SRM,

i respect your cautious and measured moves. i think you have put it in the best way possible.

is it better to have multiple police reports of the same case? or better to have many ppl lodge 1 case?

as for tracking the  seller down, i suggest we STOP our bickering here, and take SRM's lead, or at least provide some helpful comments.

at the other thread, they were discussing utilising the UKM card. they are doing their part, but i have a hunch that it might be stolen. so i dont think he is in UKM. but let the ppl who are liasing with UKM continue with that to make sure.

reading the other thread, those ppl who called Maybank (good job guys) , maybank said we need a police report for further investigation. therefore we have our first step laid out. we need a solid hard copy report from the authorities before proceeding with the bank.  i think maybank would be the right place to continue then. about the money being transferred elsewhere, it must have started from maybank right, hence records. so once we get maybank to co-op, then we can slowly trace it.

HP no. registration, yes. since ppl hv clarified that it is registered, again we need the report, for maxis to co-op with us.

A lawyer/legal service? i really do not have the sources, but as what SRM said, it wld be best to lodge it with a lawyer who can get the point across. one more thing, will any Consumer Rights Association help us?

i know the more time we sit here and not make the report, the harder it might be to track him down. but we have to lay out our plans first now.

ok. from now, i'll be the one making records of this thread, and summarising the progress so its easier to refer.
