I guess he had de-registered his account immediately.

He replied me frm Email and added me in MSN. We had a chat:

me: I like to do cash & carry
him: I dun cash & carry but u can pay an upfront, the rest after u get the item
me: then which part of m'sia do u stay, i ask my m'sian friend collect frm u
him: i do not do face to face deals that is why we ship out
me: i'll drop the idea then
him: why?
me: cuz i dun trust

immediately i said tis, he 'appear offline' le.

Moderator: do u hv the ability to track his IP address although he has deregistered. Could u spread tis news to others too? I dun wan to see ppl get con frm tis if he's a real conman.

Member can't deregister him/herself, it only can be done by Mods or Admin, so don't worry, Mods or Admin already alert about this.

you can use the small red triangle icon to report bad post or suspicious post, will get faster attention from Mods or Admin than starting a thread.

he has already been de-registered.

CS guidelines has always been buyer beware. if the deal is too good to be true, then it probably is.... if there are suspicions of fraud, just use the bad post reporting function to highlight to us (the red triangle on the top right corner).

They are THE MODS for a reason
Anyways, I also got an offer from some guy in Malaysia who claimed that he lived in some remote are in Penang so he could not do a face to face deal. The prices were not that far off but were still too good to be true.

Actually there is tonnes of these advertisement in Hardwarezone as well. D700 at half price etc. So guys beware.
