Hi.

A new forumer from Singapore wish to buy a book from me.

Total cost RM92.
Book cost RM50 and pos laju cost RM40.


1 SGD = RM2.40
RM92 = SGD38.33


The buyer said he can bank in money through CIMB (he claimed there's CIMB branch in Singapore).
Maybe I'm just being paranoid but could this be another way of conning people?
Maybe after bank in the money, then something happens; claiming many issues etc.


Need advise

1 SGD = RM2.40
should be RM92 = SGD38.33

as a matter of fact, CIMB is indeed present in singapore. Like Maybank and OCBC, the banks now offer a convenient way for tourist to transfer money from Malaysia to singapore subject to a limit. I remember there is a charge of SGD2.00.

If you are afraid, then use paypal.

Maybe one day will use paypal...for international transaction.

But heard there are cases of con via paypal as well.

He confirmed RM92 = SGD38.33.

His partial address;

18 Marina Blvd.
Singapore 018980.

Hope this would be my maiden international transaction

how does it turn out?
successful?

I already gave my CIMB name and account number.

Still waiting for the buyer's reply.

Just wait till he bank in and check your bank , make sure got receive.

and don't click any link he sent to u.. the link might be a hacking system.. so you just login to cimb to check is most safe ^^

Thank you for the advice


I have CIMB and Maybank accounts.

But cannot use online banking anymore; not much transaction...so bank terminated the online account.

Normally I just withdraw money at the counter.

ATM card cost RM12; MAHAL

Still...might apply the ATM card since easier to check transaction online instead of went to the bank each time

You only need to register for Internet Banking using your existing Savings/Current account.

Wah!

I just need to went to the bank and ask to apply for internet banking?
How much are the fees?
For Maybank & CIMB.

Its Free to apply.

erm.. sorry.. u still need ATM card becos need to get the Pin from ATM.. ~.~

but u can try ask at the bank.. maybe can apply without ATM card..

I knew it

By the way, from the buyers name...I think he's Vietnamese.
Living in Singapore.

Uhm, be careful no matter what... 1stly, Marina blvd. ? i think it's a company... Besides there's no residence around marina area.. so it could be office..
#018980 poscode? i am not convince that this poscode in marina is exist... or maybe I'm just wrong.. I'm not a singaporean but i do travel to singapore from time to time..

^

I Googled 'Singapore 018980'.

Seems that the location does exist.

Still, I'll follow our friend Strawberry<3 advise; not to click any links given via PM.

If he/she pay the money first then it should be alright I think =)

so he got pay already? quite long already @.@

dont know why TS is not show up here...

Nope.

Still MIA.

He last logon was 14th April.

After I PM and emailed my account details...MIA.

alots of buyers which recently comfirm buying which payment detail,after tht went MIA...this is common
