lakaik 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) Scary Feel sad also. I do not pay anyone in cash. I am using sub-contractors for all my renovation works so i need to be more careful in this. I didn't pay them until they finish all their job. Only the tiler i pay him from time to time cause he need to buy some materials.

snowie 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Oh dear... Hmm.. Makes me feel My ID quite honest. When he found out we are paying him cash, he will want us to meet up at his company so he can pass the cash to the accountant and print us the invoice. He always prefer us to pay him in cheque (or buy cashier's order from bank). Good luck on your reno and may the bad guy go into jail soon. BTW, the police is unable to track that guy thru the sister?? hmmm.... Edited December 18, 2008 by snowie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ahwee 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2008 well since i cannot make a new post, so also put here Guess a lot ppl would know HIM by now. He suppose to return part f the money to me by 12 Dec 2008 but he had been remain uncontactable since 09 Dec 2008. Guess he either off his mobile phone or cancel it already. His company had already submit a police report on him. The address on his NRIC is belong to his sister which he did not stay there anymore. Anyone know wher is stay or his contact if possible do inform the police or his ex-company(65631311). He also mentioned that he already moved to another ID company, so do beware before you signed the contract. Hock, For your case, probably will classify that as a breach of contract, which is civil in nature. Even if the police classify as a criminal breach of trust case, you still need to seek your own redress for the monetary part. I dont think that bugger will return you the money. Pls consider your options fast, small claim tribunal or seeking legal advice. By the way, any receipts or proof of you making those payments to him? Hope you can resolve this matter soonest.

ahockz 1 Report post Posted December 22, 2008 i thought to be nice to him to remove his pix since he passed mi his atm card and said that someone will transfer the money into that acct and i can transfer the money back to my acct. Guess it wrong to be so KIND. he become MIA again. we look for our MP b4, his lawyer advice, best option is police. however is should not be a case of breach of contract but a cheating case, as part of the money is suppose to be deposit to the company. ahwee, can ask u about the small claim tribunal? i pm u later the detail.

Hi Hock, as i said, even if the police classify it as a criminal case, and the culprit is eventually duly punished under the law, you still have to get your own lawyer to initiate proceedings to try get your money back. A lawyer will be able to advise you on the options on hand and how best to proceed with your case. No harm spending a bit to get professional opinion. Its not a good idea at all to hold onto his ATM card. If anyone will transfer money to his account, he will be more anxious than you than to hand over the atm card to you, with all that money inside. Please try to return back to him or his family or to the police etc etc.....this is to prevent any malicious allegations from him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If possible, ALL people please delete all the unrelated post as well and create a new one. Maybe the moderator should moderate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevetang 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2008 Feel so unfair to you, must go all the way to nail this type of cheater. MP, media, police, SCT and all possible way to end his cheating. If not more innocent ppl will fall for his trap again, as there are always such sweet talker that sweet talk out to get their means. Hope you can get back some$$ as from the way its look slim chances. Still wishes you all the best for the renovation, despite all this un-fortunate incident.
