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!!!

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.

@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?

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!!!
