Tldr, 21/3 banked in, item shipped on 11/4, after open up is empty processor box with 4 screws, no processor inside.

Seller said will refund to me, then pusing2 cakap kena return processor box first then only he will refund.

Reported to police on 11/4 and gather some evidence about his home address and phone number that other carousell SELLER that dealt with him gave me.

Reported to Maybank and emailed them police report and bank transfer details.

Transfer from Maybank to Bank Islam

Gave to police of all these evidence.

What are the chances that will recover? any success stories?

Update:

At last, he refunded to me and approached me via Whatsapp.

Seller insaf. Hopefully he wont do the same next time and refund instantly.

isolated case .. both are MBB client, bank wont reveal another client's details even to the police, but police will put the seller details in their database to avoid future similar case .. and good luck

buy from carousell have to be careful...

How much?


Better follow up with Maybank if they did suspend the bank account to withheld such money.

subject to his carousel profile's credibility.. if fishy, either COD or just buy through carousel instead of deal outside

cause if deal through carousel, they will hold the money first

it looks like carouse is full of scammers?

transfer RM1 remark as kutu

I transfer from MBB to Bank Islam

Around 600

Didn't pay thru Carousell?

Yahudi March Zuckerberg bersongkol dgn scammer is not creative stories. Why people still buy stuffs from fb is beyond me.

Police can get details of the bank account owner if they have warrant letter and court order letter.

This happens when police suspect that bank account is being used for illegal activities.

Did you pay via Carausel or direct transfer.

If pay via Carausel, they can help.

Direct transfer. Bodo liao

I thought polis can dapat his identity from Bank if requested?

To be frank, police wont care. Even if rm6k case, they also wont care, let alone rm600 case. They have much more serious case to handle.

They will just take your police report and maybe share those info for formality/show. You only have 2 option: either take this as an expensive lesson or direct confront the scammer if u have his name and address.

Wow, the story about scammer on Carousell also your bias can blame FB

this scam tactic so old and happened during lelong

still work nowadays, take it as a lesson

But bank will take action to suspend the bank account and withheld the money even the police did not contact the bank.

TS can bring the police report to the bank and bank will act accordingly. If they didn't, then you know why.

What if the person took out the money / not enough money inside the bank?

the bank will also suspend the account until case is finalised

most probably the bank will close the account too

please handle your police report to his bank for further action
