Details of the complaint :

1pm : I purchased an Apple iPhone x 256gb (2nd Hand) from this seller on Carousell (gadget_tauf). However,the seller claim he is from JB & I am located in KL. So we agree that I will transfer 50% deposit and he will post the item out with a bus driver that will be driving from JB to KL. He inform me that I have to collect the item from TBS once the driver arrive and then I will transfer the balance 50% once item is on my hand.

1.32pm : I transferred the 50% deposit and he informed me that the item has been sent out at 4.15pm bus from JB to KL and will arrive in KL around 9pm.

6.02pm: Bus driver Whatsapp me and told me to wait for him at Times Square main entrance at 9pm sharp. Details :Starmart Express.

6.17pm : The seller sent me a message saying to clear the balance 50% payment as the bus driver has now changed the drop-off location from TBS to Times Square and I was not agreeable to this as we agree beforehand that I will only pay the balance 50% payment once the item is on hand.

6.22pm : Seller was adamant and insisted I make the full payment for the item as the bus driver will not have the time to get down from the bus and allow me to inspect the item as he will drive to Hatyai,Thailand from Times Square straight.

8.47pm : I just reach Times Square and I replied the seller stating I will update once I have transferred the balance 50% payment once I collect the item from the bus driver.

8.49pm : Seller told me he is worried that I will just collect the item and not transfer the balance payment and hence he wanted me to make the full payment. Seller also said if he wanted to cheat me he would have already blocked me on Whatsapp.

8.54pm : Seller said transfer the balance Rm1000 and he will provide me with the number plate of the bus OR if I don't want he will refund me back my 50% deposit I have paid. Seller said I have his I/C Copy & his Whatsapp photo.

8.57pm : I got angry with the seller and insisted I will only make the payment once I have the item on hand and why is the seller changing his words/promise now and I will definitely transfer the balance payment once I receive the item.

9.09pm : Bus driver told me he can only pass me the item once I have made the full payment to the seller and claims he knows this seller before and this seller has a shop in JB.Bus driver also provide me seller's shop address : No.106,Jln Padi Ria 19,Bandar Baru Uda,JB (not sure if this real address or not).

9.17pm : I transferred the balance payment of Rm1000 to the seller and the seller provide me Bus No Plate BKB9999 to arrive at 9.45pm @ Times Square.

9.25pm : Seller de-activated his Whatsapp and completely unreachable now. It said this Whatsapp business account has been registered as a standard account.

9.35pm: Bus driver deleted blocked me on Whatsapp and unable to view his display picture anymore.

I am going to be making a police report later today. This post was just to make aware of this seller on Carousell who has cheated and scammed me.

Seller's contact details (Muhammad Taufiq): 018-8727907
Bus Driver contact details (Tajuddin): 017-2017656

any update after police report being made?

seller join less a month, mmg kaki kencing BERLARI2 laaa

So sad.... I hope that you can get your money back. Always do cod

Bro.. Buat report polis and pergi buka file di tribunal.. Google it....nnti bank acc bank dorang semua kena block.. Itu time baru dia kelam kabut contact you balik..

2.1K for an iPhone X 256GB already sounds unreal.
Clear cut scammer tactics to attract people for deals too good to be true.

Still got people believe bank-in huge amount for non cod trade. Haiz... Nextime do cod is better check the phone quality b4 gave money.
Whatapps photo maybe fake.
Just do police report about his account good luck...

Why so stupid to deal like this. If seller is not trusted, you should avoid postage deal in the 1st place. This kind of deal, u got no security at all.

TS, remove ur real name & mobile number from whatsapp conversations screenshot. Takut nanti ada org scam jadi pegawai polis trying to help u out.

betul2 tu

Another victim kes

I have already made the police report and currently awaiting for the IO from PDRM to take down my statement later today so they can investigate this matter.

I will also be lodging a complaint with Tribunal for Consumer Claims,hopefully they will be able to investigate and bring this seller to justice.

Thanks for the support fellow members and will update this thread whenever I have an update.

Why report to tribunal? They have no power to take this case.. If tribunal do hv power, u also need to send some paper thingy to scammer by hand afaik..

Only police will take this case but still depend on IO.. Rajin or not

sendiri greed + low wit + no logical thinking + ....... + ..........

think with butt also know is scam.
the IC you think is real? maybe not.

ic scared show face gg

so stupid la you bro.. easy to get scammed..

Anyone can help me how to know/get my RHB car loan account number. Already knew pay with car registration number but really want to know my loan reference number.

I speechless ady......

Millions of times posted here, COD best option.Zero outcome from Police report, Tribunal,etc 100%.Too good to be a true good deal, different tactics and story telling to convince greedy consumers.
