Hello all,

I have been looking at this thread and dispute thread and nothing is about being scammed by customers.

I Wanted to ask, if you are a customer and you bought smtg more than 10k online somewhere around (eg July) and you would like to file a dispute with the bank that you did not receive any items. Should this be done immediately or you have a plenty of time to do so becoz the bank would still entertain this case ? Because the bank entertained this customer and is asking any form of proof of delivery from the merchant.

Scenario
July : Buyer (scammer) bought rm10k worth of items online using cc. His orders went through Succesfully (verified by marketplace). Buyer requested for cod and seller agreed to cod (but without proof of collection by buyer eg: siggy, ic,etc, traces of conversations have been deleted - YES STUPID )
Seller then updated the orders to self pickup and acknowledged delivered by marketplace.

Aug- nov : peaceful transaction... No complaints..

Dec : seller being informed by marketplace that customer has filed dispute to the bank that he nvr received any items from cod. Marketplace was ready to charge back Rm10k to seller since without solid proof of delivery to the acquiring bank.

My question :
seller being informed of this dispute in dec but not immediately (perhaps august, a month after he realised he did not receive any items from seller?) the gap between july and dec is far too long for the buyer to file this dispute. I wonder if the buyer really reported in aug but the bank took 3-4 months to inform the seller ? Or the bank accepts dispute regardless how long (180 days-365 days) as long as the buyer claimed he never received the items ??
-what possibility and logic of that buyer to file dispute to the bank after several months not receiving the item ?
-What possibility and logic of the bank to accept dispute of a case that happened so long ago ?
- wondering if the buyer is a genuine lost card holder ? Buyer is no longer contactable... Hmmm

Chances are slim to seller since no solid proof of delivery but marketplace is charging seller over negligence ? Marketplace claimed bank do not care since no solid proof of delivery.

Police report will be lodged but can police report benefits the seller ?

I thought I saw something similar not too long ago. Someone familiar with the chargeback confirmed that seller would not receive the money. Hence better to sell on platform like lazada who will absorb these cases for a few percentage of your profit.

Any chance of directing me there ?
Cc holder filed dispute to bank and the bank is asking proof of delivery from the Marketplace. Merchant failed to present solid proof thus All the transaction is being charged back to seller..

Thanks for ur input. Never knew Lazada would absorb if such false claim made by customer exists.

TS, did ipay88 disclose info on which order with fraud? Did you happen to have the customer name ? Might have similar case. Only that seller cod with customer. Paid everything via marketplace. Customer Disputed to bank saying didn't receive items after 5 moths. Made big purchase. Same pattern. HP not contactable. Decided to report police although chances of winning is slim.

We have the customer's name etc. But handphone for COD is uncontactable. Feels like that every part try to wash hands off because of the scammer.

Could be same person. Who knows....
I cant contact this scammer too. If he is so genuine why cnt he let me contact him ? He said he didnt receive any of these items.. Why he didnt look for the marketplace or merchant ? Why need take 5 months to realise u didnt receive items only u dispute to the bank... Shit so angry now.. Haih

Even with all the proofs this scammer can say he never COD, receive, sign and do anything... Everything u prove, he will deny and the bank still accepts this .. So disappointing.

Any update?

Able to get trace from courier? The recipient address is the good info to trace from.

The address could be anywhere not the actual address. If its a well planned scam then he has already planned a nice location for the delivery. Just maybe waited there to collect and buzzed off after collection. Even he could put up a fake id and name on the consignment

I am interested to know how soon the cardholder made dispute report upon this case.

If ts and my case, 5 months gap only he realised he purchase/ receive the items. Funny that bank accepts such large gap time for dispute. Doesnt make sense since the anount is high. Genuine buyers would be nervous as hell if 1 week they didnt receive the items.

QUOTE(GrowTentProject @ Mar 10 2017, 08:43 PM)
hopefully, he/she make the report and fight it lar .... dont just pay up ....

i might suggest Merchant team up with gateway (after all gateway services are paid a fee by merchant and have input details by the "buyer" during check out) ... they should provide all information and advise to merchant and not let him/her fight blind (at least advise and represent them abit since they are paid) ...
*
Will make a police report on my case. I cant diam diam. Its so obvious a scam. Even my winning chance is almost 0.1% since i had removed all my most important evidences (nvr thought this could have happened and its been 8 months+)
And about teaming with marketplace, its almost 0%. When i asked more details about the dispute and maybe info of that scammer, the marketplace is like defending him. Said cant disclose this la bla bla bla... Need protect the privacy of the customer. Im not sure what i asked is right or not but i need accurate info to be provided to the police.

But i agree that everyone is pushing the ball to the merchant and hope we pay.

May I which marketplace is that? If it's 11st, afaik once the buyer ckick on Confirm Purchase, they can no longer say they didn't receive the good right? Afterall, a sane person would only click that after they got what they bought.
*
Can't really disclose but I can say it's not 11st. But it's top 3 marketplaces in malaysia. 11st is protecting the seller at least with that system. If a customer did not confirm purchase within a period of time, it will be automatically confirmed so that only the money will go to the seller.

QUOTE(jack2 @ Mar 10 2017, 10:22 PM)
is your case still going on?

question bank the bank why the gap is so huge for cardholder to realise? And because of the cardholder refused to pay, the bank kiasu and perform such claim from provider and provider claims from merchant.

I think you should submit the case to BNM as well as the bank has broken the conflict of interest to protect themselves since the claim period has been lapsed but still they initial the claim.
*
Yes, we just received the dispute from marketplace saying this customer did not receive any of the items he purchased. The marketplace said the customer has the right to file for dispute to bank from 180 days -365 days. That's very absurd vmad.gif all I know Was that this customer bought in July and filed dispute in Nov-Dec. Is this logical/reasonable amount of time for the customer to realize ? vmad.gif

Bank who initiate the claim is cimb. The scammer used cimb cc for purchase. This is my guess only or unless he could go to any bank to initiate the dispute ? I am dealing with the marketplace so all the info Regarding this customer is non disclosure.

Unfortunately as mentioned earlier, I can say I lost all the important evidences. Only screenshots of receipts as proof of. Collection. As for BNM, do I still stand a chance to report with them. I just finished drafting my police report. It is painstaking since I need to squeeze the juice out of my brain to remember all the details of dealing between the scammer and I sad.gif

I am interested to know about your whole story on how to happened so i can give you some valid points to claim from.

Only the credit card issuer can claim disputes. This, is CIMB in your case.

File a report to BNM as well and cc a copy to CIMB.

Basically i lost all my solid proof to fight back. But here's the full story of it.

QUOTE
JULY 4TH- initially this customer made a staggering amount at our company website using cc before raya. Out payment gateway emailed us to take precaution of this customer due to this high amount. My company did not have a team or any expertise in handling fake cc verification therefore we decided to cancel his orders. I called his cc card number but not reachable. The secondary number is callable though. A chinese lady picked up the phone stating that his boss(cc holder) would like to purchase several electronic items for raya to his employees. She seemed pretty genuine from the sound of it and i assisted her to go to this marketplace. I was greedy since who didnt want a sale becoz i could have asked her to go to outlet but the sale would be mine from the marketplace. Marketplace has verification team so even if the cc is fake, they would reject it. The lady's orders went through and total 5.

On the same day itself, this lady had been texting via wechat about the orders and everything. Our company was based in ipoh and we had outlets in kl. she said his boss has company in ipoh, melaka and kl. she was in kl and her boss in melaka. I asked why his boss never answered calls, she said he was busy and she was the one to do the ordering on his boss behalf (already sounds fishy as i typed however i never would thought this all that time) Her orders consisted of items that were available in ipoh and She was begging me to allow her for self collection becoz her boss needed the items before the raya holiday and the courier has stopped delivering. So i let her to self collect 3 items at kl outlet. I asked her to bring receipts (i found this out later, that she printed the receipts from marketplace) and to give me her ic. She told me she wouldnt be collecting. She has a malay employee and i pass the info to the sales person on duty. The sales person checked everythinh including ic and receipts, everything was right and passed the items to the malay. Later i received a call from this lady saying thank you that she has gotten the items

JULY 5TH- the lady still has 2 items. There is no more courier and she has asked me pass it to her at ipoh nearby after working hour. She said a man (forgotten this man relationship with them, relative/employee.. Its been too long) will be collecting on behalf. My colleague and i drove to that destination and waited for him. He called my number saying he has reached. He took notice of me immediately since i was carrying smtg. (Actually from here, i have almost forgotten the scene... Trying my best to remember) i gave him the items with the receipts in envelope. He said he will pass to the lady or smtg like that (no stranger becoz who would have accepted anything if he was not notified earlier). Well i only realised i had forgotten to do the most important thing - I DID NOT ASK FOR HIS SIGNATURE/DETAILS TO PROVE HE HAS TAKEN THE ITEMS-DUMBEST THING EVER !!! 😞

Conversation between me and the lady stopped since her orders were fulfilled

JULY 12TH - made another order. This time i told her that no more self collection. She said ok but must change the shipping address. It was stated first to melaka but said would be better to ship to KL (have forgotten almost all the reasons she gave)
I changed the shipping address without notifying the marketplace (AGAIN MY BAD !!! Most of the time i never done this coz customers would tell to marketplace instead directing with me). The parcel reached and was signed by another name. The name, address, signature was diff but the telephone remained in the shipping address.

Conversation ended. No longer in contact. Marketplace has certified all orders made by her/boss delivered. Payment made to my company

DEC 15TH - starting to get pic from marketplace to ask me for proofs of delivery for these orders. I failed to provide since most of it deleted and those i provided were not strong enough

(Investigation has started for this case...)

MARCH 2017 - marketplace said since i couldnt present solid proofs, all orders will be charged bk and deduct from the next settlement.

Of coz i couldnt diam diam and pay back easily so i went on checking and digging bk proofs

Some details/evidence i got
- this cc holder filed to bank that he never received all the items
- the malay guy that was asked to collect at kl was actually not an employee. I contacted him since he wrote his name, ic and telephone on the receipt. He said he was a passer by and was dragged by this lady. He said she was begging her to collect coz she didnt bring ic. This malay guy agreed to help and gave her his details. She gave 4 receipts (4 orders) to him. These receipts were printed out from his/her account. It wasnt really an actual receipt but can be considered since it stated the items and quantities purchased. 2 copies receipts were screenshot by my sales person
That pretty sums up the whole thing. U can say i am tge dumbest ever living person for not keeping the proofs. I can say the amount will be burned...

Sorry for the long story and my english. It went bk to school since i started working ><

Thanks Jack2. Yes will do.
I called the bank negara. She advised me to make a police report too since the marketplace isn't willing to disclose any info of the bank dispute to me. I roughly told the operator my case and she said it is obviously a penipuan case when I told her the customer no longer contactable.

There are few recommendations from the operator is to involve police and skim too

[UPDATE] Police report lodged. However, scammer couldnt be traced without actual ID and Name. Advised to lodge report to BNM. Marketplace isnt cooperating and not sharing the details of the dispute from the issuer bank. Or issuer bank didnt send any details or black & white to them vmad.gif Is this even possible ? A dispute claim without proper details, IC and Name ?

How could they can't give the information when the police is investigating?

May you upload your plice report? You can't just report by specifying your case. In your report, you need to "press" to let police opens file and investigate on this matter.

Then, they will pass your case to commercial crime department and they will investigate.

Yup oledi passed to commercial crime. I gave my statement to the sarjan for almost 4 hours. He said i broke records for writting 4 pages report. That marketplace said they didnt have any black and white or ic of the disputer from the issuer bank. Not sure how possible since if bank chargeback u need to receive their B&W clear details.

Now i will direct BNM. Marketplace cannot be trusted

Update

BNM advised to seek issuer bank cru unit. Cru unit said cannot attend the case becoz the merchant is a 3rd party. Police report has to be lodged by marketplace bcoz they were the one dealing the charge back n payment. Statement proving payment received and being chargeback has to be provided by marketplace in the report.

Anyway, marketplace refused to do so because they have no reason to do so. They cant provide statement becoz issuer bank hasnt charge back. The merchant has been charged but they were not charge back by issuer bank yet. Market place is holding merchant's money saying no solid proof provided that items were delivered.

Will lodge a police report against marketplace and CIMB as advised by BNM

Updates :

My case closed as well. Rm10k has been credited back to my company. Despite low chance of winning, the advise from lowyat won the case for me. I went to BNM, Issuer Bank to police station for several months just for this case. I hope issuer bank has blacklisted the scammer.
