OK, about a week ago I made a deal with a Kelantan guy. The item that I wanted to purchase from him was a PS3. I think the price for the second hand console was not too bad. It was not something like a "sounds too good to be true" deal. The price for the console was RM700 at first. That conman told me that he could offer the console for RM650 and asked me whether I agree to the discounted price or not. I was like "Hell yeah, why not?". I banked in the money (RM660 including postage) and emailed the transfer slips to him. After awhile, he told me through SMS that he already posted my PS3. He used two numbers to message me since his first number seemed to be ran out of credits, which I'll post them at the end of my post here. He also told me that I had to wait for two days for the good to be arrived using Skynet. I said "OK" and asked for a tracking number. He didn't reply. I was taken aback and worried. After that I kept calling and messaging him asking for the tracking number of my PS3 for two consecutive days but that mofo didn't pick up. I called again on the third day, only to learn that ******* had switched off his phone. On the fourth day, those numbers were no longer available. I tried to contact him through his email but I've yet to receive any reply from him until now (I doubt I will, to be honest). I think I'll lodge a police report regarding this matter soon.

Here are the details of this conman:

Name (on ad): Acik
Name (the one he gave me): Muhammad Hafiz bin Hamzah
Name (on BSN bank account): Muhamad Hafiz bin Hamzah
Account Number: 0600141000029551
Email: sintetic00@yahoo.com.my
Location: Kg Telaga Lanos, Kelantan
Phone Number 1: 011-19913109 <-- which telco is this?
Phone Number 2: 011-29201318 <-- which telco is this?

Please tell me from which telco those numbers could be because I want to get more information from the respective telco after I've done with the police report (I suspected they belong to UMobile). I'm sharing this with you guys hoping that you guys won't be conned by this f***ing conman in the future. If you guys have any information regarding this conman, you are more than welcomed to PM me. Thanks in advance.

Damn bro,u also helped me out by posting this! Almost fell for his trap by selling a ps3 on mudah.my. he offered rm500 without any game which is an ok price for the console

Great to know that another person doesn't fall for that conman's trap like I did. That conman really knows how to spark someone's interest by playing with the price (not too cheap and not too expensive) which would greatly do him a favor (in a very inappropriate ways). I bet that scumbag's money is going to run out soon so he has to start scamming people again for quick bucks. Trust me, I would pay to see that f***er gets trolled by someone someday.

Anyway judging from that picture, I bet he took it somewhere on the internet. Since all the games in the picture are R2 so I guess the console (that he was trying to sell to you) is from EU. "You know what , who cares about the origin of the console? I just want the damn console! He offered me a good price so there's no way I would refuse that!" That was my thought that costed me RM660 so you better be careful next time, bro. Have a nice day.

I did trolled him after I found your post. I've been delaying his SMS,making excuses to transfer the money. Then he keep calling me but I did not answer. He later SMS me and ask me to confirm if I want the ps3 as they are other person asking about it. I said yes and will transfer the money after my shower. He replied what time and he is going out and later will check ATM machine. Decided don't want to waste my prepaid credit anymore, I simply copy paste this link and have him explain things. Till now,no more reply from him...

if scammer still active .. cant PDRM do some sting ops .. do some undercover work hehehhee!!

Hahaha...serves him right. I bet he must be panicked to death back then. Kudos to you, bro.

here is my conversation with him

This is suspiciously similar to my case: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3117861.

What is it with PS3 and scammers these days?

Yeah,better check the details before doing any transaction. I will normally use google image to confirm if the image is found on other website from a different person,google the person name,got any fb or anything.then google the account number used for the transaction just to make no report made before.no point googling the phone number as it will simply changed.

I cought 2 3 adds in mudah and reported them by using this method. Of course i waste my credit coz most of then not using whatsapp. But butter then wasting hundreds of my hard earn money right

Luckily, I made my ps3 purchase last week from a good/honest person. @shamsulaswad.

hopefully the conman will get the retribution that he deserve from his wrongdoing.

I'm sorry to hear that, bro.

Well, I think that because those scammers could easily scam people by offering a cheaper PS3 price compared to retail since there are lots of people in here are looking for PS3s. They make it better by playing around with the price which is not too good to be true (and yeah, it's negotiable as well) so there's no surprise that people might fall for it. Who doesn't like cheap price, right?
Yup. I had learned my painful lesson after being scammed by him. I made myself a promise to never let such kind of thing happen to me again in the future. Shame on him if he fooled me once, shame on me if he fooled me twice.
I think so. As for me, losing a little bit of phone's credit is wayyyyyy~ better than losing hundred (or more) bucks to that conman. Thank you bro for taking your sweet time shoving his lies to his fat and ugly face.
That's great.
Heh. I would break his arm if I had a chance to meet that scammer in real life so that he couldn't scam other people again. Yes, I admit I am THAT bad so don't judge me. What goes around must comes around. Karma will be on its way to him, he better be prepared for that.

What I meant is that why PS3 specifically? Why not an Xbox 360, or 3DS, or Wii U?

And, please don't adopt the "oh, it's karma, I'll make sure it'll never happen again". Erm, no, just... no. It's people like you who scammers target, the one who thinks the risk of scamming someone who gives up early is worth it.

No, I will chase this Hidayat kid until I get back what's due, or I give him a KPDNKK report that'll leave him with a RM100,000 fine.

Like I said in my previous post, that probably because of lots of people in here are looking for the console. I know it's just a random guess but still...you can't deny its possibility.

Oh, man. I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that when I made such kind of statement. I'm just trying to you know...educating myself for my foolishness of falling into such a crappy scam.

If you have the power and knowledge to do it by yourself then it's cool. I respect that. Trust me, I would love to hunt down the guy that scammed me earlier as well so I could beat him into a pulp but too bad I couldn't do it by myself. I could only lodge a police report regarding him and sit back here waiting for a (hopefully good) news.

Oh wait. RM100k fine? You can do such thing? I bet that f***ing Hidayat guy would wish that he hadn't been born into this world.

Well, pretty much so. I mean, I *am* looking for one now, so that could explain it. Although most I know looking to get PS3s for cheap plan to resell it, so...

I think I came across as more condescending than I thought, sorry. What I mean is that, scammers triumph only when guys like you and me do nothing. Don't let them have that victory.

Not being smug or anything like that, but I'm kinda glad that I got tricked by a dimwit instead of a veteran scammer, haha. I wouldn't go as far as beating him to a pulp or anything, don't want to give them any ammunition for a counter-report.

Keyword here is "jika disabitkan". But I have more than enough evidence to implicate him. Just a matter of our police's competency.
