no matter what is the amount, then most probable the first person posted in Apis's reference is still out large. No punishment yet!!

My suggestion to the WKK case is prepare a professional letter, with clear details and very good bahasa and/or english letter, send to Sabah polis station. Make sure all supporting documents in it. Professional letter means straight to the point, easy to understand and easy to find facts, NOT long story letter.

Added on November 8, 2011, 4:56 pmHey, maybe all of us should put the faces or names of people who con us as tags when we post on LYN. Or there should be a hall of shame, with all those conman that we managed to get their faces. And label how much they have con others at the bottom, in terms of value, starting from which year until now. Something just like most wanted FBI list.

He can go wherever he wish, cos nobody doing anything. Nobody does not refer to you and me, cos we are not enforcement officers. We don't have the authority. "Nobody" refers to the local authorities. Even if you make a police report, scammers know, maybe 1 out or 1,000,000 is caught and prosecuted. Enforcement officers more or less looks at the value. If you have RM100, you got scammed RM100, you are small fry. Good luck with your life. But if you have RM10,000,000 and you got scammed RM1,000,000, you will get their attention. This is reality in life.

You have all 100% of your savings conned = you best pray to God for help, your police report is just a statistic
You have 10% of your wealth conned = the police will go and catch the conman, this is newspaper story

What is wrong with us? We always focus on the wrong things. And we wait for the conman to practice his art until one day he/she starts conning others from RM100, to RM1,000,000, then only our "nobody" goes after them.

Happy New Year Apis. We all love you.

I text this guy http://www.mudah.my/Samsung+Galaxy+Nexus-13233384.htm and this price is only RM1,650 and seems want to make a sell in a hurry. He posted in Selangor but his location according to him is Sabah. I have no conclusion.
