Hi,

I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN INTO SOME TROUBLE - you will know why when you read till the -end-

Again i would like to remind those that have been cheated but yet to make a report, please make a report if you would like to punish the guy who once conned you.

Update 1 : I just finished giving my statement and will have to return tomorrow with some other witnesses.

They told me that Lee Wai Kuen (presumably his real name) have been remanded today in court and will last for 72 hours. This i believe is also the time frame for those of you who have yet to report to make 1 asap. It will be best if you can do it today and post the report here because tomorrow i will also need to produce as much evidence as i can and i need to convince them this is a strong case irregardless, therefore your support is very much needed. Even though if your case is 1 year ago and you believe that this is the conmen you're looking for, make a report as well and maybe u will be called to 'pinpoint' the captured suspect. If everyone are able to point to the same guy, then perhaps chances of him coming out is less. They have hinted me that if the case is not strong enough, they wont be surprised if he's released without conviction.

If you have more info that you can furnish to me so that i can be more well prepared, feel free to contact me on my phone or to pm me, but i cant check the pm all the time.

Update 2 : According to them, he's now currently in lokap pudu although i am not able to confirm the authenticity of the information because i have not seen him, and i believe i am not allowed to see him until he's produced in court for official charge.

I believe there's many of you who are interested to know what happened, i dont know how much i can disclose but i will write a little first. I do not want to get into unnecessary trouble until the case is solved.

Story of how i got conned : 3/1/2014, i contacted stevenchiew88 to ask about the phone and the price, and he told and elaborated long story to me and i was convince i could at least meet up with this guy to buy the phones... yes phones... i asked for 3 units instead of 1. And he asked to meet at 8.30pm in viva homes mall. I agreed. After work i rushed over to viva homes mall starbucks (initial meeting point) but his phone was switched off. I kept calling and finally it went through and he asked me to go 1 floor up instead and i just went to meet him. OTW up the escalator, i saw him as he describe what he wears and i told him what i wear and he waves at me.

I shook hands and he told me that the stock is not here in viva homes mall and that he needed to go Kota Raya to collect it. He offered either he could fetch me there, or i could fetch him there or we could both drive, but later mentioned that its very jam and troublesome to drive in 1 car and asked if i could drive him there. Thinking it should be safe i agreed. Then he passed me a receipt for RM XXXX.XX *censored for safety purpose* but u can do the maths, attached with a namecard (says that its his friend shop here in vivamall and he's helping his friend to sell) and later tell me that he doesn't have enough cash to take the stock because i asked for 3 units. he says he have a few k and asked me to prepare some cash first to take stock later. So i went and withdraw some cash in viva homes (i purposely did not prepare the cash because i was worried if i will get robbed or something), After withdrawing, he kept talking to me and i kept testing him for loopholes. I asked what he does, why he do this, how he get stocks, where he get it, why he can get so cheap and he's able to answer me very fluently (as opposed to normal conmen, usually u will find them stuttering at times or thinking what to answer you). He talks to me about his hobby and many others. So i felt that this guy is kinda similar to me when i was younger and trying to find some extra cash by doing small trades with handphones.

OTW driving to Kota Raya, i was still very aware but has loosen up as i kept testing him and he's still able to answer me. And stories he tells me really made me felt like this guy is so similar to my life so i kinda felt nostalgic. When we reach Kota Raya, he asked me to stop behind the car outside the roadside and then tells me that its just gonna take a while and its hard to get parking. I said ok. He then asked me about the freegift if i would like to have the matte screen protector or the diamond ones, i said i am ok with matte. Then he asked me for the money so he can take the stocks. I counted my money but felt not safe enough. I told him i want to follow him and pass the money when i get the phones. He then says that i cant really go up with him and that he also doesnt want me to know where his supplier is otherwise i can take the stocks myself next time - i have told him in the car that if he still have stocks i might need more as my company colleagues are changing phones as well to help him out - (this is where i made my 1st mistake in 10+ years of internet trading... i let my guard down because i was feeling nostalgic) i understood where he was coming from and passed him the money and told him i trust you so you better be real. He went down the car and then before closing the door he says this will take about 10-15 minutes only and he walks inside Kota Raya.

I waited for about 2 minutes and had the urged to go down and find him but i couldn't just leave my car there so i decided to wait for a while more. After around 20 -30minutes and still no sign, i called him but went into voicemail. i then texted him to ask if its gonna take long more, MAXIS came back with a message that the sms cant go thru because the phone is switched off... I immediately get a parking and went down and saw that most of the shops was closed. I didn't waste my time searching i straight get the security to help me and view the cctv.  They told me all shops are closed except for a few thats right infront so there's no way the guy could still be inside the mall. The security was very helpful but there's nothing they could do but to offer kind words and with the cctv recording. Another told me that just not long ago, a similar case happened, a couple husband and wife from johor got conned as well. After viewing the cctv and saw the guy, i went and make my report.

Thats part of the story i think wont do any harm by sharing. The other part will have to wait.

Anyway for those who wants to say why i so stupid go and pass money to him before seeing the stocks bla bla bla bla bla, and how you wouldn't do the same stupid thing bla bla bla bla bla. u can keep it elsewhere. I know where i did wrong, as much as i tried not to do it im still a human with emotion, and i just let it overtook me. I have traded online for so many years i know how easily a scam can happened. So thank you for those who supported me. It meant alot to me

P:S - the guy was 'accidentally' harmed in the process of getting caught        but i seriously wished for a longer period before the authorities came to his rescue.
