There was a suspicious loop hole here since he stated that he was driving and then next he state there was no transport for COD.. if i were you.. i dun think he was a legit seller any more and will ask then just now u drive a kereta lembu ke? =="

First of all, i felt sorry for ur involving in such situation.. because i once have confronted such unfortunate too but luckily money was reimburse before then (making police report). In this case, i think both of u should have a consensus where making 2 police report and file them against the scammer. evidence such as above can be aided in the investigation but please don't rely too much since ... (u know for yourself as our safety forces were so efficient nowadays) As to file the case is to protect your own interest when something bad happen.. u have a reason to back you up.. (before you went on confrontation with his parents or scammer himself). Maybank won't entertain such issue since it doesn't have any lawful rights to freeze his account unless u have a court order to do so.. which is not an easy task to get one. So i won't recommend it and if he is prepare in scamming people, once victim has bank in to his account, for sure he will withdraw them right away.. therefore, no reason to freeze an empty account.

My recommendation is that you and the other victim went to the same police station and lodge a report against that scammer and plan a day to visit his parents to alert them on his doing together with the police report (if not his parents may deny the facts his son was a scammer) If u can find that scammer, it would be better.. don't use (force) on him.. take him to the nearest police station (unless he's willing to return the money he scammed if not please proceed with it and let the LAW spank his ASS)..

Oh i see.. then just file a case against him independently and ask them to sent a copy of the police report and keep it for yourself for future reference.. u can't simply freeze other people account although u have the reason to do so.. the only option left was to search his hideout and hope it was a legit address (not move to somewhere else) then pay him a visit regarding this matter.. Please don't apply any brute force against him although u may because i don't think it was a good idea..

Hmm.. but karma is bad no matter who started it.. Just check whether those address is valid or not? if can bring in some people with you.. just in case something fishy do happen.. since nowadays youngster was rough... One word "greed" kills.. Most of the time if u really saw something "cheap" u must request a COD if not don't proceed.. 90% was scamming case if the price was too good to be true..
