Updates on 14th May 2012:
- Sofyan86 PMed me that he is not responsible for the case and has no idea on the ipad trade. He claimed that he will lodge a police report as well.
**I replied asking for more information to assist in this case.
- Dakwatjahat was seen last login at 3:42AM.
- Added PM screenshot
- 11:21AM: Sofyan86 confirmed that the Maybank account is his, but have not confirmed if he received my RM800 as in the M2U details above.
- 12:13PM: A fellow LYN member PMed me and updated me about another attempt of dakwatjahat to scam him by asking a payment of RM900 for the ipad2 to the Maybank account: 151306687272 wan mohd muslim. Same mobile number(0146009501) is used for communication between them.

- 2:40PM: Sofyan86 called me(from number +601115444796) to talk about the case.
Details:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

He mentioned that someone dealt with him on blackberry for RM1200(via postage). And claimed to hv paid RM800 1st(on Thursday). Upon postage on saturday, the buyer say tat his friend will meet Sofyan86 in KL Sentral for COD instead. So Sofyan86 claimed that he met this friend of the blackberry buyer to COD in KL Sentral last Saturday.
Besides these, Sofyan86 says his father is a police and they lodge a police report this morning and his father also mentioned to him that they can sue me(i dont know in which aspect??).
Then sofyan86 say that now that he know the story better, he might need to change the police report they made and decide not to sue me probably.

Sofyan86 said that he has sales on-going in Mudah.my and Facebook, but the facebook account that i listed above does not belong to him.

In my honest opinion, i think he's trying to manipulate the situation now. Trying to show that he is not responsible in this and tries to threaten me by saying they might sue me for this.

I hereby again, beg you - Sofyan86 to step out and list all the facts and figures you have with you.
If you are clean, why not step out and let's try to get this conman

We want to settle this as soon as possible and make alert to others to beware of this/these conman.

I've added PM screenshot of our conversation.

He made me trust him as he wanted to trade with my Hibikii earphones.
Thread: Hibikii

Thinking this is a safe trade since he'll provide his address too.

Check Maybank account, mobile number and name but found no disputes/ complaints online.

TRUST is one thing that hurt us back instead sometimes.
I'm being foolish to trust a new joiner.

Kind souls out there, please advise on how should i lodge the police report and is't possible to get back the money?
Will the police report help in getting more info of this individual?
Like tracing his real address from mobile number or Maybank account.

Sofyan86 has yet to reply me on his info, and he claims that he will make a police report too.
Not sure of his motives, but if he makes a report, that will be great!

Sofyan86, please come help clarify.
Your reputation in LYN is so far very good.
I hope you can help me and let's together try help others from being conned.

Thanks!

This post has been edited by LAU Fantasy: May 15 2012, 12:10 AM

Like Apis mentioned, there are othr nicks tied to both dakwatjahat and sofyan86.
Will let Apis review more if there is yet to be resolution.

Apis_LuaLua, plz help

Bro, go make a police report 1st.
Moderators are very helpful, dun worry.

We do hope all the victims stand out and report as well.

dakwatjahat is indeed same person as Sofyan86

And dont be surprise because, the person who reply above, babybear_quizzical is also the same person. He trying to fool us by make us believe that this is ABC Scam by providing other scammer details. But sorry brother, u are the one who is actually a FOOL.

I already give u time until 12am today to refund but you choose not to refund.

Another dupe of him is raffiq86 which is quite active in mobile phones and accessories section.

Now the best part, proofs to show that all of them are the same person.

Check This sales thread open by sofyan86, Nikon Coolpix L12 (u r welcome to edit the phone number ) and compare with printscreen below from babybear_quizzical



Notice the phone number?

We can clearly see that babybear_quizzical have made up the story.

Plus, when TS try to call the number provide in this ad, carskrazy





The person answer and introduce himself as raffiq (which is actually another dupe of his, raffiq86), but the truth is, it was the same person, the email provide from the ad above, sofyandarmadi@yahoo.com which bring us to his fb profile sofyandarmadi86. Can u tell me, how many ppl with similar name? Sofyan Darmadi? and its Sofyandarmadi86. born 86 as well. So coincidence?

Will update his details in the blacklist. Good luck sofyan86 aka babybear_quizzical aka raffiq86 aka dakwatjahat.

This post has been edited by Apis_LuaLua: May 15 2012, 02:29 PM

Details Updated in the blacklist



Vlim, Take all the info and bring to the police when u meeting the IO later. And, plz bring your laptop and show all this thread and xplain so they would understand. If u lucky, u will get a good and responsible IO who will try his hard to solve the case.

good luck

Thanks for the superb help bro Apis.
I have just came back from meeting the IO.
Will update all these details to him too.

Sofyan Darmadi, i hope you are seeing/ seen this thread clearly.
The police will track you down.

LAU Fantasy, please proceed with your police report including all the valuable info provided by bro Apis.

All other online users, please be cautious.

Thanks again bro Apis_LuaLua.

OK.. noted... I will make a police report later... thnx again
thank you so much, Apis_LuaLua... we owe u

This post has been edited by LAU Fantasy: May 15 2012, 03:00 PM

Seems to me that since he is using the same hp number for the fb biz then its possible he is still using the number untul now. My suggestion is to monitor his fb page and use a friends hp to call and buy his tems for cod. Then you may have a chance to catch the guy red handed and do whatever is prudent before handing to the cops.

Try not to deal with Bank in money method...it's too risky if you don't know who u r dealing with...better COD next time bro...

He'll be more cautious now too...
I'll leave it to the police.

In the meanwhile, since he has no intention to refund or solve this issue at all, i'll bring it to TTPM (Consumer Tribunal).
Let's see....

He have not called/replied me in any means since the last "sincere" phone call from mobile number 01115444796.

Thanks for the tip and reminder.

Seems like there is another victim

DrAlex88,
Sorry for your loses too....
Maybe you could update how he conned you in detailed.
Thanks for dropping by.

Yea.. vlim's right...
I lodge the police report a day after vlim...
My IO is communicating with vlim's IO now... let the IO and POLICE do their job^^

i see he stay at police building ?

My story too long & complicated... I filed police report but no Inspector contact me at all... If police work faster, you guys won't get conned already... Haha! That's why I think we should just buy his head... Rely on police where can get justice?

Police told me other staffs also stay at their area... Assassin won't so stupid go inside lar... Sure wait far abit find chance de mah... Haha!

so what u gonna do after buying his head? u even got his ic. thats good detail we got in hand. police report is a must. if u cannot find cooperation from the io who took ur case, u can keep pushing him or report it again to other officer, not by ask other victim not to do so. now the victims is 3 at least. do u think they will stay quiet wih 3 reports already lodge. keep chasing him n dont let him enjoy ur monEy Peacefully.

Yes, true.

DrAlex88, you should share ur story too.
And let us know the source of the IC card you posted and any other valuable info.
His head is not worth even spending a cent.

Looks like the bugger removed all his mobile devices sales post from his Facebook account(as expected):
https://www.facebook.com/sofyandarmadi86

Here are the previously captured screen shots:



Sofyan, you can run but you cant hide!

very good catch there bro. bring it to the police as well.

Thanks bro.
All these are with the IO along with my report.
I hope others that have lodged a report also update respective IOs with these info.

Dont forget, file a report at TTPM too.
They have an online e-Tribunal system.
TTPM e-Tribunal online system

Hmm... Since you guys want to know the story so much then I just share it lor... At first I take the Raffiq86 offer of RM800... Then this Sofyan86 offer me RM950, I say I deal with Raffiq86 already... Then suddenly this Raffiq86 immediately cancel the deal... Very suspicious one lor...

Then I agree deal with him by confirming his phone number is the same as person with the account by same time to make sure he is the person. Then I ask for his IC as part of safe trade procedure... Then he took that photo email me lor... Is inside my Gmail... But my first transaction into his bank account was stuck because of machine problem... Then in between the days, we discuss this problem... He say he called bank... So I think bank got records also... Then after 4 days, I agree to bank in another time to him provided he agree to return the cash to me once the report processed...

After 2nd bank in, he straight uncontactable... Then I go lodge police report lor...

My IC is send from him... LoL... And sms inside my phone confirm he is the owner of account Sofyan86, because I check it simultaneously...

Total loss = Rm1950...

I will sure buy his head one some day... Money won't become problem for me in future... But he really make my life miserable... Justice is only for those strong, brave, and dare... Forget about police... My IO just tell me he will contact me later... LoL... 1 Month already... If he act early you guys won't be cheated...

Sorry... But I am quite busy recently... Very tired also... But If you guys also want to buy his head, I sponsor Rm2000...

really feel sad for u guys.

im wondering, is it helpful if DrAlex88 give his case number and IO name to vlim and Lau Fantasy so that they can update their respective IO?

Thanks for the update.

We have no control/influence in you buying his head tho...
LOL.

Will update the IO in-charge of my report.

Filed a proper report in TTPM as well.
If money cant get back, at least he's a popular conman now.
Do whatever you can to spread his con-jobs.

I think you can tell ur IO, because of him not handling your case well leading to another 3 more victims.

Can lodge complain against the IO also right?

Sorry, Im just speaking out of what I think is possible.

So far I haven encounter such scams and conjobs yet.

Hope you guys can catch this trash. Making online transaction harder and harder.

Why not pushing the case for update through the PDRM facebook? If they can catch a blogger, they should easily catch that bugger!.
http://www.facebook.com/PolisDirajaMalaysia
Just list down all the police report no made to that bugger!!

Just an update.

TTPM's way of handling the case is instructing me(the victim) to send a set of documents to the conman.
However, since the address is incomplete (without house number) in the IC provided, documents were sent back to me.

Court hearing is soon. Let's see what TTPM says about this.
The police has no updates at all on this case.
With the Maybank Account details and prove of transaction, it is in my opinion very easy for the authorities to work their way to the conman.

Well..... efficiency is far from reach.

Haha... Finally, inspector call me to go meet him today... He say he will issue warrant to catch him come Kelantan since suspect is known & proof is strong already... He say most likely can't recover the money even if the conman was convicted... He will try to scare the conman to refund me so that the case can resolve, he said... But who cares? I rather don't want the rm1900 but to send him to jail for at least 1 year (max 10 years) & hit ass at least 1 time +- fine... Then forever he will have problem in finding job (even with his diploma) and become a shame to his family and friends... Then finally he will depress and con more, then meet his fate and go to hell...

Wow.....tat's like after so many months.
Good luck then.

I'm from johor bahru.
maybe i can pay him a visit

Thanks, but i dont think he's from johor.

Inspector say he is in PJ...

revenge is a dish served cold and moldy.

ts, have u try to contact his fb friend?

this person might be his colleague

https://www.facebook.com/manbai.bai

Thanks for the tip.

Justice is only for the rich, strong & powerful... Is not only about revenge, is about justice...

sudah kena tangkap ka?

No updates from PDRM for few months!

I look through most dispute thread and found that majority of the time, the buyer deserve to be conned ( i am not saying you). Most of the product they buy csn be bought of the shelf, yet just to saves a couple of bucks, they buy it oline, and worst still with a total stranger. I can understand if you buy it from reputable website or forum ( storekini etc) . But a total stranger? Come on. Thats why i think the police is right by delaying or ignoring all these complains and report. Else these so called victims cant learn their lesson.

Thanks for the time spent dropping by.

Still no update? Call PDRM la? Or just send lawyer straight.
If PAS wins later can cut off his hands. If got undeniable proof la.
Ill have a look out for this guy for you too.

If not him, cut my hand then... LoL... That's the level of confidence I know it is him... We are odinary people & nobody, everything will take a long time as usual... If you are son of inspector, or any high ranking people... Tomorrow sue him on court already...

THIS GUY BACK ACTIVE. CHECK DETAILS IN LINK 2.
