I'm involved in this case as being one of the victims as well...i pm'ed him about the 85 1.8 (same sale thread as nikeshock posted) at the moment he posted up the thread and he told me it's still available and the price is exactly same as what is stated in the sale thread...i then agreed to deal with him and asked for his bank account number , name , IC number and phone number. I did search thoroughly about the details he gave to me like name , phone number , bank account number, IC number and i found nothing negative on his details. I found out he did quite a few of sales at LYN ,so i thought he would be a genuine seller...therefore i proceeded the deal with him and bank in RM660 to him on 28 Feb Monday night. He said that he will try to check his bank account around lunch time on the next day to confirm the money is received...and he promised to try to send it out on the same day but he didn't...

However, i later found out that there are 2 other buyers bank in to him as well for buying the same item...i immediately called Northape up again to ask for clarification.
He said that he got 3 units of 85 1.8 up for sale but he didn't state it in his sale thread and he kept on insisting that he sold stuff before at here...and he promised me again that he will send out the lens on 3 march which is today , so i was OK with that and hung up the phone.

But now his action is convincing me that he is a conman because he did not turn on his phone starting around 3pm until now when i tried to call him and i also just found out that the IC number provided by him is a fake one after i tried searching at www.jpn.gov.my/semakic .

Thing is... the IC given by him seems to be a fake one...and never state that he got 3 units of lenses up for sale in his thread...and Northape insisted that xxx82 bought a lens from him before but i called xxx82 to ask him about it and xxx82 told me that he has never bought anything from Northape...yet another thing is...Kelvin Hata (a safe trader from penang) said wanna COD with Northape for the lens but Northape rejected the deal even Kelvin offered a higher price (i just found out this yesterday night).

I'll make a police report tomorrow if i can't still get in contact with the buyer tonight

yea bro...kinda pissed off by this sort of ball-less conman

You're lucky dude, all of us are working on this matter now and trying to solve it by using whatever solution we have (dark and bright side) ! Beware NORTHAPE !
