It's useless for your info. When I registered my Hotlink, the MASA Centre in PG just gave me a form and asked me to fill up my details. I can put any name that I like, Ah Tu, Ah Gau, Ah Beng and even the address can be fake too. They don't even bother to check my MyKad too so since that's the case, I didn't put the real details there because if you didn't know, Maxis sells our info to those time travelling companies, that's why I had a number of calls from them because they'll use whatever info they have gathered from Maxis for their telemarketing rubbish.

So, don't be so sure if you have someone's hp number, you'll be able to nail the person. Just my 2 cents.

The prepaid registration drive or campaign is nothing but to please the government. Telco companies don't care whatever we write there since it's prepaid mah, we'll never owe them money but if postpaid, it's different lah, they need all of our details exactly as stated in our MyKad. Frankly, if you do a survey, most conmen or conwomen are using prepaid lah, report police also useless lah if the person used fake details. How can the police trace the person, call the number and tell the person, we want to arrest you, please tell us your location, we'll send a brand new Campro white coloured Waja to pick you up and when you reach the balai, you'll be detained 24 hours, you'll be given a place to stay with three meals a day?

FYI, they can freeze the account but whether you can get your money back, that's another seperate issue. It depends on the police investigation.

Yeah, they do provide 3 meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, you can ask the person who has cheated your money to have a one day stay in Bukit Aman Resort, it will be a lawatan sambil belajar for him. Sincerely Bro, I hope you get back your money from Maybank.

When you make the police report, try asking who is the IO (Investigating Officer) so that you can follow up your case with him without having to go through his officers or those sitting in the front desk. Get his number, just call him directly.

It will take a while to get back your money depending on the investigation so we might be looking at least 6 months or more. I know, I know, it sounds crazy but it's like that in Malaysia. Anyway, just don't give up and I'm sure God is fair to you.

My classmate is a policeman with the commercial crimes department in PG for your info, I always go there to sembang-sembang with him so if any joker try to con me in LYN, I'll make sure he gets three meals a day in a special resort.

Well, as for the bank, it's up to their discretion but since the seller put it this way, it's hard to solve the case since only partial of the amount has been transferred but technically if he didn't mention that the deposit is not refundable, you have the right to ask for the RM250 if the deal doesn't go through. Try speaking to a branch manager from Maybank, preferably from the HQ. Bring along all the supporting documents with you. I know it's a messy situation but if you can convince the bank officials, they'll release your money.

RM250 is a lot of money for the average person, pursue this matter, don't just give up hope. If for 25 cents, maybe don't lah, you can forget about it but it depends, if based on our principles, even 1 cent also money so cheating is cheating regardless of any amount involved. I'll suggest you to take this matter to the upper management in Maybank, preferably their HQ because their HQ has the final say in such cases. Branches don't have the power to decide such matters especially when dealing with fraud, scam or cheating cases.

Don't thank me Bro, I believe you shouldn't hold back and you have every right to pursue this matter, you're the victim here after all. Anyway, if people con me, sure die lah but I'll give them a chance to explain, if satisfactory, case close lor. I'm a reasonable person and willing to listen.

If they failed to carry out their duties, report to the IGP in Bukit Aman. When you have proof and everything, there's no excuse not to act based on the leads that you have obtained. You need to fight for it as most of them in the police force have a tidak apa attitude especially those low level ranking officers, you'll need to give them a push, don't forget you're paying their salary, in the form of taxes. Get what I mean?

Damn, how insulting. If I'm in your shoes, I'll ask them for their name and tag, I'll straight complain to their highest level officer. We go there to make a report, make fun pulak. What if a girl got raped? Just laugh loudly and say gadis ini kena rogol, mau tengok? My friend's car got hit by a car from behind so he went to make a police report, you know what did the officer ask him? You'll be shocked. Siapa langgar kereta awak? Melayu ke? I told him, so kalau Melayu, you tak mau terima report lah? Mana adil? Kita bukan rakyat Malaysia ke? He was shocked when I raised my voice. Hehehe. My friend said I gila, later kena tahan for insulting an officer, I said to him, where got wor, I'm exercizing my rights as a citizen.


Those lower ranking officers are earning peanuts, their salary maybe less than a PSP so definitely have a tidak apa attitude but if you increase their salary to RM2K and above, they'll greet you with a red carpet and give you a cup of Nescafe before you start making your report. It's like that lah, what to expect, most of the time when we make a police report, did you ever come across any friendly, helpful and polite officers? Most of them muka masam one, like they hate their job very much.


That's why so many conmen on the loose lor.

3rd party fraud case will complicate things further because the police will not know how to believe. Sometimes, we dunno whether they're banking in the money is to the actual person or to another account unsuspectingly. Such cases will often left unsolved since a lot time is need to prove this and that. If it's a straight forward case then there's nothing to loose.
