his first name is iSLY . doubt u can easily find a sly person like that.

not to act harsh but sometime people do act or become stupid/idioit when they seing cheap and rare sa
tuff.
i dont blame the conman 100%.it s ur fault too for being off guard.
too many cases nowadays and yet u guys still 'dare' enough to bank in few thousands ringgits to people like him/her.
even nowadays u cant trust senior members @ a seller with safe trade tag.practice cod and if deposit is needed give a small sum only.
say no to postage unless you know the seller.

how come the conman so daring? his details has already spread through the web and he really believe he can get away with this?

what a fool, either he'll be beaten to death or get f**ked up in jail badly.

possible he find someone similar nick then con at lowyat also can. When anything he refer to that account

nah either u guys go find him and beat him or he just wandering around looking for new victims.

Waiting season 3 to continue next year with iphone 5s.

Why dont use his acc no to get his address from bank? Plis dont let this conman escape guys. Do police report and get his address! Go to Jab Pendaftaran ok..

i somehow felt... some forumers already knew it but kept quiet to c if really got ppl got scammed at last ...

Hi, if he is from Penang I might be able to help.

Got a guy con me before and I somehow am able to make him pay back my 2k+.

All I needed are

1. His permanent residential address (his family must be living there).
2. His face and IC.
3. His current hp number (needed to talk to him at least once).

No promise though. If I have some spare time I am willing to help once all the above items are concluded.

will pm u details.i have all u state above

Is is too late for me to made my deposit?

Ok joke aside, is it possible for Lowyat.NET to make one specific "box" where forumer have to fill their banking details depending on their respective bank - that will eventually have to go through a filter sourced from info that Apis gathered?

How does this stop the scammer from closing his "blacklisted" account and then re-opening a new one?

lucky me... already pm seller & thinking to put deposit.....phewwwww

Some forumer knew something was not right but what to do? I even commented that people should be very careful about pre-ordering iPhone 5 before this but if no one bother to take precaution and go ahead throw their money away to some unknown seller that barely sells anything.

Can't suspect every seller later get warned by mods for accusing genuine seller as conman. At the very least seller should avoid paying deposit, ALWAYS COD (yet foolish buyers still bank in first).

wow! it's going to be a long conversation thread here.
instead of talking like a pro, why don't all of u victims go to make a police report first?

for someone (victim) who lives in penang, make a police report, try to go to the add stated in the thread.
if there's confirm that he lives in that add, bring the police along with u, n what's next, u decide.

then, please inform to all of victims here. so that they can take their own action towards this *******.

can ar? if cannot, then please let ur money burns laaaa......

Yeah, ONCE they received it. But they go ahead and pay huge amount anyway.



It makes victims feel confidence to trust conman so much that they neglect to think the possibility of getting scammed.

But last minute conman will make 101 excuse on why seller should make deposit (or full payment).

They should have just stick to not giving deposit. Even if they did, losing RM200 is better than RM10k.

plenty to go around bros - another one : https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2521552

let's do this case study guys ....




He has some good reference at signature?


Possible Giveaway :
1. iPhone5 16GB at RM2,500.00 firm.
2. Want Deposit first as reservation.
3. Item coming on 7th Oct - COD 8th onwards.
4. Balance can pay when collect.

So is this genuine or not ? can anyone tell or can someone take the risk ? Like previous poster said - we cant go on blackmarking every single sale but we can practise safe procedures. its up to the buyer to be smart - once burn twice shy - thrice then can go die.

wah tuan - means the rm2.5k is real ka ... saya pon mau ohh like dat !

But there will ppl do that
People are very easily fooled by cheaper than normal goods, this is where they loose their logical judgement and greed take over.
