Hi, i bought some thing from a seller online and i transferred to his account last week. He contacted to me through whatsapp at first and he got good reviews so i trusted him. But now he won't reply me anymore and did not sent any details about the thing. Is there any way that i can retrieve back the money that i have transferred? I used public bank and his account is Maybank. I know i should have at first pay deposit and so on but things have happened now and i just need to know what i should do next. Thank you. If there's any Maybank banker here, it would be nice.

normally money transfer for different banks takes 3 working days. if still less than 3 working days, try contact your bank if can block the transfer.

In that case ebay would've helped.. Wish the seller return the money or send you the item, at least  Wish you luck blackwindow '

Oh well. Just trying my best. I certainly agree with you about the police report :/ That is why i'm losing some hopes here.
