Conman in e-Bay Malaysia. BEWARE!!!



I recently bought an item from www.ebay.com.my and it was a great deal. Since is an imported product.

I straight away use the BUY IT NOW to reduce the hassle of bidding and waiting etc.

As usual, ebay functions VERY VERY complicated (too many unwanted content) and info is no where to be found.

Somehow I feel Lelong.com.my is much much better. I have traded there 5 times & all are great experience.

Whereas this is my first time trading in ebay, thinking it has more SECURITY (as da pioneer n all - you can forget it!).

All I have about this SELLER is below:

Bank : Maybank
Account : 101030076113 <--- PLS IGNORE
Full name : Lim Sang Heng / Gerald Lim <--- PLS IGNORE
Address : Gua musang, kelantan 11790 Malaysia <--- PLS IGNORE
Email : emaxi@live.com <--- THIS THE SCAMMER


This basket will be actively replying you email BEFORE payment. And once payment has been made.

It will give excuses such as ... "Can you show me proof of transaction in JPEG" ?????

I mean... c'mon, I sent him a Word doc with screenshot! Don't tell me that basket can online but dun have Microsoft Word ???

And I took the liberty of typin out the info (with ref no.) on the email to proof I really made the payment.

AFTER that !!! He will email back saying, ..."Will check & inform you".

5 days until now. NO RESPONSE.

I even send him 3 personal emails + 1 ebay email. STILL NO RESPONSE.

and the screw up part... ebay only provide the SELLER's fullname, acc no. & address.

BUT NO PHONE NUMBER !!!

How the hell am I gonna keep in touch. sumore his email so weird... live.com ????

Anyway, I hope readers here will watch out!!!

As I am still waiting for 1-week only can REPORT to ebay.

If anyone had any similar experiences... please share it here!

THANKXX (and screw gerald!) <--- PLS IGNORE


NOTE: JUST FOUND OUT SCAMMER IS NOT LEE SANG HENG BUT ANOTHER BASKET IM TRYIN TO TRACE!!!

live.com is not weird la. it's a newer version of "hotmail" . how much money is involved?

is his feedback more than 95% positive and more than 1000?
if yes, i think it's eligible to claim from ebay

i think that is false address coz postcode for Gua Musang kelantan is 18300

Isit?! I didn't know... coz I only use gmail.

thanks for telling

Its 100% when I bid. Now it got down to 50%. Coz me & another victim gave him a Negative feedback.

Is it wise to do that?

Or should I just leave it as 100% in order to claim from ebay ???

The feedback date can tell right ?

REALLY!!! Then it will be even impossible for the police to trace.

hello ! its not happened in lowyat forum and ur thread has been closed few days ago and u open another 1 ?

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/478507

Somehow related?

Yalor.. Same bah

After reading through the thread, I think could share something in this case.

Actually u r involved in the current con trick
Lim Sang Heng is only an e-gold seller. The real conman used his bank account to get the e-gold.
U may ask Lim Sang Heng to which e-gold account (the conman's) he had transferred the e-gold.

Is this seller u r referring? e-maxis?
And the item u bought is either:
1) Dell XPS M2010
2) SONY VAIO AR75UDB

2 positive feedbacks & 2 negative - the positive feedbacks must be given by the duplicate accounts of the same conman, as proven by the freshness of these accounts (newly registered)
The address given is definitely fake because it is completely not the postcode for Gua Musang. 11790 is most probably is in Penang

@ Fishsteak, pls clarify whether the seller ID & item revealed by me above is correct before I elaborate further in this case. Pls do PM serene_kpf about this thread.

@ steventan85, everybody can share whatever they want in any forum in the globe as long as it is readable.

the SELLER must fulfill 2 conditions:
1. Seller has 95% or more positive feedbacks
2. Seller has more than 1000 feedbacks.

conclusion, out of 1000, he must at least has 950 positive feedback in order for you to claim from ebay.

@owikh84

Yeah! is completely correct. How on earth did u extract dat info whn is oredi not listed in ebay ????? Were u d other victim ?

I purchase da SONY VAIO AR75UDB for RM2300.

And yeah, the seller is e-maxis.

btw... who is serene_kpf ??? (what to PM him/her about this thread?)

Seriously.... i wud really really appreciate any help/advice given.

On top of that, alot ppl PM me saying they hav BUYER PROTECTION CLAIM. I thank you da response.

However, the prob is, da claim can be full if u use PayPal.

I use normal Bank transfer which is only entitle to "Standard Purchase Protection Programme". Which is MAX can claim only RM655 (after deduct RM95 admin fee)

p/s: Im thinkin of goin to report to MCA. Do u guys think is a good idea?

I think u do not understand what is the "current con trick" as I mentioned above.
serene_kpf is LYN ID used by the real Lim Sang Heng.
By using the screenshot of ur bank transaction, the real conman requested Lim to send him the e-gold pretending that he had bank in money to Lim's account (NOT u). He received e-gold, u got nothing.
I got conned before in e-bay worth RM2227 but managed to find the conman & refunded all after 3months. The post listed in ur case is very similar to my case, all the pics are grabbed from auctions.yahoo.co.jp. Right-click on the images will do.

so if we reli meet these kinda ppl on LYN.. what can we do other than 'hunting' down the scammer?? i doubt d police will care?

ya, police report is almost helpless but heard some said Cyber Crime Dept "might" be more reliable.

owikh84,

After reading what u said. IT REALLY make sense how this SCAM works!

Now think of it... no wonder he insisted for a JPEG.

Is there a time frame before Lim Hang Seng will transfer the eGold ???

I hope im not too late.... i juz PM serene_kpf.

And what website or channel they use to transfer this egold? Where does all this normally take place?

We now know for sure this ppl not from Kelantan. Where are they from? KL? Penang? Johor?

This ppl really really need a punch on da face!!!

Added on May 4, 2008, 2:13 pmbtw. how do u get da Bank to reveal this person info (fullname, contact etc.) to u ?

I mean, how can u get them by onli havin their account no ??

I really wana get this fellar once Lim hang seng gime his account!

Please share with me.

he used the sms to told me that he had transfer the rm to my maybank, then i checked it out, i just transfer the egold to him. i haev report the case to egold, so that i can get his egold personality. then i haev doing the currency transfer like egold, ebbulion and liberty reserve almost 3 years.

this means the guy impost Lim Sang Heng to sell laptop on e-bay,when someone bid for the price,it will transfer the money to Lim 's account,then he wil contact Lim to buy e-gold and claimed that he already transfer the amount to Lim's account,since Lim saw the record,as a e-gold seller,he naturally send the e-gold to the cheater,then the cheater will gain from this,but he left no record as all information he uses is impose one,then he can escape easily while others try to catch him,is this that means? if this true,i think that the buyer and e-gold seller both are victims...

my email add oso live.com.my lah... ehehehe
