I think the mod needs to pin the below thread up : Buying Egold or Paypal from Lim Sang Heng
The first quote:
to TS, call the number to verify.

There's already a pinned topic regarding this scam:
Announcement: Beware of Recent New Con Trick


I think the mod need to combine all this thread regarding this Lim Sang Heng

lim sang heng is not the only fella selling paypal/egold
there are many many others
but it is good to have a database on all genuine egold/paypal sellers
or at least pressure them to register on a database =.=

i just hope that i can get my money back and also hope that no other ppl cheated my this name again...i really dono got such things may be happened which the money can be transfer in such a way..thanks boon and daijoubu for teach me these things...i'm appreciate it...

Call Lim Sang Heng. He might still hold your money since he is wary of 3rd party scam. Otherwise all that he utters about defending his innocence are all pure bull.

next time always dealing using pm
at least ask him to pm you before bank in.

He might or he might not. My bet the money is there but e-gold had been sent out. So if he refunded, than he is at lost.
So best solution is to call him out and maybe both go and report police on the scam. Who knows he might be gentleman enough to refund half.

bro, you have to understand how scamming works. The scammer/conman had already added the victim to MSN. Thus any replies and communication to the conman, the victim would thought that "he" is the actual owner of whom he claimed to be. You asked him to PM you back, obviously he would....unless you know who the actual Lim Sang Heng is lar...if not, Lim Sang Heng's identity had already being taken over by the conman.

I've an easy way to test.

(1) Bank in a SMALL AMOUNT of money to the A/C. Ex: RM10, RM20. If Maybank2u transfer better coz can do odd amount like RM12.30.

(2) PM/Call the seller ask how much you have banked in.

(3) If he's genuine, he'll be able to tell you what's the amount coz he owns the account, if he's fake, he'll not be able to tell you. Bank in the balance if genuine, if fake report police!

So the most you lose is a small amount.

Can work ah??

haha...good idea.
but the conman might be smart enough to call up the e-gold victim to verify also and transmit what was being told to the buyer victim.

it would be better if all this money transfer we can see the account/name that transfer the money to us, even if its interbank giro..

eg you bank in money to me i can see your account number and name and amount so in that way fraud is prevented, but it only works for online transfer and cash deposit machine a little bit susah la..

that would be the best solution, so if you say you send money to me and i know your name is this but i receive it from other people then at least i would be alerted, eg something might be wrong..

but then even if do it that way the conman can do a 2-way(proxy) job to overcome this problem..

JinXXX,
It would look like a genuine transaction with the names and accounts correct.

1. Conman sees A selling e-gold.

2. Conman pose as A and approach B who is looking for stuffs.

3. Conman gave banking details of A for B to bank in.

4. Conman calls up A and said bank in already

5. A sees transaction goes through and send e-gold to conman.

so conclusion....B who is conned did actually banked into A's account which the identity had been used by the conman.
Basically A loose nothing but his reputation as B would start complaining about A as he doesn't know the "conman" existed.

i kinda did a writeup on a potential way to curb this problem, and it requires the paypal/egold seller to be the one doing it

as for potential buyers, always try to do a search of the sellers' account name on google and see whether it turns up any hits

or, whenever you send money, write in the description FOR LYN acct xxxx to BUY item XXX ONLY, if you are not xxxx, please call <your number>

well another way is escrow service

hi,to all my brohter, my name is lim sang heng, my phone is 016711649, right now, i have a lot of egold in my hands, so, please make sure that if you want to buy egold, ym me at sang_heng@yahoo.com, then my hanphone is register at digi under my name, it is register line. what i can control of scamming your money is if new people buy egold from me, i always tell them to sms egold number to me, what i can provide the tracking is only the sms.

Added on October 7, 2007, 12:41 amuntil today, i sell so much egold i also do not know how to protect, first of all the people transfer the maybank is without the account number , it is hard to trace, so it is why i always tell people to sms his egold number to my phone if any case happen. that guy who had been cheated for rm 200 had contact me and i also forward the sms to him and let him to trace.

by the way, i only successfully stop the case whose people pay me rm550 and rm650, that time i do not have egold stock yet, then need to wait at night, then those owner account faster call, then i have return those money to the owner account.

by the way, i will try my best to stop any third party scam. i am going to do teh website to let people register buying egold or other internet funds.
