QUOTE(shamsulaswad @ Feb 13 2014, 11:49 AM) 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. 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.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  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. QUOTE(TendouJigoku @ Feb 13 2014, 02:26 PM) I'm sorry to hear that, bro. What I meant is that why PS3 specifically? Why not an Xbox 360, or 3DS, or Wii U? 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.  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. |

QUOTE 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. 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...QUOTE 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. 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. QUOTE 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. 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. QUOTE 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.  https://ttpm.kpdnkk.gov.my/portal/images/tt...n%20penguna.pdf Akta 599, Akta Perlindungan Pengguna Page 28: QUOTE Menuntut atau menyetujui terima bayaran tanpa niat untuk membekalkan 16. Tiada seorang pun boleh menuntut atau menyetujui terima, apa-apa bayaran atau balasan lain bagi barang atau perkhidmatan, jika pada masa tuntutan atau penyetujuterimaan itu orang itu— (a) tidak berniat untuk membekalkan barang atau perkhidmatan itu; (b) berniat untuk membekalkan barang atau perkhidmatan yang berbeza secara matan daripada barang atau perkhidmatan yang berkenaan dengannya bayaran atau balasan lain itu dituntut atau diterima; atau © tidak mempunyai alasan yang munasabah untuk mempercayai bahawa dia dapat membekalkan barang atau perkhidmatan itu dalam apa-apa tempoh yang dinyatakan, atau jika tiada tempoh dinyatakan, dalam masa yang munasabah. Page 34: QUOTE Pelanggaran Bahagian II dan III menjadi suatu kesalahan Keyword here is "jika disabitkan". But I have more than enough evidence to implicate him. Just a matter of our police's competency.25. (1) Mana-mana orang yang melanggar mana-mana peruntukan Bahagian II dan III melakukan suatu kesalahan dan apabila disabitkan boleh— (a) jika orang itu suatu pertubuhan perbadanan, didenda tidak melebihi dua ratus lima puluh ribu ringgit dan bagi kesalahan kali kedua atau yang berikutnya, boleh didenda tidak melebihi lima ratus ribu ringgit; (b) jika orang itu bukan suatu pertubuhan perbadanan, didenda tidak melebihi satu ratus ribu ringgit atau dipenjarakan selama tempoh tidak melebihi tiga tahun atau keduaduanya, dan bagi kesalahan kali kedua atau yang berikutnya, boleh didenda tidak melebihi dua ratus lima puluh ribu ringgit atau dipenjarakan selama tempoh tidak melebihi enam tahun atau kedua-duanya. (2) Dalam hal kesalahan yang berterusan, pesalah hendaklah, sebagai tambahan kepada penalti di bawah subseksyen (1), boleh didenda tidak melebihi satu ribu ringgit bagi setiap hari atau sebahagian hari selama kesalahan itu berterusan selepas sabitan.
