last nite, in this topic, i replied to it and offered the seller the price and asked him to pm me if he wanted to deal, then a few mins later a guy pm me in MSN and told me he is the seller and he wants to sell it off for that price...

i asked him about the memory stick and everything, then he said he will use nationwide to send, even though it is a lil bit more expensive, but he doesnt mind (i offered rm200 + rm20 for the 2 items including shipping)... he gave me his bank account number rite away and asked for my details...

i was getting excited... but i suddenly remembered sumthin... immediately, i asked him to send me a PM in LYN to prove that he is the seller (crxr)... he said "lol, dont worry la"... but i insisted, and he gave an excuse and said "brb, i go pack the things"... then he tried to make a getaway... by saying "hey, sumone is offering me rm220 for the memory stick alone... im talking to him now"... i said "send me a pm and i will transfer the money rite away"... i continued waiting and he finally ask me "LYN got problem isit? how come i cant go in..." i kept waiting and then he said he sent 3 empty PMs to me but i never got anything... he said he was sorry and selling it to the guy who offered a higher price and said thank you to me...

in fact, when he was saying he is trying to send a pm, i was constantly refreshing the seller's profile page to see if his status will turn online but it never...

after i ended the chat with that guy, i sent a PM to the seller personally, and i got a reply from the seller and found that the bank account number the seller gave me was different and the stock was still available...

BE CAREFUL!!!

Yahoo ID: tkwfriends@yahoo.com

Public Bank account:
Name: Teoh Kah Wee
Acc Number: 4417336435

lucky u alert sial...

tkwfriends?? I thought he's a member of LYN too. Maybe you ask him to come here explain.

im sure he is from LYN... and he tried to scam me after reading my reply to that thread...

give a full history of MSN file. It's better to support that way.

there... i attached the xml file here...

btw... i pm-ed tkwfriend and asked him to come and confirm this...

and if u do a search thru LYN for 'tkyfriend' (not search as username), u can find a few other scams related to this username...

means dat he's jacking other people's potentiel buyer.

anyway,need the conversation file and him la.

shit... chinese also wanna cheat chinese... celaka... what had happened to this world ah? haih.... maybe it's the govt's fault.. hehehehe

tkwfriend is a paypal seller. Most paypal sellers are prone to 3rd party scam tactics. That's why everyone must practise a double checking and confirmation b4 proceeding to bank in money to sellers.

In this case, the scammer is trying to make buyer bank in to tkwfriend's account. The scammer will then contact tkwfriend and claimed he banked in so and so amount for his paypal. We have tonnes of such case in lowyat.net.

If possible just COD or deal with trusted sellers. Be safe than sorry.

mind ur words.
melayu also cheat melayu
india also cheat india.
french cheat french.
etc etc

oh ya.. typo... tkwfriend...

tkwfriend seems to keep getting dragged into scams....check here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/434916

Maybe it's the same con-person up to new tricks. Good thing the TS was alert!

hehe! im also very proud of my instincts!

Besides instinct this is what everyone should do before they proceed to bank in. Always double check. I dont think you have a case here as anyone could simply create another email account and claim himself to be who and who. I could even register tkwfriend@gmail.com and claim myself to be him.


If you go thru tkwfriend user page, he only puts tkwfriend@hotmail.com as his msn contact and no other email so how could you assume tkwfriends@yahoo.com belongs to him?

No, i'm not defending him but if you go thru the dispute center you will find alot of similar case.

well... im not blaming tkwfriend, im just trying to tell everyone about this new scamming tactic... and if tkwfriend can come in here and clarify this matter himself, then it should be much clearer...

and i did notice he is using hotmail instead of yahoo too...

well, just take this as a reminder to double check before doing any online transactions...
