To all internet-buyers : Beware !!!! ( Kindly copy/forward to all your friends ! )


Recently there is a "internet con-man" who keeps watch over his potential 'victims' normally buyers and pretends to be the seller, then he instructs the buyer to bank-in into his account / or money order/ wang pos express before the "actual seller" even responded. They will get your number and know your transaction history and sms you many times as possible....


The internet con-man features :
1) He always uses digi number ( they are cheap and readily disposable )
2) He always contact his seller very fast, usually not more than an hour auction ends.
3) He always urges buyers to bank-in into his account fast with excuses like I'm not free to send tomorrow, on holiday. Or using wang pos express.
4) He even offered to sell on discounts if he can get payment fast
5) He also looks for those in the classifieds and wanted listings pretending to be seller offering them the goods they want for a cheap cheap price


His victims normally are :
1) Busy people
2) People who failed to access or contact the real user in time
3) People who believe that those who have registered Bank account,name, IC and register company will not be at fraud.
4) People whose contact number and transaction history are exposed to them..
5) People who urgently needs the goods, also at cheap value..

Below is an example of internet con-man's "payment method" :


----------------------------------------------------------

PAYMENT INSTRUCTION :-


I prefer to be pay by Kiriman Wang Express available in post office,as the bank located quite far from my place (half-hour driving)..When you arrived at post office,tell the staff you want to send 'Kiriman Wang EXPRESS' (make sure it's EXPRESS,otherwise i can't receive it)..Firstly,fill-in the amount on top & tick the 'KW Express' box on the right..


PEJABAT PEMBAYAR : Mantin
NAMA PENERIMA : Tentco (M) Sdn Bhd
ALAMAT : 176B,Jalan Besar,71700 Mantin,Negeri Sembilan.
After done,it's important for you to sms me the 'No. Siri Kiriman Wang' start by 12/.. to confirm your payment.TQ! *don't forget to sms me your name & address for delivery purpose.

---------------------------------------------------------------

After you bank in the money, he will gives you post laju or UPS serial number , but later, no matter how you check the number are correct or not, the goods will never send to you !

The suspect :
Nick Name : Alex, a college student from Seremban
Age/ race : 23, Chinese
I/C No. : 800726-01-5689
Looks : young, tall and skinny
Mobile : 016-2542766 (Closed)

This messages is vital especially for newbies not old timers like you nemesics, they are more prone to con cases like this. If this is not posted for them to notice our lelong forum might soon be flooding with victims complaining all over lelong forum, wouldn't that be worse ?

Many peopl still unaware of this type of con-tactics.. Its important to help those to be aware before its too late.. Just imagine how many people gives the money to them for nothing? It is the same like the "cepat kaya scheme" stories...... :confused:

We need to convey this message to as many people as possible... :o

Beware of this man also, ranggaisme, he is a damn real cheater from indonesia, a man like this needed to be killed. Everyone needed to be careful about this man, he usually searching for victims in "Wanted" posting, he will pretending as a seller and email you offer you his item but after you paid, he'll never send you the item while telling sort of "stupid" story fulling you around. Take note on this matter! Hopefully admin can help to close his account, anyone know how to report to admin?

不是很明白为什么你们甘容易被人骗。没见过人,又不认识对方,却那么大方把你们
辛苦赚来的钱寄给老千,很奇怪你们甘容易相信陌生人。被人骗了后在Forum谈如何
抓老千如何打断他的腿,拜托,老千早就跑掉罗那里会待在那等你来抓?用一用脑
好吗?别误会,我不是落井下石,我也很同情你们,但不是很明白为何你们那么容
易被人骗。是你们还年轻社会经验不足,还是你们天生单纯善良,不知道这世上有
老千这种人存在。可悲!
