I've been watching his thread/Facebook page since I came across his thread back in Oct 2012. Back then I only requested for information and quotation, but I did not have the time to send in my PS3 and laptop for reballing. He replied through PM on the quotation and his contact/details which is the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/FusionTechnica). I have since liked and followed his progress/works on the Facebook page.
Everything seemed to be going very well, so I finally took the time to contact him again and arranged to send in my PS3 and laptop. He tried to ask me to bank in deposit first. First sign of suspicion, but I thought I was just being too sensitive. Told him deposit is not an issue, but it'll be after he takes a look at the PS3 and laptop.
Timeline:
February 28 - Sent in PS3 and laptop. Paid deposit RM200 on the spot. Was told that it'll be done in 2-3 weeks. He was friendly and seemed passionate, so I was quite relieved.
March 1/2 - Bank transferred another RM50 because he said he needed it to buy material (thermal paste). Second sign of suspicion but communication so far has been prompt, so I shrugged it off as normal. Around this time he said 3 of my PS3 screws are giving him a hard time.
March 8/9 - Bank transferred another RM90 because he said the laptop GPU is busted, need to order a new one from ebay. Third sign of suspicion, so I went and checked the price on ebay, it was reasonable. Plus, the PS3 and laptop were already in his hands, I've already paid deposit and I just want to settle it once and for all (coz the PS3 and laptop have been broken for some time). I confirmed with him again that this will be the final topup and there will be no additional fees, which he confirmed. At the same time he said he'll work on my PS3 and if things go well, it'll be done by tomorrow.
March 15 - He updated me through SMS and said PS3 is almost done. I also noticed he updated the Facebook page (I saw my laptop GPU in the latest pics).
March 27 - I believe my PS3 and laptop are done, so I SMSed him and asked whether they're done yet and I'll come over to collect them. No reply.
Since then I started to really suspect something is fishy. Looked around on Facebook and his Lowyat thread, started contacting some of the forumers to get information, and came across his previous dispute thread (wetfusion). His number (017-3686964), goes directly to voicemail, while another (019-9180012) doesn't get picked up. Last seen on Lowyat March 15, and Facebook page last updated on March 15 as well.
Till today, didn't hear anything from him yet. And so, I am here posting on this thread.
To Afiq: I personally do not want to cause any issue, so if you are done with my PS3 and laptop, just let me know and I'll get them from you and pay you the remaining of payment. But the way you're acting now, it's not really helping anyone.
