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
BSN 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.

EDITED:
Credits to Carefulss for sharing this information.

Yeah, you're right about that. I never thought about such things before I made my purchase back then. I'll take this as a wake up call and as a reminder to myself not to repeat this kind of stupid mistake next time. Anyway, thank you for telling me that, bro. Really appreciate it.

Thanks bro and I hope that you guys would never experience this kind of things in the future.

Will do, bro.

Oh, I didn't know such kind of service do exist. Kudos for telling me that, bro. You have my thanks.

Thank you. I feel the same way here. I know it would be almost impossible to get my money back but I really hope this conman will be brought to justice someday.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope that mofo conman will be served to justice later.

The output / result of the check does not identify the operator, only whether it's the same operator or different.

OK, I was talking about the 'Mobile Number Check' link.

Have not tested the SMS.

nama semua betul cuma dia kasi alamat Pahang..
thanks la pada yang pernah terkena n berkongsi maklumat dengan yang lain

It's great to know that my post has saved your husband from being conned by that pathetic guy. The painful lesson that I (or other people) could learn after being conned by that scumbag is to never buy a console from strangers through postage no matter how sweet would the offer be, especially when it is too good to be true. Hopefully my post could save other people from being conned by that scumbag.

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

http://m.mudah.my/view?q=ps3&ca=9_3_s&e=0&...&ad_id=25589269

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.

Hehe...that's out of our jurisdictions bro.

here is my conversation with him

Gila conman.. xnak explain pulak

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.

This post has been edited by kenwa: Feb 13 2014, 12:00 PM

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.

This post has been edited by TendouJigoku: Feb 13 2014, 02:35 PM

Thing is, my case is a bit special in that the kid that scammed me is a bit of a dimwit. A simple Google search of his name, RedXMota, yields his Playfire account, which actually has games that he advertised.

Next, while he used multiple LYN accounts for his scamming, there's always a consistency; broken English, Kota Tinggi as his location, strictly Poslaju, and the best part: all of his stuff *always* has 4 months of "warranty" left.

And, he's already pretty famous with the Kaki-Gaming Malaysia group, in that he tricked a few people in banking money, but never got around to sending the item that was promised, like games and an entry-level graphics card. So far, I believe my RM500.00 (well, RM1,000.00 if you count another he tricked in the same deal) is his highest yield so far.

Finally, he's not very good at erasing his tracks. In one night, I found his Steam ID, several of his Facebook pictures, knew someone from his neighbourhood and his home address. Unfortunately no IC number though.

You'd argue then, if he's such a dimwit, why was his scam still successful? Well, I can only provide you with one answer for that: Dark Souls 2 is releasing this April. It's enough to turn a usually-head-on-my-shoulders self into a slobbering idiot just waiting to buy a cheap PS3.

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.

This post has been edited by TendouJigoku: Feb 13 2014, 04:17 PM

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.

This post has been edited by KingKellog: Feb 13 2014, 04:35 PM

Hehe...I see. Yeah, that could explain.

You have a point there.

I really wanna leave everything to the officials but...I need to do my "part" there which is to beat him into a pulp. Just kidding. Yup, you're right there. Going physical with him is unnecessary at this time.

Think of a bright side, buddy. The favor is on your side at the moment. Just use everything you have to crush that Hidayat guy and bring him to justice.

is this really effective and could help on it? i have been conned as well last week if u notice my post earlier on. the amount was 2700. i will try this if really helpful. thanks.

Worth to try rather tht keep complaining in forum

terima kasih kepada yg bagi info pasal mamat ni..semalam saya berurusan dengan mamat ni utk beli nokia lumia 1520..seken,harga rm1020..nasib baik bila dia bg detail nama no akaun n tel saya sempat google dulu manalah tau ada kes ke mamat ni..rupanya mmg ada kes pun..untuk makluman semua mmg semua maklumat yg tuan TendouJigoku beri sama kecuali no tel..sekarang dia pakai 013-9342566 ..dia cakap dia area kuala rompin..

I'm glad to know that. Hate to see more people fall into his prey.

It's no surprise that he uses different numbers and fake his location when scamming people since he wants to avoid getting caught. Getting a new simcard is easy and cheap nowadays so after he is done with his preys, he would simply throw away his current simcard and proceed with buying a new one later for future "activity".

So it seems that this guy is still at large, posting ads, and have the potential to scam other people?

I think so.

bump for awareness

Hi all,

Be aware of this website:
www.a1centre.com.my
Jeffri
0193233871

his bank account number and name:
Muhammad Hafiz
RHB 16812200002652

He will sms you to offer a tuition jobs, request you to pay commission upfront to get a number. He could provide you the contact of the 'parents', if you call the parent, it will sound like real, but after one week, u can't contact the parent anymore, he will give excuse like relative pass away, etc .. and the phone totally cannot be contacted anymore.

As for Jeffri, he will never reply you nor answer your call after he get your money.

My friend was conned by him... He is still using this phone number and account, still active now, BECAREFUL guys...

Good luck...

This is so terrible

Thank you.

Hmm. I wonder whether this Hafiz guy is the same person that I posted earlier in this thread or not. Nevertheless, I'll add this in the first page in this thread soon. Thank you for your information.

It is. I hope they'll burn in hell.

How the hell is this guy still free...? How many of you have lodged a police report?

BTW, to OP, how's the case? Did you get your money back?

I did.

I don't expect to get my money back when it comes to this, to be honest. I just want him to be brought to justice so he could no longer con other people.

Damn! Just found out this CONMAN Muhammad Hafiz is still active!!!
He is using cimb bank now: 7000058759

He also setup a fake website: http://www.kayakatering.com.my/

all the phone number: 0183808079
0192527521
0192383395

All fake phone! But I guess he is not using them anymore ...

WTF?!!!
How come this mofo is still alive and kicking? Makes me wanna question whether the cops do their job or not.

How did you find out it's him, by the way? Did you make any kind of deal with him?

Thanks for the info. I'll add it into the first page.

This website is still operating, someone should raise some awareness regarding this illegal operation.

I am reporting to the form service provider EmailMeForm to suspend his account, hopefully this will slow his activity down. I will also try to report to the webmaster for blogger to shut down his unethical business as well.

[Update]

I have already submitted a Report Abuse to EmailMeForms and also flagged his blogger site as Spam through Google. Now the ball is in their court and that is the least I can do for this community.

This post has been edited by altan: Dec 12 2014, 12:08 AM

I really appreciate your effort on this. You have my thanks.

No problem!

[Update]

Good news, EmailMeForm has disabled his form and placed it under review! The EmailMeForm team made a wise decision.

Cool. Thank you once again, bro.

Did u open ur case at the consumer tribunal?

I asked the Consumer Tribunal regarding this but they require me to provide the address, IC number and phone number of the scammer first before opening the case. I dunno how to find them because the scammer clearly used the fake address (no IC number given to me as I didn't ask for it and his phone numbers are inactive now) when he was dealing with me. They need those details so they (or me) could issue a letter (I dunno what the letter is called, it's something like a letter that requires the scammer to go to the court to defend himself against the verdict) later. I don't even have a slightest idea on finding those missing details.

Now,

Muhammad Hafiz bin Hamzah may or may not be the real person behind this arrangements. Is there a possibility that someone is using his account to avoid detection?

It is said that www.a1centre.com.my is using Muhammad Hafiz bin Hamzah account information and thus, a1centre is an accomplice to this criminal activity.

AICentre.com.my domain is registered to:

Zamzuriyana Yaziz
Education Network Corporation Bdn. Bhd (220770-a)
A1-G-9, Cengal Condominium
Jalan Sri Permaisuri 3, Bdr Tasik Permaisuri
55400 Bdr Sri Permaisuri
Wilayah Persekutuan
(Tel) 011-29107082

Education Network Corporation Sdn. Bhd. which is also related to Knowledge Network Corporation Sdn. Bhd. is a dormant/dissolved company as of 2011.

Thus, the domain records shows that www.a1centre.com.my which was registered on 7th November 2013 must have been by someone that have documents pertaining to a no-longer existence company, and using it to register a domain for the purpose of scam/unhealthy activity.

Since it is registered by Zamzuriyana Yaziz and the scam involving an account number of Muhammad Hafiz bin Hamzah, thus, the lady mentioned above must have known this person or using this person’s account number for this activity.

I have also checked the records pertaining to all the company and it’s company secretary information and the “Cengal Condominium” is nowhere to be found. Thus, it is a possibility that the address above is the current address used by Zamzuriyana as she will be required to entertain any mailing or documentation posted for the registered domain that she did above.

Zamzuriyana Yaziz (detail information)
IC: 791214025558
Address as per IC: 26, Kampung Kuala Sungai, Kubang Rotan, 06250, Alor Setar, Kedah
Her Current Home address may be as per stated in the domain registration above.

IF! Kayakatering.com.my is using the same account holder information, thus the person registering to the domain will be:

Hasrizal Hashim
KATERING SERI CERMAI SDN. BHD
No 17 Bukit Puncak Utama
Jalan Puncak Utama 3/1
54200 Bukit Antarabangsa , Ampang
Selangor
Malaysia
(Tel) 019-2527521

And Again, KATERING SERI CERMAI SDN. BHD. is no longer operating and have been dissolved as of 2009.

The address above used to register the domain is not related to any of the registered company as per the domain information and the company or company secretary records and thus, there is a possibility, that the address is used by the current person now.

There are 23 Hasrizal bin Hashim currently in Malaysia, however due to the email used by this person which is hasrizal1973@gmail.com, it is a possibility that he is born in the year of 1973.

From that year, there’s only 1 Hasrizal bin Hashim in the country of Malaysia.

And his detail information is:
Hasrizal bin Hashim
IC: 730906055361
Address as per IC: No. 9, Lorong AU2A/16, Taman Sri Keramat, 54200, Kuala Lumpur


Now, this findings are based on a close possibility of who this person may be. It is not ACCURATE due to the lack of information provided by your forum. So, there is a possibility, that the information provided may not be TRUE but, based on what is given… this is the closest we could gather.


As for “MUHAMMAD HAFIZ BIN HAMZAH”, there are 37 people in your Country with the same name and surname from various states and location. Until further detail is provided, we can’t pin this down. …. YET.


WAAWALWDNFWDNFEU - A

Nice detective skill!

Just some additional information, I took a snapshot of the whois lookup for kayakatering.com.my a while back. Didn't know it would be useful until now.



Attached thumbnail(s)

Nice information you got there.

I would be really happy if someone could provide Muhammad Hafiz's IC number so we could narrow the searches here.

any latest news?

No, sadly.

I would be really grateful if anyone else out there that has good information that could possibly lead to that conman to post it here. I no longer mind my lost money and take it as an expensive life lesson. I just don't wanna see another victim comes out from that scammer.

Sometimes it is not about the money, it is the justice.

Agreed.

Comman alert:


Location: suspect conman located in Kuching / Sibu (Chinese)
Akaun Bank: 502184061232 (TC HEONG 118 ENTERPR)

Hp no: 011-12613941

he initially posted an asus phone on mudah.my. Location in klsentral. ask to paid rm20 as deposit to avoid ffk.

However later he ask for 120 more claiming he has outstation call to Sibu at last minute and he will post the phone where the remaining rm140 off balance to be paid once the phone arrived.

Disappear once rm20 + rm120 was transferred to above account.
