My opinion is the "kid" cannot settle anything. If you really want to help the kid, pls do have a word with his parents.

How do you expect him to "compensate"? The only way he is able to compensate is to "cheat" - either others or his own parents. So in turn, it's not helping him. The only thing now to do is try to reach his parents.

This I agree. You are not actually "helping" him here. Call the parents, make a report and stuff. It can be "small" for now but when he got the taste/hang of it, it'll get worse. There's no helping him by then. More victims would suffer in the end.

well bro since u have a lawyer friend with u i suggest u draw up a binding agreement with the parents for him to do community work for at least 2 years for the compensation of ur losses (if u can take the monetary losses). i agree with a lot of forumers here letting him off scot free is to encourage him to cheat and lie again. hence its a vicious cycle. again he might be lucky and manage to con a poor fellow malaysian or non malaysian who might not have as much resource as u to deal with all this. so please a certain kind of punishment which will leave a memory for him not to do again will be most advise aka as what i have suggested if u will.

thats my 2 cents

i thoughnt he wanna commit suicide o.O

i hope he learned a lesson, n be a good person in the future...

I'm so relieved see see screemo, the victim, finally cleared his name! and at the same time feel ashamed of zackry cos I was born in Miri too. Great job there for being patient and proactive all the time screemo, you showed alot of other victims of trades that perserverance do pay off and at the same time not letting the cheaters escape.

+1 bro! I have to thank everyone here for their unconditional support. 
As for Zackry, he seems to be obeying well at the moment. And I'm sucha silly service provider till I got scammed. 

Don't forget to make another police report.

good job.. 

good one to know that his parents was aware of all his wrongdoings.

Woot! Good for you bro! That is very very good news! 

Man, reading all that really made me sick. Never thought people would scam others like this. This is why people are reluctant to offer help.
U offer service to help others, people take advantage of u. U don't offer help, people complaint. This type of Zackry fellow has not only brought trouble upon himself
but also tarnished the image of Malaysia. Sooner or later, people won't trust and deal with any Malaysian anymore. I used to live in europe before and i know how it feels like
because of this kinda reputation.

That Mr. Wade was also an ass. I know he was furious and desperate, but treating u like that WTF?! Law enforcer? LOL

Unfortunately i'm from Kuching and that Zackry is from Miri. Else, i hentam him for u cukup2. 
Really hate this kinda people. Cause trouble then easy way out = suicide.  Idiot

Btw, good job on getting ur money back. I don't know how u did it, but congrats! Too bad u have to close ur other bisnes.
Better future in other field i hope.
