ABC scam. For now, you can only link this dispute thread to clear off your name. I feel bad for you bro.

On the other side :

One good reason I never use Paypal, or also involved in eBay. They are just terrible in helping innocent buyer/seller. Should have literally stay away from them whenever possible.

Worst company ever. Each time things went into dispute, they either giving out typical / standard reasoning - security reason change email / password / bla bla bla. Call also bla bla bla. And the thing they like to do the most, freeze your account, and withhold your fund for 180 days which I consider Paypal itself is a scamming company that just trying to hold your fund for 180 days for their own interest free loan and investment.

Yes, I'll need someone, or rather I hope someone from those forums bump into this thread and help me out. I can only keep my fingers crossed and pray. Virgill Barnett blatantly accused me and posting my details just based on 1 email address. Is it that easy to cause trouble nowadays. Get hold of someone's paypal, have the money sent there.. and there, the recipient is in all sorts of trouble. I don't want trouble man, I just want justice. And I'm currently consulting a few friends of mine who is Law Graduates. I'm wondering if i can sue someone for defamation online?

You could if you are in US, you would have earn tons of money from that defamation he done alone. Too bad you are in Malaysia, and trust me, it is not worth it to sue here and there. If that douchebag that promised to help you doesn't want to do so, there is nothing much you can do.

I have linked this dispute link to the forum there, the only thing you can do now is find back your old customer to give you a testimonial, at least there is proof that you are not the one that scamming, but in fact, involved in it involuntarily.

Just put on halt on all your sales that involved import/export as this will have an impact on your business at the moment.

From what I see, the BladeForum forumer did not even bother to look at what you have build up all this year, they just wanted to find a scapegoat and push all the blame on you.

I can't. Seems like they blocked off my email, and I'm guessing my IP address as well. Well they have their ways. Thanks bro! Appreciate your help! Coffee's on me smile.gif

Screemo, I think you will never be able to reclaim your reputation unless you go hunt down that thread starter and give him a knock in the head with a car.

Go look him up via facebook. He's a cop, and I believe American cops has got their egos. Well, at least we put up a fight. I pm-ed our mods here and let's see if they can help me in any way. Thanks bro!

He is going to assume anyone that was helping you is actually your account I bet. Even their mod are doing terrible job, simply banning without giving a chance for explanation. All the best bro. Good luck and I will keep track of what is happening here.

He had an issue in the past with the forumer there, but that time, nobody was siding with him.

Hmm.. good idea. maybe I should include him in the first post so traders can be cautious. He is a law enforcer aka Police in the USA, and he speaks of his integrity. LOL. So much for breaking promises smile.gif

All brawn no brain, applicable to him. No point sabotage him also la.. Karma's a b****.

At least all the efforts paid off this time, take a well care of your identity from now on smile.gif

I apologize just in case my statement are considered insult at their forum lol.

That guy is hopeless, seriously I have no idea how he managed to get a wife and a cute daughter. Most probably got scammed by him too.

At last, this went well. Good job Mr. Wade for fixing up this complicated matters. That changed my impression toward you now.

Take care Screemo, do not let this guy off. Even the spamming at the girlfriend twitter and the parent restaurant FB did not help?

I noticed that he/relative have closed down the FB page.

Hello, I'm a seller in lowyat.net too and in light of this scam method, I want to know how we as seller can protect ourselves from scammers like this posing as buyers. We normally provide buyers with bank details ie Maybank2u hoping he would bank in the money but do we really know where the money is coming from? Whether it's cash deposit or online transfer, we do not know for certain if it was the buyer itself who is paying us or his victims. Can anyone share a few tips to prevent such scam from happening?
*
Beware if they are overly generous with extra fund banked in / or people that can never find a camera to take a screenshot of proof. If he refused to do so, perhaps it would be the best to prepare to hold the funds until he find something/someone to provide him a camera.

i) If he bank in through CDM - Produce a picture together with Name/Address/HP/Item purchased/Lowyat ID
ii) If he online transfer - Put the screenshot of the bank receipt with your Lowyat thread visible with his username logged in
iii) Google all the details he gave to you

If you are too suspicious with it, then you can propose refunds, then you can compare the details he gave you tally with the bank account or not. If he gave you some bank account that is totally different for example his address detail shows Abu, and asking you refund to Mutusamy, then that is extremely risky refund unless he provide you proof they are related.

Some are still acceptable, maybe teenager relying on his bro/sis/mother/father account which usually can be identified from family surname, then you can proceed with the refunds.

While they are not foolproof, it will deter many from trying to cheat you. That way, you can protect yourself too.

P/S: Please note that holding a fund is illegal, so if you decide to hold it, make sure you solve it in a really really quick time possible usually on same day or max one day for me. If you required more time than that, I would advise you to open a thread in dispute so you can ask for further advise from members here.

Either way, if the buyer was a real buyer, he would do everything to get back his money as fast as possible. If he give you thousands of illogical reason, then it would be the best to hold.
