He is active in LYN in trading camera dslr, lens and laptop computer.
He is driving a toyota vios with a stolen plate no and road tax.
Pls inform us if u found him or call for the police !!!

There is a real story (2012-2013),

Pls help us share this out. Lets help to aware others.
Attention,
This guy is a swindler who cheat people money. His name is Dylan Yip Man Kit. (according to him, not sure whether is real name or not) He is about 30 yrs old.
In last year August, i was searching for people to rent out the empty room.
So I put an advertisement in ibilik.com
This guy approaced me. He said he work as a journalist and editor in Lonely Planet magazine. His company is based in US. His office is in Penang which shifted to Selangor.
He acted proffesionally as he is very fluent in English and know a lot in DSLR camera.
He looked very friendly and helpful. He got a Macbook which he use for work. And he got a few expensive DSLR camera.
I didn't doubt his profession as he acted very perfect. He is also very good in trading used item in Low Yat forum (normally the items he used to trade is DSLR camera, lens, laptop) His user ID in Low Yat is "jungle ape"
Then I introduce him to my housemate and one of my other friend. We become very close and hang around together.
After sometime he told us that he need to go to US for meeting. He mention that he can get a lot of cheap gadget like smartphone and ipad (as his company subsidize him)
We believed him and we gave him the money to buy the gadget. He promised to go to US in Dec 2012 but postponed due to sand strom. We believed him because of the true disaster happen that time.
Then he said will go to US on 28th Mac 2013. So we keep believed him and wait as he told us that he already bought the flight tickets. Before he go to US he did cheated my friend that he can buy a high spec DSLR which ordered from Japan with cheaper price.
Last Thursday 21st March 2013 my friend gave the money (3000+) and he promised to get the camera on 22nd March 2013. Unfortunately on that day we found that he already left the house with all his belonging and steal my another housemate money amounting RM1000 cash money. At first we thought that he involved in an accident so we went to search around as he told my friend that his phone is low battery on that day. Finally we realized it was lie and he already escaped in the afternoon. We only realized that he never give us the true details Even IC numbers, car plate number all is fake. Even the hp no also not registered under his name. The car he drive is TOYOTA VIOS gold colour, plate WTU 9817 (which the police told us is belong to another person) Then we realized he had stolen my housemate car road tax. I think he going to use it to con another people.
The total cash money he had cheated us is about RM 15000.
I hope this sharing can be share throughout the low yat forum, whole Malaysia and even whole world so that can aware everyone. We already make police report and we hope that this can help to catch him. So please help us to share this out. If possible let it go viral so that everyone know. As this is the only solution left that we can do. If any one see him around pls do contact us or u can call the police. Thanks.

Ts, thanks for sharing and sorry to hear you got conned like this. If the guy is active in lowyat forum, maybe you can ask apis_lualua to help search for his identity. PM him your story or this thread as he have helped a lot of scammed victims in lowyat forum.

Bump this thread as a sign of support. That B@stard should be dealt with.

Thanks....
I wonder why apis lua lua no reply me, as I d pm him regarding this

Bro,

1. Wait for mod/mr apis to reply you.
2. You should re open your thread in dispute corner, not in here.
3. This ******* should be lock up long time ago.

Regards.

Ok ok thanks

lol he name was ip man

u met him before? when?

This isn't a case involving a lowyat.net trade.

Ya it is not invlove in lowyat trade. But if we got this type of trader here in Lowyat, do you still want to trade with him?

Of course not. The reason why I stated "it doesn't involve a lowyat.net trade" is because our Dispute Corner is only meant to report problems with trades that have already happened here.

Ok... i got you.
Actually I doestn't mind can report or not. The purpose if this thread created is to aware other to beware him. If possible let him get prosecuted.

u can always try to ask apis on a personal side to help u find him.

Is he a police or someone who work in a government?
Is he possible to help without much information?
Cause all the information he left is fake. Include the fake car no. and fake IC.
