U newbie? This is old issue. A lot of sampah ppl use this chance to make profit. Maxis zerolution is a trap. They sign up the plan, use 2 months, then sell the phone to the new owners. Ppl usually use iPhone for zerolution since it is more tempting with iPhone than Samsung.

After they sell the phone, they just disappear don't want to pay. What maxis can do is blacklist them and the phone imei. Sadly, the phone has changed hands. The bodoh new owner thought he/she bought a new phone at a discount so they happy and rejoice. But after a few months of non payment, the phone is effectively locked.

Usually a lot of such people doing these are budak kampung. Their home address also impossible to find. Maxis won't go waste time catch the original owner. Some already change home, but IC maintain same old address.

The only pitiful one here is the new owner. Police also won't take action. Such small scam issue, u think police will bother? And since the phone sold is willing seller willing buyer, police won't bother. Since non payment is the ori owner, maxis must make police report, but small time like this, police mana bother them.

Bank account, they probably used someone else's bank account. Like grandma grandpa or neighbour. Give them rm5 to use their bank account. Police never catch eh. Don't harap. Just be more vigilante.

My advice. Never ever buy 2nd hand phone today, especially Samsung and IPhone. Such case is extremely common.
