Its perfectly normal for ur imagination to go haywire as this is the real world

before doing any postage deal, 1st thing to check its the seller credibility, that is to ask any buyer who done deal before

2nd, if seller is a newbie who just registered recently and selling goods at extremely drool.gif price, dun proceed

QUOTE
4. seller give lots of excuses or refusing to take any responsibility.. (most of them state in their topics that they wont b responsible. who is?)


so ask before u make the deal, u have the priority here, not the seller, just ask

QUOTE
5. seller state in their post that postage is at BUYERS own risk. there is definitely a risk. if it is like that, who can explain why postage is still used in delivery of items? honestly, i bought goods thru post and they arrive just on time. consider myself lucky to be able to get honest deals. there should also be an assurance that goods will still arrive no matter rain or shine.


yeah, there is a risk, so opt for better postal services and pay more for it, at least the risk is at minimal

QUOTE
1. is it possible to track their address?will POSLAJU allow to disclose senders personal details?


normally in con cases, the con man will not even bother to send out the parcel, then how are u going to check with poslaju? hmm, btw, isnt the sender`s address and name is on the parcel sticker?

QUOTE
2. is there a high chance that these conmen get caught by the POLICE? (after making a report)


usually no.. see the sharilwan case

QUOTE
3.AFTER BEING CONNED or REALIZING THAT WE ARE BEING CONNED, what is the first thing that we should do? call the cops? tell ur mummy & daddy? call moderators? is there a place where we can get immediate help?


make a thread in the Trade Zone Helpdesk & Dispute Resolution Corner, find out more about the con man, i know some forummer has some "ties" with bank or the police and may help u get more infomation regarding the conman

QUOTE
4. is there a sample document of a police report which forummers who are conned can download and edit then send to the police? (maybe the moderators can type it out and leave certain areas of the report blank so that forummers can fill it in on their own..or maybe those who have done a report can upload it here so that we can use it as example to follow AFTER BEING CONNED.)


err, why dont u go the police dept urself, i am sure the officer in charge there will be willingly helping u out

good luck

I just want to give my opinion, story a bit... and my idea on this[i think this will take maybe 1, 2 ,3 years or maybe not happenning at lowyat.net...]
  i used to get conned once but after a few months of paranoid and petrified i started to get well once again and opened myself to the online trading again...and till today, thank god the deals that i have made seems to be good and no cons (thankfully and hope that i will be always lucky).
i think if there is a real trade inforcer of lowyat.net{ i mean the real community of people who helps secure deal) and helps to check the deal if its running smooothly... that should be great... people who helps other people deal for example doing a favour to send the item for let say from perak to kl or penang to johor and so on .The community on which people trust on them  and they have the discpilines and trust that  they should comply... other than that we can donate to this people even a ringgit or two for their willingness to help us and use their free time just for the sake of security...and maybe we can set up lowyat trade enforcer for every state...(hehe like a police branch pulak)

Then again this is just a mere opinion of mine...but if this can be done that will be great....

just my 2cents.....biggrin.gif

theres something call safe trade in lelong, but i doubt lyn will do such service as lyn is not entirely based on trading
