Pa, Ma, I got cheated for AUD12.5k, which was almost 80% of the educational funds you allocated for my last semester and I remembered specifically that I was told not to touch that fund.

What happened was, my friend Vincent, has been spinning a web of lies since he knew me. I knew him since April 12th. We communicate online through a forum called lowyat.

Apparently he was in Perth as well, so we decided to meet up and became friends after that.

For about 2 months, we communicated on a daily basis and went out whenever chance permitted. I trusted him fully. I really did.

Little did I know that he has been plotting a plan since 2 months ago to get a hold of my educational funds. We shared a lot of info together, he shared his as well, including family matters. His dad abandoned him since young, with the mom passing him over to his ant to take care of him. He even taught me how to get PR the easy way. I was really interested as we would talk about ways to get jobs after I graduate.

Fast forward to 3 weeks ago, he told me that he was forced to go back to Malaysia because his mom needed him in the company as one of the major shareholder was hit by stroke.

He was very emotional that day, because he was going to leave Perth soon, due to family issues.

I told him not to worry as we can still meet up in Malaysia.

Here comes the scam

1. He told me that he had 3 cars under his name, 2 owned by relatives, which I think are lies anyway. According to him, Australian Law doesn't permit a person to owe more than 2 vehicles. Having said so, he needed someone to take care of the car for him as he would come back to Perth after 2 months.

2. He said that he would transfer the amount of money for the car to me, and I will buy it from him, technically speaking. Since I wasn't in a predicament, I didn't care much and agreed. He passed a vehicle transferring form to me and I filled in my details.

3. Last Wednesday, he went to the taxation office and enquired about transferring the car under my name without proof of cash transaction. They said it was not possible and they were going to charge him for deceiving Australian authorities, putting his PR status and boarding visa in jeopardy. Problem was, the officer asked him to provide them with proof by 5pm the next day.

3. The next day, which was on Thursday, he came and picked me up from Uni and told me that his mom had already sent the money to him and he will transfer it to me asap once it reached. It would take 1 or 2 days to reach but definitely before the deadline.

4. Seeing the situation as it is, I thought hard, I thought really hard, the money isn't mine and I had no right to manage it. It was for my education, form my future but somehow I was f***ing retarded enough to withdraw 12.5k from the bank and drop him by the bank to be cash deposited into his account.

Up until now, no black and white has been signed, it was all verbal. The money was withdrew by cash so it's not possible to trace it online

5. On Thursday night, he came over to my place, bought me dinner and reassured me that the money would reach me by Friday. I felt slightly relieved.

I have already mentioned that I was throwing up during my exams, this is the reason. Pa and ma, my guts were too late, they came too late, I felt it on that night. He didn't dare to look me in the eyes.

6. On Friday night, I was really exhausted and slept for 16 hours straight. I contacted him on Saturday and he was planning to meet up with me since 12pm.

I waited since 12pm to 3pm, no response. I called, he said he was stuck in the jam. I waited till 6, he said he was fixing his car. I waited till 9, he told me car brake was spoilt and he would hand me the car as soon as he gets it done.

I WAITED TILL 12AM, I CALLED, HIS PHONE WAS ALREADY OFF.

That moment really stroke me hard, real hard. I felt dizzy and was in a state of denial. I rushed back to my study table and checked his facebook account. HE HAD DEACTIVATED IT.

I stared into blank space, ask whoever was up there, why did this happen to me? Is humanity really that disgusting? I was merely helping him to retain his PR status, what I got back was betrayal and lies that was plotted since 2 months ago.

I grab my friend's bike, cycled with all might till my legs were numb uphill to his previous house where he was living with another Malaysian.

I reached the house, which was located 2 blocks away from mine. I knocked the door, his Malaysian house mate answered it. I asked where was Vincent? Looking at his room with all his stuffs gone, I knew that I really had screwed up big time.

I called the cops, asking them to stop him from leaving Australia even though it wasn't possible. I needed a sign of hope. They asked me to call civil legal aid.

I was distressed and couldn't speak properly. His house mate, named Adrian, found documents about him selling the car to another friend of his which I know. (he purposely left it there and it was all his handwriting)

We went to his so-called uncle's house, nobody was there. We went to the buyer's house, saw his car there. I was in a state of anxiety.

Could he be inside? I've already prepared a hammer in the car. If I see him, I will beat the shit outta him. After calling the cops again, which weren't much of a help, I mustered all my courage and knocked on their door.

Bear in mind it was 2am and they were all asleep.

I asked the buyer, Scott Hill, where the hell was Vincent? He told me he flew back to Malaysia on that night. Hearing all of this made me even more anxious. I could've snapped that time and started trashing all their stupid cars!

The buyer's girlfriend proceeded to call me a scammer as I was going to take their away. She told me that I had no proof of ownage of the car and should get the f*** out of there.

I have never felt so humiliated in my life. At that point, I think I got a taste of real life, the bitterness of it makes your throat dry.

I said sorry to them as they weren't involved in this case and wandered off to Adrian waiting for me in his car.

Adrian consoled me, I was really on the brink of my breaking point. All of this happened under my grasp. I was the one saying okay with everything, I was the one placing 100% trust on Vincent.

At that point, exam didn't seem to matter any more. Adrian dropped me at Uni and I continued studying. After updating Justin about the situation, we searched his name online and found out that he was a big time scammer on lowyat forum.

He has already told me different version of stories why he came to Perth but I solely suspected that he has offended too many people in Malaysia.

After thinking that through, I was very determined to not letting him get away from this. As long I live on this planet, I will hunt him down.

Prior to me, there were many other victims as well

A hongkie girl, who is an ex-housemate, got scammed off 20k AUD. He also stole the credit cards, cash, laptop and panties from the other ex-housemates.

A Malaysian, who was street wise enough not to lend him money, had his RM14k Nikon camera and lenses stolen from his house, which Vincent Chin We Shing claimed as burglary.4




I have a lot of details of him. He had previously been a big time scamer on Lowyat before. Just google his name and you'll know.

Vincent, I know you're reading this, didn't think it would turn out like this eh? This is just the beginning, there's more to come. I will personally put you in jail you hear me?

This was his mom's message to him

I will translate it for viewing ease.

Monster Mom:

You are worse than animal, always in debt, always tell lies, nobody can save you any more. I've always been the one helping you to clear you debts. Your life has been ruined by your own actions. Respect your decision, we shall stop contacting each other, I will return people the money you owe, I'll treat this as the debt I owe from past life.

Vincent:

Mom, sorry, happy mooncake festival, I'm fine, I have wronged too much and don't have the guts to face you. Hopefully there will be a day when you can get rid this kind of mentality. I love you.

5 days ago, my sources told me that Vincent and his mom (Wendy) were going to attend a wedding in Penang Straits Quay Convention Centre. I had two undercover to go there on my behalf.

Let's call them A and B. Both of them went to the police station and notified that the suspect was going to attend this wedding. Two officers were dispatched and waited along the alley.

A and B were driving around and suddenly they spotted Vincent in a 7-11, immediately notifying the police officers to stand by. A went into the 7-11 and tapped he guy on the shoulder, " Vincent!"

He said he wasn't Vincent so B called Vincent's number to be doubly sure. Vincent picked up but the chap in 7-11 didn't so they let him go.

A and B went into the wedding to look for the mother and son. B went around and snapped a few pictures, finally going through the guest's list and found Wendy's name. He went to the allocated seat but Wendy wasn't there.

A came back and told B that he overheard the groom saying that Vincent's mother was to devastated to come because of all the news.

So having all the info from the undercover, my dad text Vincent about the whole thing, which table number and such, saying if he doesn't surrender in 3 days, we will proceed with our final and biggest publication showing all his photos, his mom's, his details, all 10 pages long, in a magazine, famous among aunties. He was pretty shocked.

The following day, the undercover called him and said is this Vincent? He stammered and offed his phone. Funny thing is he went to text my dad and said that he was not Vincent.

He then proceeded to call my dad and described himself an a person staying in Cheras named David Lee. (the number is absolutely correct, no point arguing, how I got it, I cannot disclose)





One look and I know it's Vincent.

My dad screwed him on the phone saying"you are vincent chin, do not deny it, u want to report, u report, I give you the inspector' number, she's in sri petaling, go and meet her if u have the guts.'

To Vincent/Xuma,

I had fun playing this game with you, thank you for making me a better person. You're always on the lookout everywhere you go, life isn't that easy any more right? Planning to go overseas again so that matters would lay low? No worries, I know where your --oops.
