EDITED : extra personal details & snapshot of Poslaju receipt added. (was very disappointed with myself & Maybank, that's why didn't even bother to care about the RM250 & this thread anymore until today. the thought struck me when browsing through my old pictures & saw the Poslaju receipt snapshot plus got the conman's personal details few days back.)

guys, never believe this thing is going to happen to me. guess i've took things for granted. darn.. here's the story :

this fella (yksan46) opened up a thread selling his SE K750i and i've contacted him on Nov 30th to ask about it. he's a new member wif ZERO post and i should have been aware of that but his thread is like so genuine with photos and details so i kinda fall into his trap. damn.

he said the item still available and want to sell 'coz upgrading. he SMSed me (should have use PM instead..i was rushing 'coz wanted to get a phone for my sis) the details and everything and wanted me to pay RM10 as deposit 1st so that i won't ffk. told him i won't so the deal was made. bank in RM100 the next day (i stupidly follow what he said) then he emailed me a poslaju receipt snapshot. it was unclear but i've believed him 'coz still able see my name and address (i was too naive to believe). besides that, checked with Poslaju the next day with the given tracking code & it's a valid one. all the given details are correct.

so after that, i banked in another RM150 to him. going to bank in the remaining amount on Monday (today) 'coz don't have enough cash that time. this morning i've waited the Poslaju and arrived around 20 minutes ago. but guess what, he sent a LOCK (aka mangga in Malay) instead of the promised K750i! was furious & dumbfounded as this is the first time i was conned. but still thank God i didn't bank in full payment to him the other day. so just lost RM250, though it's still quite a big amount for a student like me..

he's quite smart in conning (i was a fool). pretend to have posted item by snapshot of Poslaju receipt but sent a lock instead of a phone. been suspecting something fishy when opened up the Poslaju wrap, it's an old Nokia 3610 box and the item inside is not compact, makes sound when shook it. been trying to reach his phone since yesterday 'coz wanted to ask him regarding the phone but it was off till now. (if he's not trying to cheat, he will for sure tell me honestly that i didn't bank in full amount that is why he sent me a lock instead, right? but no explanation given till today.)

police report was made in the afternoon the same day but after few days of investigation, case was closed as police didn't have sufficient proof for follow-up actions. went to Maybank with the police report & met with some senior officers, but all they can do is they sent the report to Maybank's HQ in KL & told me to wait for any news. until today (13/09/2007), heard nothing from Maybank. they told me that been wanted to go to Maybank's HQ to get the latest update regarding my case but didn't managed to go due to some reasons.

people has been telling me to forget about it since it is so troublesome & time-wasting to take all the actions but i'm not giving up yet. RM250 might be a very small amount to some, but to me, i just couldn't accept being conned. just couldn't let the conman run away from his actions. must made him pay for what he's done or at least, get back my money. been reading the few latest con cases in LYN & got myself even more furious than before.

nothing can do
take it as a lesson

sorry you have to suffer, but too late to regret already. should have checked his info before buying it.

always go for COD.

i believe this guy LIM PENG GUAN is innocent seller, this conman ask you to bankin money into LIM PENG GUAN, the seller account, and then he got the goods from LIM PENG GUAN.

because the name LIM PENG GUAN and Maybank 101048729272 are both clean, if you google this conman's handphone, you will find he has conned alot of people, all with different name and account number: ie.

http://bbs.buysell.net.my/bbs/archive/index.php/t-12540.html
Gan Ghia Hian
Maybank2u Acc: 105104059613
Email : intanabb05@hotmail.com
Mobile : 0177383618

see this:
http://www.google.com/search?lr=&ie=UTF-8&...-8&q=0177383618

luckily this conman uses the same handphone number, if not we wont be able to find out.

if you can find out what LIM PENG GUAN has sold out recently, with amount rm250 to whom and what address, then you can find out the real conman.

sad to hear ur story...wanna buy SE k750i and end up wif old nokia 3610...

we can google whether ppl has been chating around? means the real person is not LIM PENG GUAN? can i lodge a police report and ask maybank to get details of the a/c holder? darn..rm250 is alot..

greyPJ..never thought gonna meet u again in situation like this..if anyone can offer me any help here..would be grateful..just wanna find out who the real conman is...

yes, always google the person's info, bank account, handphone, full name etc... if got black record we can find out.

this is what i suspect, because last time he used different name and maybank account to con, this time is LIM PENG GUAN pula, yes go lodge a police report then notify maybank everything, if can get contact info of LIM PENG GUAN then you can find out what he sold recently.

Nop. lodge report to police as well as maybank.

guys..just lodge polis report..need to pay only rm2 for the report. reported to maybank also but they just said that they cant do anything..need to wait for the polis to investigate. can only get the details of the conman thru polis. i've made an report to the kementerian perdagangan dalam negeri & hal ehwal pengguna also but they said they have to wait for polis. so now all i can do is wait for the polis. *sigh* the kementerian said can file report thru tribunal pengguna and claim bac money if they caught the person..but i need to go to johor all the way if there's a court case for it..because de conman is in johor. not sure whether is it worth it for rm250. wat do u guys tink? well..for all newbies out there..this is a warning to u guys..NEVER deal wif a new person and bank in money to de fella. the best way is to COD. if reli need postage den make sure u reli do know the person..check out his/her details and everything. i've learned from my harsh lesson. if its rm50 its still ok but its a big amount of money. beware of the fon number and maybank account and the person's name in my siggy too. best of luck in trading in LYN.

hello.. care to tell me how to google the details?
because i tried searching for my own name, and it comes out with many weird things..
i tried google for my acc n my phone no. nothing comes out

sorry a bit OT, but hope somebody can enlighten me..
many thanks.

and, feel sorry for teikwing but u've lodged a police report.. which is a good step

Hard to track this guy.. he used different names and a/c no. Only use same h/p no. Try check the h/p no. got register for referrence or not.

hahaha now should be easy to find him since our goverment regulated for prepaid to register....go report the police...let him suffer...

YA.. this guys got msg me... he ask me to COD at puduraya...
luckly i din't bank in him... he say can COD on tuesday or wed...
He say if cannot wait then find other seller...

This is his hp no: 017-7383618

try go to maxis centre check more detail on this guys...
hope can give u some info...

for name, you can use quotes, ie. like this: "Cheng Chin Soon"

if you just search Cheng Chin Soon, result not good.

for bank no. phone no, just google the whole number and look thru the results, pay attention to result from this site and lelong.com.

Teikwing: you should try to nego more. If seller without rating ask them to send stuff to u first.
He did agree to send to me first but later on requested me to give him a maxis rm30 pin. I resisted so deal was hang on.
Damn lucky. So don't rushed when deal was too good to be true!

hie guys..going to meet some inspector later. will ask him to check the fon number also later..maybank has confirmed there's rm500 in the bank a/c..rm250 which is mine.. anyway...i tink i was too rushing in getting the hp for my sis..dats y kena tipu..all my fault and negligence. if rugi rm30 maxis reload pin also not so sakit hati..CrazyRock..ur lucky. can go maxis to check on the number one r? dun tink maxis will giv out ppl's personal details to any 3rd party..dun tink the guy will be so HONEST to register his number also..the due date for registration is 15th dec rite? bet he's using another number to con ppl now. anyway..i gonna track down this guy kaw kaw..wont just let my money gona like dat..thank u guys for all de support...

p/s : the last time yksan46 online was 1013pm yesterday...

never deal delivery or bank in with newbie, yksan46 is just newbie. best way of dealing, COD is the best.
