Here is the story, On Friday Midnight I saw his thread selling iphone 5 which was a good deal RM1200, so final price to me is rm1000, so i transferred RM1030 to his Maybank bank , after i transfer the money I'm getting slow response from the seller, and he said his brother posted the item on SUNDAY (Not sure if Poslaju open this day) gave me a tracking number (EF293147179MY) at first i was shocked because this is April tracking number postage to kota kinabalu, then he said it was a typo so gave me new one (EF293257179MY) which haven't updated until now, He said he doesn't know why is this happend and he already contacted the poslaju regarding this matter, he said the latest i receive the goods will be on wednesday which is today. still didn't receive anything, I asked him for the poslaju slip since yesterday , still waiting until now he is quite a busy guy.

What makes me suspicious is
- He is quite busy after I send the payment
- Is hard to get him to reply me because he is busy
- His promise to COD with my dad at KL failed because he is busy
- He gave me a used tracking number at first place (typo)
- Second tracking number haven't been updated by poslaju until now, it's empty
- He post the item with Poslaju on sunday (not sure poslaju open this day or not, maybe yes maybe no)
- He Deactivated His Facebook (he said he deactivate fb due to personal matter)
- He Hide the whatsapp last seen (he said he hide it due to personal matter)

I Hope all this doesn't mean he is conman and i would still like to receive the iphone, but still I want to resolve this asap.
And btw he looks like a guy that have no financial problem on his FB but who knows.
And on my side, Its hard to collect RM1000 for me as a student on college with some part time jobs on Sabah , took me months for this money to buy an iphone 5 which i always wanted.

If any of you can find an information out of this guy will be highly appreciated.

(UPDATE 18/7/2014)
He posted again the iPhone, because he said last postage i gave him an invalid address. which i certainly gave him a right address.

(UPDATE 19/7/2014)
I receive the iPhone BOX!!! ONLY BOX!! WHERE IS THE IPHONE. at this part I'm really fed up, because i drive a long way to poslaju just to get the iphone just to find out its empty inside.
Claimed poslaju steal the iphone.

(UDATE 22/09/2014)
He has lied to me that he wanted to pay back, he said today today today today he going to refund but he didn't.

(UPDAte 13/10/2014)
Until now still no respond from him .

I will report to specific branches that organize this internet scam, and certainly ask a known police for help.

(UPDATE 4/2/2015)
NO PAYMENT UNTIL NOW
and this is what he says to me once i ask him for the money.

From your description I think he's a scammer

WTF bro..
another case that simply bank in to people..
whats the point of u paying the full amount when u plan to cod with him ? just pay him a deposit of 100-200 then would be enough dy ma...
adoiii easy money again

I'm actually from sabah, i wanted him to post the iphone here, my dad at bukit tinggi klang atm, was hoping for him to cod with my dad but he busy.

if thats the case i guess u should have waited for anyone selling iphone 5 in sabah and cod ..
if for me i wouldnt mind paying 100 or 150 more since its more reliable ...
postage in lowyat forum is so unreliable , even if you get your phone , it could have been damaged set and you wouldnt know , and he can blame the posloju for it .

Oh no... again? Asked for COD and claimed to be busy? That's no 1 red flag... please pray for a miracle...

Its time to reveal what u have TS. No use waiting and giving chance. You only giving him more chance to disappeared.

ok there is the photo, I'll delete it once i have the item or refund.

edit: will lodge report to police and report to specific branches that organize this internet fraud crime if he is confirmed scamming me..
I will surely won't give up tracing this guy until i have refund or the iphone, I hope he is not scamming me .

your father still at klang?

suspicious seller still refuse to cod with your dad?

My father at klang but he is.at kepong...

UPDATE 17/7/2014:
~ He said the address I gave him back then was invalid so poslaju send back the item to him which is why no update on tracking number , today he is planning to send back the item to me.


Check back the address given by you. If you gave the correct address is either he wrote wrongly or its just another excuse of delaying. Plus even if he wrote wrongly there should be a poslaju slip for that.

Good Luck

he did not deactivate his account , just simple block you ..
he is from mmu cyberjaya i think lol

ty for the info.

just straight call MMU cyberjaya to confirm, fax all the evidence to mmu admin, see if his diploma/degree worth 1.2k..

he dint seems to care anyway ..

noted

You mentioned a list of what made you suspicious but the one BIG thing u missed out is the price.
The first thing that made it suspicious is the price.
At RM1000 (a negotiated reduction of RM200 which almost no forummer does), it's already too good to be true.

He create a new dupe

AnyKang

And start selling iphone at 'attractive' price.

you can make him famous by posting in the FB page in MMU

i was quite suspicious with him too ..
ask for best price then when i mention cod he stop replying..
then when i check the previous thread he was selling iphone 5 at JB ..
suddenly his location now in new thread is KL

Find out where he live,ask GurvinAbruzzi with ts to beat him up

The seller want to pay me rm300 but since he got accident yesterday he paid me RM150, I'm still waiting for further payment

Probably he lives around this area:

Jalan Intan Baiduri 7 B, Taman Intan Baiduri,
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

One should not check in where he sleeps via social network. :/

scammers always use accident, relatives died as their excuses.......
and why settle for 300????

Juz go post his detail at MMU FB
Give no chances for scammer plss

dude u make me wana scam u also..
scammed for rm1k but settle for 300 ?
business is good yo

I only settle for full payment, he said he want to give RM300 first but then he claimed he got into an accident, so he pay me RM150 first, then another RM150 then so on until RM1030.

Hopefully...

Believe me. He just buying time. he fools you fren.

So here's the situation.. he scammed your RM1030 and now he's offering paying you back by instalment without interest?
I think you better off with reporting this to the police .

Dei tag also wrong.

Luckily I browsing here.

deiiii,no wonder i tag u few times no respon,got gap de,hehe

Fail.

He paid me again Rm50 on Sunday, i was expecting another 150 but then he have an excuse again.

been few month not even a penny anymore

done, I had enough, now is nov, until now no full payment.

Dude, you have to lodge report. Seriously. Don't wait up.

Make a police report.

Make a police report.

still no payment until now )

Some scammer just have that much relatives that die endlessly...

Good luck yo TS... although I do think your chances of getting everything back is slim...

Chances are he is finding new victims and if he is successful, maybe he will pay you something gradually as he kept on cheating on other people
