Before I start, there is another PayPal seller conned by him - http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/485700

On 12th Of September, this guy by the name Lim Shien Tat request me to buy his game stuff thru a website, grandomart.com. Each transaction is around $19 and I did twice for him, in which he promise to bank-in in RM the next day. The next day, he told me he banked in cheque and ask me to buy once more for him.

It sounds so fishy that I refuse to do. While waiting for the cheque to clear, he banked in RM50 and asked so that I could buy another $19. It was short of RM10, and he say he would top it up tomorrow. So I thought it was alright and bought another $19, which is around RM65.

A few days later, he is like missing in action, blocked me on msn and not replying my sms-es and calls. He owe me RM140 in total now. Below are some of his details:

House phone: 03-40234553

Handphone: 017 2273848

MSN: newbiechamp@hotmail.com / bubbleblueheaven@hotmail.com

Address:
114B, Jalan Pahang
Setapak, 53000
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Lowyat.NET Acc: eggy89 (I believe he have more than 1 acc)

I plan to call his house phone this Sunday, hoping his parents will pick up. Any advices?

RM140 is not a big amount, but I just feel like giving people like him a lesson. He know I'm just 16 and he's 18, and yet he don't feel ashame to cheat someone who is younger than him. Looks like a kiddo to me for cheating just for game.

First of all, I'm just 16. Secondly, I don't have a vehicle, and thirdly, I don't have a gang (yeah, poor thing lol)
By the way, I took the address from the previous victim, so I'm not sure how true it is.

His sister's Friendster at http://profiles.friendster.com/27286564

I just call his house phone. His auntie picked it up, and I told her.
The she call him to answer, and he ask me who I am and say he didn't buy.
I'm really speechless and I tell him I would check the h/p number registration if it's him.

What should I do? He's a real pure idiot, damn it.

Anyone working in Maxis can help me to check his number, 017-2273848?
Need his information.

He admit he is Lim Shien Tat, but he say he did not buy anything from me.

Later they report police give my number to them then die

Think so. I stopped wasting time for just RM140 with this stupid noob.

Another MSN address of his lead to his sister's Friendster. I obtain the name from the other victim of this scammer. The house phone is definitely correct. And it's obviously he's pretending if you listen to his voice while on the phone. Not panic nor confuse, but just simply a pretending voice. Screw him.

Maybe if you wanted to, maybe act as one of the scam victim. He might have lost count of the number of victims scammed.

Lol, who dug this old thread.

140 is not a small amount, but since I'll definitely need someone's else help, I would rather not hassling them. Just take it as a lesson, rm140 to prevent a further scam that might worth more, maybe. I'm 18 already by the way

You're right.

Nop, I just did the payment on that game site using my PayPal.

The problem is, the PayPal account and credit card is not under my name. I might have problem if PayPal is asking for documents.

It's already 2 years, so I guess I'd forget about it. I just want people to remember his name
