this MOFO, actually ran of with my Chaintech AA6800 Turbo while doing a COD at night. He, a tall & thin malay guy, fair skin, wears a black framed glasses and smokes, had told me that he was interested in my card @ rm450 and COD at SS19/1H. I asked him to COD at 6pm but he tells me he's sitting for SPM this year and he forced to stay at home, so he can only 'sneak-out' from his place at 9pm. He initially asked me to meet him at the RC track and dealing was set at 9.30pm. However, feeling that the track is dark and damp wasn't such a good idea, so i told him to meet me near the main road in front of SS19/1H junction. He comes 15 minutes late, walking whilst smoking, greets me and i get out of my car along with the card. He attempts to open the box and i tell him that its drizzling and that i will take an umbrella out. I then show him the card and he asks me few questions on the card. After placing the card back into the box, he then talks to me on some hardware mods not related to the deal. A few minutes of talking, this ******* bolts away with the card in his clutches. I jump into the car and chased him until he runs left into another road, i then shout 'curi' 'dia curi' which the local neighbourhood guards nearby noticed. he goes into a small alley where the car can't enter and i take my car to the other end chasing him whilst the guard was also chasing. the persuit ends when the chase ends up in a park seperated by a large monsoon drain and although i tried going to the other end, he was nowhere to be see. Nevertheless, i return to the scene of the crime and i am so delighted to see the security guards holding my card. He told me that that guy was slowing down and was panting and even the guard was tired himself right until that guy left the graphic card and continued running. I am thankful to the guards and they will be rewarded for their deed. As for the crook, he ran off, and wasn't found.

I would like to urge my fellow brothers and sisters to organize a proper cod or dealing b4 rushing into a deal.

-COD in a busy area that you are familiar with
-Ideally in a restaurant
-Don't COD at night
-Don't deal with new members or few post count
-Don't get distracted with talking
-Get the money then have your conversation
-Have a friend or two to be with you

It just happened eh.
Well, God blessed that your card's still with you man.
And thanks for the heads up for notifying the rest of the members here.

yeah man. i was really hard-up on getting it sold as cash was needed. but, i left all my years of experience down the drain in desperation.

lol..maybe this is the first case like this in LYP. feel sorry to you. long time to wait a buyer but suddently end like this.

thx guys. i learnt my lesson. either be patient or be the victim. somemore this guy looked damn weak (didn't look like a danger).

OMG first case of snatch case during COD . Guess COD wasn't safe anymore.. This sob should rot in jail

your card still working huh??? and he's so daring, dare to snatch face 2 face!!
nex time buyer/seller should snap a photo b4 the cod begins, lol

wah......bad la.........snatch case!

it's working well. fortunately, the packaging and size of the box saved the card + due to its huge size (47cm x 33cm x 8cm) prevented the crook to run off with it !

Wow.. Sorry To hear that bro...

never thought COD would be dangerous ...

DARN...

Should be carefull next time when i do COD...

OMG. What a SOB. Anyway, if i COD an item over a 100 bucks i bring my digicam (dont have a cam phone) n tell him gonna take ur pic before we deal.

Did it to one guy selling 200gb wd hdd near the Specialist Centre in pg. He sure didnt like it but i told am just keeping the pic just in case.

I have a suggestion here. Next time bring along a spy during cod. Your friend will be using digital cam or hp cam and snipe buyer from far. Then when this snatch thief buyer hit and run, post his picture up in the forum. See how he con ppl next time

He must be 1 desperate mofo...

Good to hear that the guards were willing to act though

This is first case happened in LYN. I'm worried more conman might use this tactic since it's now widely 'educated' to all conmen. A brand new scam method

I think he didn't plan about it, or else why would he be talking to you for so long?

In a split second he decides to do it.

BTW, have u tried calling him?

I tried calling him, it got through
