Exclamation Notice Board of RC PEST "Beware"

Hi Everyone,

Beware of Con Man

This message is specially posted to you asking you to BEWARE!

Beware of con man! This con man is actively moving around in Hobby Shops, Singapore RC Tracks, and possible "Beside YOU".

This guy would identify himself as a Police Task Force (PTF) and he will try selling handphones to you at a very cheap price. He will ask you to deposit a certain amount into his friend's account or alternatively if you do not have the money, you can trade with him with your most favourite car(s), and that is the end of your money and car(s).

If you are one of the Victim or suspect to be his victim report to the police immediately!

Cheers

Re: BEWARE!
Yeah, his name is Barry I heard. A small but well built guy.

Police ID card can be fake, and this guy is surely a fake. So if you meet him, report to the police and have him arrested.

This is no joke, many ppl have met him and my own friends have been conned.

err... so you're telling me this guy can actually Talk you into sending him $$$ or letting him walk away with your car etc etc... >> WITHOUT << even giving you the handphone first?!?

Jeez... he's GOOD!


C'mon, won't the 'buyer' even think to want to fully check out the phone first, make sure it works (be 100% sure it hasn't been swimming in the toilet before), check its not SIM locked, see if battery life is still good, maybe even make a test call...?

Just a thought!!!

Default just be careful...

Well...just to be on the cautious side....
I think his contact is as follows

hp: 97409403
email:[email protected]

I am not saying that this is definitely the barry mentioned here but he fits the description given here by brothers here. Not to
condemn him coz I have not been cheated by him, thus have no
proof. But just for anyone here who has made contact with this
telephone number or email to be more careful than usual when dealing with him.

Nothing wrong to be a little more careful right?

Default Good deals

Humans are suckers for good deals. Good deals are only offered by your close ones, not from somebody you hardly know.

Just like the special offers the shops always says, which are of course rarely real price reductions.

IE. Robinson is famous for Men's business wear. There are cheap $20 shirt, ppl grabbed them. Then realized the material is indeed $20 class. Wash it once and it get all crumped and impossible to be ironed straight. No such thing as $20 price get $60 quality. wait long long....
