The “buyer” message again on time 15:44 as follows:-

“So confirm again is 1 N8 ori silver colour. 1 AP black X10 and 1 ori black X10 ya.. Got free gift also right?”

etc……

Finally agreed to meet at Times Square Starbuck Coffee House, time 19:30 26th Jan. We sent our despatch boy, carried the three mobiles, to meet the “buyer” who happened to be a young lady aged around 25, race Chinese, and short.

We thought the transaction was done successfully. However, on 28th Jan, we received a call from Mr Tang. He called from Malacca asking ” Is this Fantastic Communications?”……..

“Did you receive a bank in amount of RM1020 yesterday afternoon?”… of course I confirmed “yes”.

Mr Tang further asked ” Who is the buyer, what is the name?”

We replied “A lady buyer, named Jill”

Mr Tang asked again” Her name is not Kelly / Chan?”

We answered ” No”

Mr Tang said ” I must be cheated”

Mr Tang informed that the lady claimed herself to be an owner of Fantastic Communications, operating at another website / forum. The website is “http://1stopcomm.webs.com/ratespricing.htm” She offered extremely low prices for all range of mobiles. The lady said that she was in Sabah. Therefore requested all buyers to make full payments for the purchases, including postages. A police report would be lodged, according to Mr Tang, at the end of the conversation.

After this communication, we concluded that the short lady is a con lady.

For information, the three mobiles taken by the “lady” are as follows:-

1) Nokia N8 Silver Ori set IMEI 355944047500921

2) Sony Ericsson Vivaz Pro Black Ori set IMEI 012305005135537

3) Sony Ericsson X10i black Ori set IMEI 012590001053970

From this incident, we can see the tactic employed by the con lady as such:-

Convincing and persuading prospective buyers to make full payment into a third party bank account. In this case the bank account of Fantastic Communications.  Afterwhich, she dealt directly with Fantastic Communications. At the end she succeeded in claiming the goods from Fantastic Communications.

The whole transaction is done via SMS without vocal contact. This is already not right and normal.

We feel so sorry for the four innocent buyers, who deposited their monies, which, in total, is only enough for buying only three mobiles.

Here, we would like to appeal to all buyers and prospective buyers of Fantastic Communications to contact the company directly. Our contact numbers can be obtained easily from our website.

We cannot stop people from cheating online, however, we would like to discourage and comment that this action is very sinful. In this case, people is losing their hard earned money. One cheats someone and at the end he or she will be cheated one day. That is so sure.
