guys, how bout reporting to the newspaper ? sure got atleast 1 paper interested in this story. maybe can get front page man. just collect all the evidences, bank in receipts, account number, hp number, name, ic, post, everything that u thing is useful and go to the newspaper company. if u do this, police will take this matter more seriously. ask the reporter to also write something like, " what is the police doing about this ? "

no need to do this , god will attack him.

LoL... Most of the pics that he posted all from Lelong wan... The pics are from sellers in Subang Jaya... Oh god... F*ck this conman... Steal pics then post at his site... -.-

haha...dah nama pun con man

i think is waste of time to hunt him down.... no one even knows any of his details ie name, add, anything.....
i know how hard it feels cos i have been cheated before also... hai.... 6k plus somemore.....

wow, this peson really give sarawakians like me a bad name. I also believe in COD that why I hv a lots of FREN who can do my COD.

Althought I'm newbie here but sory to hear the story.

I think the idea of giving the stories to the media is a good idea since most of the local paper here always don'thv enough hot material.

But that is not my decision. I thik viking, u hv the rite to make the call. I think I can ask some1 in SARAWAK TRIBUNE to post the story and the pict althought if it's a false 1.

Really want to bring back trust to sarawakians.

I wonder where's the mod almostthere? He/she willl say this;

see all comment in his blog site?

really men-siasui-kan sarawakian... and he even has the nerve to reply back here.. too bad we dont know the real him. if not, back sarawak find some friends go whack him kao kao until he cant recognise his own face.. sorry for you viking, witchblade and those who been cheated by him.. just be more careful next time.

I'm from Sarawak....Kuching actually.....why don't you all find out more details on where to locate this fellow.

There are many ways to catch a rat, as they say....

I was gonna buy a dSLR through poslaju, but now.....so scared. Wanna sell my digicam also pai seh now.

u can ask a mod 2 b ur witness
=P
nowadays i dun trust deals from other state anymore...
i oni take seremban / kl oni...n oni COD
except they willing 2 bank in 2 me

hmm, this shatters my confidence in online transactions, especially those that require you to transfer an amount of money first and you gotta wait for the delivery to arrive..
anybody knows how does the law protect the buyers from this kind of online business fraud?
and vikingw2k, have you reported this case to the police? if you have, what do they say? it's difficult right as everything is dealt online and through the phone, no black and white is written down and hard to trace a person online
perhaps it's rather dangerous to deal like this on the internet, i think there are other services like paypal where you can take your money back should there be any incomplete transaction

I definetely agree to use the media power, even we dun know who is him/her?

but when his relative saw/read XXX maybe they will call this real guy out, or when some Tai ko at KK read this and know which sia sui pai seh his face. ~~~

It's very easy, we gather ppl and post a fixed add everyday at each main newspaper, s@@ how public power going to did that out, after all, telekom can jejak kaki sikit,~~ then u all sure can guat him out liah.

I've only bought something online once, and it was only a cheapo T-shirt so I banked in the full amount first before the seller posted the item.

So it seems that there is actually a practice of sending the item to the buyer before he/she banks in the amount?

Why not have the buyer send you details (with proof in black and white) such as home address, work address, work details, IC number etc, all of which must be counter-signed or at least approved by another party, preferably an employer or gov'n officer.

It should help a little to promote more trust btw ppl.

thats why dont do pos laju , do cod save all the trouble Plus the seller also wont deliver via pos laju if got so many criterias to fulfill , even then , all those can be forged :>

aiyah.... buy things online sure got risk one la.. see u lucky or unlucky to hit the 'jackpot' or not. see the amount big or not only.. we all share the same fate.

1. only bank in to those with high reputation.
2. COD.

how bout if we bank in we get their bank details rite ?

after we bank in, he doesnt deliver we already got his detail from the bank in process..... or am i wrong ?

first of all.. vikings you should've asked the mod to get his IP address from the forum's server as soon as you realised that you've been scammed. PhPbb keeps a track record of IPs used by every account. With that IP and timestamp, bank record and other victim's testimony, it's possible to then lodge a police report to persecute him or at least track the conman down.
I'm not sure if you're able to do that now as there's a maximum time limit after an incident where you can lodge a report. Basically you need a court order to trace back the ip address from the ISP which i'm assuming is TMnet.

Mods, perhaps it'd be great if there's an anti-conman procedure set in place for new buyers and sellers and in the event if a con had taken place. Telling people not to buy from newbie is just limiting the market though COD method is the best way to prevent fraud.

I don't know about u guys but i think Malaysia should adopt a stricter approach to online fraud. Our law is so lax that it's considered as one of the fraud heaven on earth.. which is why most online transaction companies don't want to extend their services to Malaysia (like paypal).

Erm... Just my personal opinion...
Must beware when doing COD. Always find someone accompany u because i heard a case somenoe being robbed when doing COD.
Me also kena 1 case... Bought dirt cheap phone n got CON.
God damm those CONMAN

how u kena conned during COD?
