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!!!

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

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...

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

hehe! im also very proud of my instincts!

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...
