Title: Scammer Alerted
Post by: ck77 on October 21, 2016, 08:56:14 AM
Opening this thread for alerting any scamming watch trade.

From Paneristi forum,

Hate to be the bearer of bad news especially for myself.
I was in discussions for a timepiece with Anton' at Gloria Fine Watches in Indonesia. I did all my reference checks and he was totally trustworthy etc
After the second email the genuine sellers email [email protected] was hacked and on the side of this email was a "tick" and a very similar email [email protected] that managed to divert all the email traffic to and from Anton and myself to the scammer. The scam email was hidden and if you have eye trouble like myself it is an easy trap to fall into.
All the important banking details and contact info from the genuine Anton were kept from me and replaced with the bogus accounts. The M£ucker kept me entertained with fake pictures and really impressive watch knowledge.
I sent funds $11550 to Bank of America in Phoenix to "James Williamson" account
Routing 122101706
Acct 457030805637
Swift BOFAUS3N
Address 4605 East Chandler Blvd
Phoenix AZ 85048
USA
I have reported this fraud to my bank but they have told me already that the funds have been cleaned out. Banks do not offer debit card customers any protection whatsoever even with the name of the scammer on the account. Everyone knows you need to declare social security card, passport, photo ID etc to open bank account!!! Does this apply in the US? Im sure? Where are our RIGHTS to prosecute these bas£ards????????? Do we have to rely on the authorities completely???
I have reported the scam to the FBI, Police over here in UK (actionfraud),Financial Ombudsman. Financial Commission and Yahoo moderator as well gmail. IP address in sunnyvale CA
I lost £9000 and im mad and i will make this my project in life to track the worthless piece of 'sh&t' down.
Just wanted to warn anyone out there to double check the emails and do not fall into the trap i fell into
Thanks for listening anyway and take care out there.
Regards Clive R Joel in UK

When it comes to online ads, always buy-the-seller. There are too many scammers out there, sometimes just beyond our imagination. One word of advice, if it is too good to be true, then don't take the risk. :thumbsup:

About 10 years ago saw one ad for sale in mudah for a land rover with much lower price. Contacted the seller. The seller politely said she drove the car to Vietnam for humantarian purpose and later decide to settle down there with the family and sell the car. If I want the car I need to pay for the carriage to bring back the car without seeing the car.

So i did not bite.

After several months she put up again now different car and different location, same story same contact.

I warned her but then dunno what happened later. I believe some used cars dealers got cheater.

They prey on human weakness, greed and ignorant.

Lots of such fellas on Mudah, that's why I go with the buy-the-seller principle. I have also flipped some 60+ watches, so I have had seen some of these scammers too. Most of the time, they would go with the :

1) Overseas or outstation purchase and funds already transferred (with some kind of receipt), and need you to send over immediately due to (insert whatsoever reason here). Counter : Unless I am comfortable with the buyer (check out references, etc), I would wait until the funds clear before courier.

2) Offer was so good that seller wants you to pay a deposit or in full, prior to checking out the watch. Counter : Ask for the current time and date pictures of said watch. Normally, they would back off when you require so as they would only have a couple of pictures lifted off the Net.

3) Good price but only has watch, no box or papers. Counter : Ask to deal at the authorised SC for verification purposes at my own cost. They would back off if they have a fake on hand. Certain brands are easier to tell- for instance, Rolex and Omega would be pretty evident once the caseback was off, and there has not been a fake Ball with the real Ball-renown tritium tubes.

Wherever possible, I would prefer to deal by COD within KL area, or at my housing estate if it involves anything more than RM10k. The way I reason, my place was well-known for its security and the buyer/seller would have to register first at the guard house (so I could retrieve any such details if something went wrong) and the other party also know my address so they could see that I am a genuine party.

As for this Ram chap, he has been operating under various guises but same phone no. and used to sell Seiko watches on the cheap (you could expect no delivery after payment) before moving up to Rolex recently. Quite a known party if you go through the Seiko forum, but there are still people who would get conned by him.

Mudah can't afford to check through all the adverts to ensure the authenticity, although they could attempt to do so. I lost count of how many times pictures of watches in my blog were used by other sellers (genuine or otherwise) in their adverts. Tried reporting but it would just be re-inserted again. Then I started putting watermark on my pictures and I saw such action being stopped to a certain extent. Apparently, Mudah does not allow pictures with watermark to be featured in the adverts.

actually mudah can, just that they dont bother unless the complaint is from an official source such as microsoft reporting pirated software...this is as told to me from someone working in mudah.
as u say if they actually do not allow pics with watermarks, that would imply they actually take the time to check listings.

Post by: D'Andy on September 20, 2017, 08:27:21 AM
I think that it was more like after I inserted the watermark (of my blog page), the scammers find that it was too evident so they would just pick an easier picture off the net. After all, there're loads out there.

Post by: thickface on September 20, 2017, 08:31:40 AM
Sometimes I dont understand how mudah works. Got once, I posted a very old kancil for sale since my mum doesn't need it anymore. Then, mudah reported my post as too cheap. Yea maybe it's dirt cheap and much cheaper than other money sucking car agent since they jack up their prices. In the end, it got deleted.

Luckily I found a lot of interested buyers in carl#ist and sold to the first relative buyer. Not sure if it's related but sometimes I think the management need to set a stricter rules and regulations.

Sellers can always post an item for sale as COD only. This would distract the ad checkers. When a potential buyer calls with interest, the seller will ask for a deposit to be bank-in before COD. He's not after 10,000 and he's happy with even 500.

Not only mudah, please be cautious when buying online.

My approach,
1. If its too good to be true, run!
2. Buy the seller
3. Always ask for more pictures, ensure he has the watch, i.e watch with today newspaper, set the time to 4.30 etc
4. COD
5. Only transact online if you willing to lose

I have some successes from mudah and buying online in general. I always ask alot of questions on the watch and in watch collecting in general, such as watch calibre, time keeping, general automatic watch and brand knowledge etc. What I'm always looking for a seller whom is also a watch collector or a watch enthusiast. I wouldn't buy from someone who knows nothing about what he or she is selling. I guess that would filter out some scammers or sellers of stolen goods etc.

Yes, if you don't receive your item within 10 days, you just need to email CS to hold the payment till such time you receive your purchase. It also has the courier company parcel tracking information updates, so both parties cannot lie too.

Whoever the seller is, you knew that’s something wrong with that price offered.

Buyer beware:

My friend was looking for an Omega Speedmaster The Legend Collection and we found a seller at Mudah.my

https://www.mudah.my/Omega+Speedmaster+Schumacher+LE-62121919.htm

(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180111/a150c33df0548de5bc9486b2dee6cf17.jpg)

The funny thing is even though it claimed to have a store in KK, there are no contact details (address nor phone). So we contacted it thru mudah asking for address and more details of the watch.

The seller then gave the address of a Hypermarket in Lahad Datu. I asked my associate near the area to check out the shop, which he could not find. Then my friend asked the seller to send a pick of the watch at a nine o'clock position.

And this is the watch at nine o'clock position. What a dumb con-man.  :HammerHead: :Laughing_on_floor:

Hi Guys. Just posting some information. Me and a group of his victims are currently working together to try and find this individual. From our investigation so far, we've managed to discover that this is actually a syndicate headed by an individual named Raman A/L Nadasan. He has 2 known associates namely Ravi Chandran a/l Supraminiam, and Ravisandaran Govindan.

The details are as follows :-

Raman a/l Nadasan
631226-02-5819
No 148, Lorong 1 Jln Tun Abd Razak Johor Bahru.

Ravi Chandaran a/l Supramaniam
730801-07-5585
12P, Lorong bilibis 17, Taman bilibis Simpang Ampat, Pulau Pinang

For Ravidaran, his details are irrelevant as this particular individual will only lead us to a dead end. Progress can only be made through these two names headed by Raman a/l Nadasan. If you wish to join us in exposing and finding these individuals and get your money back,  reply this thread and i will put you into our group along with the others. We're making quick progress. I will also share the pictures of these individuals soon for recognition.

Mudah just can't scan through all the ads thoroughly. I guess everyone here can put in some tiny effort to prevent scammer from scamming people.

Beware guys! Same con men from GTK Stores are back disguising as "Unique Watches". Now they claimed to have a store in Kuching. The phone number is unreachable and the WhatsApp avatar is the same with the WhatsApp avatar of the people reported by downsouth.

Title: Plenty of Scammers in the Net
Post by: dcssb on November 08, 2018, 03:16:25 PM
I have found that there are many scammers in the Internet, especially in websites like Carousell.  The scammers in Carousell will tell you that they are interested to buy your products, but always ask to communicate using Whatsapp with a number starting with "011".  In the first time I was scammed, and communicated using Whatsapp, I was "threatened" to pay money to a bank account.  I reported that person to Carousell, but later found that Carousell account does not exist there anymore.  I also lodged a report to that Telco & Whatsapp.

If you decide to post any item/product for sale in Mudah, Carousell, Ebay, etc. suggest to not communicate using Whatsapp or to give your mobile number (if can avoid to do so), which you may get some phone calls or voicemails or SMS after that, saying that you may be charged with "corruption" from so-called "Police Dept." or "BNM", etc.

I am bringing this up here as a topic, in case you may get people who may be scammers to get money from you.  :(

Hi there, I would like to add to my experience. Still have not figured what they are doing, so anybody here who has knowledge please enlighten.

I run a natural product company with my wife and we have a Squarespace website with online store. Recently we received several emails from Europe, mainly Switzerland, Finland and Norway, through the online form on our site. The emails are inquiries about buying our products.

The first on, from Switzerland, asked whether we accpet credit card, I said yes as Squarespace accepts all credit, debit and paypal payments. I answered taht we do and if they have any problems using the online store do contact us. After that no order, no more inquiries.

The second one is from Norway and asked the same question AND then asked what credit card merchant we were using. I answered that Squarespace takes care of our payments and I do not know who they use, then added Squarespace's custoer service email and suggest she ask them. Yes all three emails are female with gmail and English sounding names.

The third one, all these mails came within a four day period, is from Finlabd with another gmail account and English female name. This time they said that they would like to arrange for a larger order and would like alternative payment and not Squarespace. She asked for a quotation and gave me a an address.

I thought about it and decided to play along, who knows, it may be a genuine buyer. I sent the quotation and at the same time checked the address on Google Maps. The location was a place in the middle of no where. Like the nearest city is 250 km away. Alarm bells started to ring!

Two days later Finland lady replied wanted to increase the order quantity, asked for a new quotation and gave instructions for me to contact, via email, her shipping company to arrange for payment and shipping. The email was from the domain @fastservice.com and when I checked, it came up as a phishing / scam email address.

I replied to lady about her location and the scam email and said that I would like to terminate contact and until now, one week later, no more emails from her.

So what is the deal here? Are they trying to phish for my details by sending an email to whatever@fastservice .com or is it a more elaborate scam?

ANyway, just sharing. Thanks

Yes, there are alot of scammers in Mudah... I did a few adverts there, and so many of the scammers send me messages to chat with them in whatsapp...  I asked them for details, and almost all of them either provide rubbish answers or no answers at all.

Does anybody frequently come across watch scammers on the Internet? Especially Carousell.

If you're selling watches, they'll seal the deal almost instantly without negotiating, try to get your email, and pretend to ask for around RM1k 'for the payment to be successful'. Lol

If you're buying watches, I notice some well-below-market-price hot models listed by scammers. The one I encountered tried to sell a fake Rolex Submariner 116610LN for RM30.8k on Carousell lol. When I ask her to Video Call just to see the watch, she said 'Sorry I am married woman, cannot video call'. Then I asked her to send a picture of the watch turned to a specific time, she sent me a picture another watch instead, alamak..

Just be careful.  😆

So long as there are people out there looking for a good deal, there will be scammers offering them.

Of course there is that rare opportunity someone hits a good deal but that is few and far between and the buyer would be a very well-seasoned professional
