Hello everyone, I'm Raymond. I've checked my LYN account and it is confirmed that it is compromised. Unfortunately I have the same password for LYN and my gmail email account. I have changed passwords since.

I do not know this person "TS Pronton Enterprise" account no. : 5520-6803-1857 Maybank. and how this person can get my password for both lyn and my gmail account. It is definately not my banking account!

Kelvin did call me at 2+am in the morning and I was sleeping already at that time. You (kelvin) did mention something about you are ready to make payment and asked me to check for it. I replied you that I cannot check for funds @ 2am. I even told you to look at the time you are calling me.. i sounded unpleasant. I was unsure what payment you are making for at the time of our teleconversation, as I do trade online for automotive spare parts and performance parts it is not uncommon for customers calling me to confirm payment. You did not mention about what, the amount and to which account you are going to transfer money in our teleconversation. That is what I can remember!

I never had PAYPAL account nor do I trade using PAYPAL. Several people did SMS me asking about paypal funds and I always reply them that do not trade and it is a scam. However, they did not mention how they got the messages. (whoever i replied to and if you are reading this, please do tell us here)

Kelvin, to my understanding you have made a police report. Which is good. I also suggest that you bring this report to Maybank and request that the funds to be frozen for the time being until matters are resolved. You and the police will have my full co-oporation to get this matter solved and the real criminal punished.

The criminal will surely try getting the money out from TS Pronton Enterprise. Ask the police to do something with the account holder. The truth will be out there if the police is doing their work.

This is not a first time a criminal which stole reputable sellers identity for scamming. My nick (ftzone) has been everywhere in forums and not just lyn. I couldn't possibly monitor all. The best policy is to call me at 0164786000 during working hours and get things clearly sorted out before you make any payments. I am sorry Kelvin, if you are a little more patient. If you called or sms me again before making payment (at a more appropriate time) you will not fall into the scam. I myself is a victim of an identity theft.

Sincerely,
Raymond

p/s: for all other potential scams. always try to get confirmation with the actual person or do not trade at all if you feel really uncomfortable. you shouldn't rush into making payment for a deal which is too good to be true.

Yes. That is my website. www.ftzoneracing.com
For automotive parts www.ftzoneracing.com/store

Kelvin,

I have too lodge a police report about this matter. If you require the report number please do call me up.
As mentioned earlier, you and the police will have my full co-operation.
I feel that it is not so appropriate to write here on what our next course of action. The scammer as you may know maybe reading these right now.

Rgds,
Raymond Wong.

I am only aware of this after Kelvin brought this matter up. I do not know what case you are referring to 1 month ago and not that I am aware of.
Unless you can clearify for me what is happening & I hope that you can call me up instead of being written here.
As I mention again.. I wouldn't want to discuss this in the forum as the scammer may be reading this. If any one wants to know more information, find a policeman or the right authority to speak to me in person. I will gladly meet the authorities which can solve this matter. I am eager as well as all of you to get these solved and get the scammer punished.

If anyone wants to come and see the real ftzone (Raymond). I welcome you. Don't need to pay anyone to trace. Also, it is illegal to obtain a person personal information without police or court approval. Because that information can be used for something else which may not be of a good cause.

My address is stated in my website.
Address: No.6, Ground Floor, Jalan Todak 4, 13700 Seberang Jaya. Penang.
That address is where my kiosk/shop is located.

rob,

thanks for coming out and pointing this matter. the account does belong to me but it was hacked and abused by the scammer.
it was actually hacked since 3rd oct until 5th oct and the unfortunate Kelvin got conned on the 5th. (I only get to know that my account was hacked on the 5th) prior to that time frame i seldom log into LYN.

anyone that received messages from 3rd until 5th either from ftzone.racing@gmail.com or from lowyat.net with the nick ftzone, please view or trade with cautions. If you suspect anything, please drop me a ring directly at 0164786000

currently the police are doing something about this matter. i hoped that my nick "ftzone" would not be labelled as conman such as in this post title.. i feel sad, abused and victimized. i will do my best to see that the real scammer is punished and my name cleared.

despite all the warnings...

you still don't get it? eventhough your case in unrelated to me, but let me answer your questions.

1. "FTZONE" is not PRONTON ENTERPRISE or TS PRONTON ENTERPRISE.
2. Maybank Account of TS PRONTON ENTERPRISE is used for scamming purposes.
3. TS PRONTON ENTERPRISE exists.. otherwise how can you bank in money?
4. You should lodge a police report.

How did you got scammed? I am sorry to say... but these are the facts.
1. You expose yourself to scamming potential. (WTB Postings)
2. You didn't search in the forum or google before making payment.
3. Careless, greedy & being impatient is your main reasons to lose your hard earned money.

Which Raymond you pmed? What nick in lowyat? What was the phone number used to sms or called you? Please be specific and get your facts right. I do not want further confusion over here as your case is not related to this forum post and myself.

Before all these, I seldom login LYN. Also, it is not uncommon for someone pretending to be "FTZONE" to scam careless buyers.

I have a shop as well as tyring to cope with online requests and sales. My online websites which are busy would be from lelong.com, zerotohundred and my own www.ftzoneracing.com sites. I do not have any successful trades yet from LYN since I registered my nick until now. Thats why I seldom login LYN.

Furthermore, I have posted warnings in my website for trading purposes. Who would you blame if they don't check carefully?

Hope that explains your doubts

2611,
why don't you post up the information & phone number used to contact you? or open a new thread on the complain. i am sure LYN has already provided a sample format posting up the complain in the dispute section. you could pm me the police report number as well... i will forward it to my IO (Investigation Officer) so that multiple reports have been done to show that the following bank account is used for scamming.

rogesterada,
the truth is always out there if you are willing to make an effort to find it. it is always very easy to make assumptions and pointing fingers on someone you don't know on forum postings... however, have you really went through all the facts? you are assuming that i am making up my story that my email was hacked? because of that assumptions of yours, it could effect my reputation. Do you think that is FAIR? do you know or understand the feeling of being framed for a crime you didn't commit? i am feeling that since 5th oct until now.
why don't you share the information on how you get to catch the conman of yours? that will be a better help instead of making "not so helpful" guesses.

For all the victims, please urge the police to open a case. By just lodging a report is almost useless. I had urged my IO opened my case and it should be in Bkt Aman as we speak. When you have opened a case together with the police report, the police will investigate. I pray for that my name is cleared and the real conman captured. (As a victim as well, how I wish I could smash a hammer on his/her face and brains for the stress i'm put through).

Here are what I did since my police report.
1. Police Report.
2. Report will be handed down to an IO (Investigating Officer) It could be a Sergeant, Inspector or C.I.D
3. Got the name and contact number of the IO.
4. Asked IO if the case is strong and it is worth investigating.
5. Follow up with your IO on the case.

Opera33,
on the question you posted,


I've tried my best level of effort to warn about anyone of a potential scam. I did post warnings in zerotohundred, my lelong store and my website about payment issues. I didn't expect that my accounts was compromised when rob_z3_man smsed me. All I thought is was an attempt someone trying to pretend as me and I've prevented rob_z3 being scammed. That was it. How often would you think your emails being hacked rite? not until shit happens to you.

To all concerned LYN members,

Kelvin and myself attended the much awaited Tribunal hearing.
The Tribunal President has decided to cancel Kelvin's claim againts me.
Therefore, I hoped that I have cleared my name in this matter.

To the real scammer out there, this ain't over yet....

To Kelvin,
I hope that you could change the topic of this thread to "Beware of TS PRONTON ENTERPRISE Maybank Account" instead of accusing me as being the conman.

Kelvin, with your edited thread title, it is even worst than the original... now you are accusing me that I am also known as TS PRONTON ENTERPRISE? This is called defamation! I was trying to be nice and I think I have explained myself clearly. I had enough tolerating this from you.
Do you know damaging ones reputation with baseless accusation is wrong? If I said that you looked like a gay! would you be be happy?
The Tribunal did not accept your case because they have a good reason. Because all these while you have been just accusing me!

cschun86,
deleting accounts will not solve anything. if some one used your name to cheat, will you change your name?

Added on November 21, 2008, 12:09 pmEventhough I cannot recall who you are and what items you have purchased from me but I thank you and appreciate that you shared your kind thoughts.

I travelled by bus from Penang to KL for the Tribunal hearing. I sat a 1am bus and reached Pudu at about 5.30am. I walked around like a ghost trying to figure out how to get my ass to the Tribunal... and finally I got on a bus nearby and got off at Jalan Chow Kit, I walked again for about 1km to Putra Place which is actually known as The Mall. I was there at 7am and I patiently waited for the Mall to be opened. After the hearing which ended at approximately noon, I got myself lunch and got myself 2.30pm bus back home. I reached home at about 7pm and so was tired that I could hardly even open my eyes.

Did you guys know that about 10 million Americans suffer from identity theft? I now really feel their pain. Trust me, it's very time consuming to proof that you are innocent. The good news is that if you never cheated anyone or defaulted loans you didn't take, the truth will usually surface and the thieve will be caught eventually.

Hacking into e-mails is not impossible. The President of the Tribunal told Kelvin even FBI website has been compromised before. It is just not fair for a victim of identity theft to bear all the responsibilities. I heard Sarah Palin email got hacked too.. so Sarah Palin and the FBI is guilty? I have done my part as soon as I know that my account was compromised, and I believe that is the best I could do. Anyone not happy? That is no longer my problem.

FigureManiac,

I am sorry about your case. But if I may ask, which part of my advertisement and product description that you didn't understand? I have clearly mentioned that the projector headlamps with ccfl rings are sold without warranty. It was a bargain, and I believe you decided to purchase it eventhough you are aware of the risks.

You see, sometimes a product is offered at a low price that the manufacturer, distributor and sellers cannot afford to provide warranty.
I have tested your headlamps to be in working condition before I ship it to you. It is unfortunate that the headlamps ccfl lamps failed after a few days using it.
It is not my intention to sell you faulty products. I have spoken to my supplier and they cannot accept any returns because the product is sold as is.
If I recalled, I have offered you an apology and recommended you a solution. You could change the CCFL ring to a new one with some aftermarket rings, but of course it isn't free.

I too took the risk and decided to purchase the headlamps because of the low pricing they are offering. Just to let you know, one of my stock which I tested to be faulty prior for shipment and I couldn't sell it at a profit and I couldn't return it to my supplier. I bare that lost. It's just the risk you have to take when purchasing such products which is not covered with warranty. End up I sell it way below cost just to clear it. Currently I am also using the same headlamps as well... it is still working fine though.

It is just like buying a flouresent lamp at the supermarket. They test it there, it worked and you purchase it back home. Once at home you install it and after 3 days the lamp failed to work anymore. If the lamp you purchased didn't come with a warranty, I am afraid you will just need to buy another lamp. It is unfair to say that I didn't help because I did respond to your enquiries.

Added on November 21, 2008, 1:34 pmSpeaking of this, now I recall it too... you are smart enough because you contacted me before you made any payments.
As for your doubts, I have explained it in previous posts. Read it carefully and you will get the picture why I asked him to wait...

Kelvin,

Thank you for a better edited title. I appreciate that.

TS PRONTON ENTERPRISE, I believe has been using several means of communications including pretending and hacking into reputable seller's account email, msn or skype or which ever possible channels of communications. Not just myself. I have studied the Sept Con Case related to TS PRONTON and it has nothing to do with me.. just that the name Raymond is the same as mine. Raymond is just too common english name. Phone & Email is entirely different from mine. Maybe it's just my bad luck. Believe me Kelvin, this scammer is not just using my name... dig deeper and you'll find out eventually. Don't let your desperation in getting back your money blind you from facts. Creating a tunnel vision on me alone will not get back your money. The key now is to find and gather facts and proof to nail the real scammer. I am still working on it.

FigureManiac,
Thank you for accepting my apologies.
