guys and TE/MODS pls take note of this finalsky
potential con-man

hopefully he will come out to giv us an explanation

Copied from dispute centre :

Step 1)
Negotiation done between fake seller and 3rd party seller
3rd party seller <-------------------------------------> Fake Seller

Step 2)
Fake seller ask you to bank in to 3rd party seller.
You as the buyer bank in to 3rd party seller, but expecting goods from fake seller.
3rd party seller <--------------------------------------> YOU

Step 3)
3rd party seller send goods to fake seller

Step 4)
YOU eat wind

And 3rd party seller don't know your existance.

seems like new style of scam --> 3rd party scam coming out .....it seems like hard to detect for that, coz as long as buyer pay then seller sell it and that's all....
seller oso need to be extreme careful la tis day..., terrible scam world.

aiyo .. why must cheat here cheat there .. just do the business ..collect the money and pass the goods and receive the goods . and say thank u ..and say bye bye ..

does not tis seems to be nicer in this IT world .. hehheeh ..

To avoid this type of scenario, the only solution is COD face to face

this is similiar to wat finalsky is doing

Cheat money here cannot become rich person.

suggestion....

maybe those with bulk order/ or cash first basis must registered with lyn their bank accounts nos and ic nos... these will be displayed in a locked signature or something so that everyone can view it and is transparent... then only they can trade... else... is COD...

as for postage faulty items frauds... can't do anything... just trust with the seller and buyer....

How to cheat ppl on LYN?
wow thread starter mmg creative

well, imo, as a newbie, it's no ez to cheat on LYN (for expensive stuff like LCD monitor, conroe processor). COD only can success. usually I think the best initial step is to gain other forumers' trust, (if wanna catch big fish). After some successful trades (sold), maybe can start project liao lo.. Like maybe processor.. or something expensive. coz forumers sure won't trust newbies easily since there are already so many newbies con cases happened here..

another one is quite common, that's to blame the postman.
when it comes to such situation, it's hard to say who's the conman: postman? or the seller? and thus, "trust" is very important... if don't trust seller, then better don't trade with him/her to prevent getting cheated.

to prevent getting conned, of course the best way is to COD lo.. but for edison's case.. 1st time I heard such case.. and that buyer (finalsky) is really a smart arse. lol. I agree with howeijie, cheat ppl here (or anywhere else) wont fatt tat one. conners will only end up being hunted by those who got conned.

haha
uncle limkokwing was my teacher b4 la

gulp...i just did my transaction for a jersey in one of the bulk order threads...

wat are you trying to tell here????

even i cod will also get cheat.

Luckily my 1st purchase from a lyn member was trough COD...anyway can we report online fraud/scam cases to the police? Is it effective?

i think it depends on how you bring the case to the police.....
