Beware of scams when using alibaba.com
Top 10 things you should know when using alibaba. The list is in a random order.
dont buy electronics from alibaba
The $300 Nokia E90 they are selling is a cheap knock off. And the $20 ipod they are selling is nothing more than a cheap mp3 player. In most countries the consignment will not even pass the custom clearing due to copy right infringement laws. Not only you will lose your money, but there is a high chance of you have to spend few years proving your innocence in courts.
Never use western union to send money to alibaba suppliers
Most of the alibaba suppliers will ask you to send money through western union. What ever the reason they give, you never do that. Once you send money through western union you have no control over it. It is very easy to scam people using western union. Early days I have been a victim of a $2000 fraud through western union. I do not want you to lose your hard earned money. When you see western union as the only payment method listed, do your self a favor and run away from that supplier.
Never fall in to fake sample images from alibaba sellers.
alibaba stocks photo
The scam sellers in alibaba will send you images of stock to prove that they have the goods in hand.
For example if you are looking to buy a nokia N95 they will send you images of 100’s of Finland made Nokia N95’s.
But I have experienced,same images are circulated through dozen different suppliers. Either they all are a part of one scam ring or they all have obtained the image from the same source.
alibaba fake phones
When you ask for a sample image always ask to write your name in a piece a paper and take the snaps with it. Just like I have done here.
The image with my partner’s name on it is a fake N95.
The sample images can reveal you a big story. but Don’t trust the supplier just from looking at the sample image. He may have few quality collections of stocks. But that does not mean he will send it your way.
Do not trust the EMS tracking number from alibaba sellers.
Most of the suppliers in alibaba tent to do shipments through EMS. They will send you a tracking number saying that they have done their part of the deal. It is very easy to create a fake EMS tracking number. So be alert until you receive the goods to your hand.
Never send money to a personal bank account to an alibaba seller.
Most of the sellers will ask you to send money to their “Bank of china accounts”. When they send you the bank details look for the bank name. If it is a personnel name avoid sending a cent. If they are a established entity they must be using a business account and should use them in their business transactions. If this is not the case you might be sending money to a Chinese who is scanning you in his pygamas.
If the price of a alibaba seller seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true.
Be rational when making a decision. There is no way that a supplier can offer you a $700 worth product at $200. You will be surprised how many suppliers have these types of prices. True, alibaba is a very good place to find products at filthy cheap prices. But their products do not come out of magic. So do your due diligence when the supplier sends you the quotation.
Don’t fall for samples sent by alibaba sellers
The supplier may have sent you a real sample. (Paid / Free). That does not mean you can trust him with a $10,000 deal. There are suppliers who send you real samples for quality products. But when you place the big order you will either get scammed or will receive a big consignment of crap. So if the supplier cannot meat other credentials, do not trust him just because he sent you a sample.
alibaba scam companies
Scammers know most people are intelligent enough to do a Google search about the company before doing any transaction with them. So some scammers use reputed company names to scam you. Most of mid level and small scale buyers do not go beyond the level of online contacts when making correspondence. Once we search about their company we will see only good things about them. That’s why we must always send money to business accounts. If the account name is different from the company name they are pretending, Red flag; Run away.
visit the alibaba companies in china
Alibaba is not consisting of only Chinese suppliers. Even I do have an active supplier’s account with them. But most of the supplier’s and the most profitable one’s are from china. If your order level value is over $5000 try to visit the supplier at least once. There are cheap trips available to china if you are bit tight on your budget. Once you verify the supplier you do not have to make repetitive visits.
alibaba forum
Before selecting suppliers post your choice in the alibaba forum. There is a section dedicated to reveal scam and fraudulent suppliers. It is always better to do a double check in the forum before making that transaction. I have found many helpful members in the forum. One person eventually became one of my partners and we both together have pulled off so many deals in the past 2 years.
Can the scammers over weigh the importance of alibaba. Definetely NO. You cannot find a better market place if you are running a business. Unless you like selling/buying one item at a time on ebay. If you apply the knowledge you gather from this post and use your intelligence, You will be able to get the best out from alibaba b2b market place. If you are running a small online business I highly encourage you to start something off line too. You have a much better chance competing at your local area rather than competing against thousand of international marketers.

国际老千钻政府部门漏洞‧伪造马印密件诈财
国际老千钻政府部门漏洞‧伪造马印密件诈财
2010-07-16 10:28
（吉隆坡）梳邦再也与沙亚南消费人协会主席拿督贾谷佐治揭露，有人伪造及冒用大马和印度政府之间的机密文件，取得公众信任及涉嫌多宗大型国际诈骗案。
他周四（7月15日）呈交备忘录予国阵后后座议员理事会署理主席拿督邦莫达后，要求调查政府部门之间的漏洞，也希望国阵后座议员理事会向印度政府查明，并取得答复。
贾谷佐治在备忘录中举例，一名自称为泰米尔纳德邦首席部长亲戚的大马人，涉嫌在过去10年间透过芙蓉通往金马士的双轨电动火车计划和3G电信执照，向个人、承包商或公司索取逾500万令吉。
“我希望政府查出这名人士的真实身份，为何他能够自由穿梭政府部门，甚至取得政府机密文件和证书。”
邦莫达表示将尽力提供协助，以查出两国政府之间合作出现的问题，避免影响大马的声誉。

The dark truth about a sweet-talking Casanova
The dark truth about a sweet-talking Casanova
By ONG HAN SEAN
hansean@thestar.com.my
Tuesday July 13, 2010
KUALA LUMPUR: He is neither good looking nor young, but this sweet-talking Casanova has managed to cheat at least seven women of nearly RM400,000.
The 41-year-old Singaporean, known as Dennis Lim, has a habit of preying on women through the social networking website, ahmoi.com.
That’s him!: Chong and Qi Qi checking out a picture of Lim at the department chief’s office in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
One of his victims, Qi Qi, lost RM294,662 within the seven months of their “friendship.”
“I was not really attracted to him. He was really aggressive and he made the first move online,” said the 34-year-old businesswoman from Penang, who sought the help of MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong at his office yesterday.
She said Lim claimed to be a factory manager and knew how to take advantage of her weakness.
“He used sob stories to get my sympathy.
“For instance, he claimed his stepmother was admitted into ICU; that his ex-boss had delayed his business reimbursements and that he had met with a road accident before Chinese New Year.
“I felt sorry for him and wanted to help,” she said, adding that she allowed Lim to use her credit cards when he visited her in Penang in October last year.
Qi Qi started getting suspicious in March and lodged two police reports in Penang and another two in Singapore.
She later traced Lim’s caller history from a sub-line she started for him, and found six other women in Malaysia whom Lim had cheated for money and sex.
“His modus operandi is to get acquainted with lonely, single women online and then slowly work his way into their pockets with his sob stories,” Qi Qi said, adding that the victims had refused to make police reports against Lim.
Chong urged the other victims to come forward so that he could assist them.
“I will take this case to the Malaysian Interpol and relevant authorities,” he said.
He also reminded women to be wary of meeting strangers online.

Beware the online con

PETALING JAYA: It is important for women to check the background of a person they meet over Internet social networking websites to avoid being cheated.
“You need to check the background of the person to know whether the person is genuine or just a sweet talker. Whatever is posted by the man should be vetted thoroughly like calling up a company to see if he really works there,” said Wanita MCA Cupid Space project executor Peggy Lim (pic).
She also cautioned women not to rush into making a commitment.
“You need at least eight months to know a person. There is no need to rush into things,” she added.
“Feelings are a huge emotional trigger and for a woman, it is important to control these feelings when the courtship has only been going on for a short while.”
She said that among the reasons that women were scammed by online Casanovas was due to loneliness and desperation as they were afraid they would not be able to find a companion and accepted “any man who fancies them”
“The essential tools to sustain a relationship are patience and to earn the trust needed,” she said.
In June, a 47-year-old housewife said that she lost her savings and money she borrowed from her family and friends totalling RM1.2mil to a con man that she befriended on the Internet.
The man had claimed to be a Briton.
Meanwhile, MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong said he received complaints from 18 women on cheating scams with losses amounting to more than RM2.4mil since 2007.
He urged women to be wary of such con men.
Chong said the complaints that he received had a similar modus operandi – the men would get to know the women via Internet and send them expensive gifts before demanding for money.
Chong added that most of the victims were single mothers, divorcees and unmarried women.
“The con men also introduced themselves as businessmen, sons of senior politicians and professionals like engineers,” he said.
Chong said he believed the men involved in the scam were foreigners although some may have had the help of locals.

国外刷假卡名牌半价卖 破不法集团捕11人
国外刷假卡名牌半价卖
破不法集团捕11人
更新: July 9, 2010 18:19
（莎阿南9日讯）警方侦破一个假卡集团，逮捕11名以假信用卡到外国刷卡购名牌带回国，再以半价出售牟利的华裔男女。
假卡集团成员是在国内制造几可乱真的信用卡，写上本身姓名，但都是盗用外国人士资料，轻易瞒天过海。他们在持有这些假卡后，都是到外国购买名牌货品，带回大马以不到一半原价贱卖，做无本生意。
警方是在3项行动中先后逮捕11名男女，包括一名疑是集团首脑，并起获84张多数外资银行的假信用卡，宣布侦破不法集团的活动。
不过，警方相信还在幕后操纵的党羽正在潜逃，刻在全力追查他们下落。
雪州商业罪案调查组主任张婉萍助理总监今日说，警方于上月19日在吉隆坡国际机场出境处，逮捕一名华裔男子，男子当时准备搭机到土耳其伊斯坦布尔，警方从他身上起获13张伪造信用卡。
盗用外籍人士资料
警方较后趁胜追击，4天后再率队突击莎阿南31区一间公寓单位，逮捕5名华裔男子，其中一名嫌犯相信是假卡集团的首脑。
“初步调查，该公寓是假卡集团租借的单位，警方在屋内仅起获5张假卡，未有其他发现，如制作假卡原料或机械等物品。”
张婉萍在总部召开记者会，公布破案详情。
她指出，警方昨早6时再展开另一轮逮捕行动，到吉隆坡国际机场埋伏，成功伏击到5名刚从伊斯坦布尔疯狂盗刷后，带着大批国际知名物品返国的华裔男女，包括一对夫妇。
她说，警方当场从5名嫌犯身上起获66张假卡，初步调查，这些假卡都是在本地制造，写上嫌犯的名字，不过都是盗用外籍人士的资料。
66 假卡豪刷10万名牌货
5名被捕男女，带着66张假卡到土耳其盗刷10万令吉，选购物品都是国际知名品牌的手表、衣裤、鞋子和包包，尽显豪气！
初步调查，假卡集团成员活跃3个月，每次到外国大肆盗刷后，带着大批名牌物品返回大马，以超低价格出售，从中牟利。
据悉，被嫌犯贱卖的品牌货物包括劳力士手表，原本一枚价值1万令吉的手表，当他们成功带出境后，仅以不到5000令吉价格出售。
警方查悉，被捕的11名嫌犯，数人拥有犯罪前科，已被延扣，目前是在刑事法典420欺骗条文下受调查。

高薪招聘逾10人上当

（新山9日讯）新加坡船厂招聘骗局！负责人借“填表格”为由，收取100新元（马币约240令吉）后，突告失踪，逾十名青年苦等不到面试，惊觉受骗。
疑诈骗集团刊登“新加坡某大型船厂聘请技术员”的广告内容，指称薪金可达3500至5000新元（约8400令吉至1万2000令吉）、包吃包住，还有公司津贴及优厚福利等为饵，诱使入世未深的年轻应征者上当。
有一批青年因被高薪所吸引，不约而同缴付一笔100新元的申请费后，发现有关负责人竟闹失踪。
其中一名青年郑氏（20岁，铁厂员工）向《中国报》阐述，他于6月25日（周五）看到报章的分类广告，深受吸引，立即致电联络有关负责人。
据悉，有关负责人“Ivy”自称在新加坡事务繁忙，无法亲自过来处理及收取“表格费”，故让友人代劳。
“对方要求我在26日到士姑来五福城一家广场的快餐店见面，同时需缴交100新元的'表格费'，才能作出申请，可是，当天来的却是一名自称是'Ivy '朋友的年轻男子。”
担心身分被盗用
郑氏不疑有他，付费填写表格后，再被安排于7月5日在士姑来某油站集合，以便前往新加坡应征，讵料当天苦等3小时，不见有人现身接载。
“当时，我等了很久，之后发现还有约6位年龄介于20至30岁左右的青年也在油站待了很久，于是趋前与他们打招呼，才恍然大悟，大家都中同一名老千的计。”
郑氏除了揭发诈骗集团的行径，也担心所呈交的证据如身分证影印本、护照影印本及其他文凭会遭盗用。

“Ivy”由始至终未现身，身分令人起疑。
一名受骗者陈朋丰（21岁，自动化工业员工）受访时透露，在填写表格时，他已心起怀疑，因表格上只是印有公司名字，没附上地址和联络电话，与一般的求职表格不同。
他说，当时，马上致电“Ivy”，询问为何没有公司的详情，岂料对方“专业”解答他的疑惑，甚至指可查询另一家在吉隆坡运作的分行，指该船厂是属“大公司”。
“当时我也没想太多，相信了对方的话。”
另外，本报多次尝试联络有关船厂负责人，不过接通的电话一再被挂断，无法求证详情。

女经纪被骗82万
更新: July 9, 2010 18:19
（新加坡9日讯）狮城已婚男被指在大马一脚踏三船，女经纪以为遇到如意郎君，被骗走12万元（28万令吉）。
34岁的女保险经纪从槟城拨《晚报》热线投诉，她在社交网站认识41岁的狮城经理，对方还飞到槟城找她。
两人相处一个星期成为情侣，她借信用卡给他添油后没索回，又帮他登记手机号码。谁知男友离开槟城后，在新加坡和吉隆坡等地拼命刷卡消费，前后刷掉30万令吉。
女经纪说，男友过后以继母生病、叔叔过世等理由，声称手头紧无法还她钱，甜言蜜语哄骗她。
可是，每月超过1000令吉的手机费和频频出现的陌生号码令她生疑。经追查后，发现男友在吉隆坡有两个女友。

女经纪说，她根据手机账单上的号码，联络上男友在吉隆坡的两名女友，才知道男子很好赌，常常上云顶赌场。
“她们说，他一次可以输掉1万多令吉！”
她说从不知男友好赌，虽然男友长得不好看，但表现得很谦卑、有耐性，因此在短短一个星期就被他打动。

Couple who tricked banks with fraudulent withdrawals arrested

Couple who tricked banks with fraudulent withdrawals arrested
By M. KUMAR
kumar@thestar.com.my
KUALA LUMPUR: A young couple has been arrested for “tricking” banks. They would deposit fake money into a cash deposit machine (CDM) and withdraw real cash from an auto-teller machine (ATM).
Within a month, they had withdrawn up to RM23,000.
However, bank officials got wise to their game.
Police laid a trap for the couple after bank officials detected the trick at three of their branches in Johor Bahru.
The man and his wife were caught red-handed.
Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department deputy operations director Asst Comm Rohaimi Md Isa told a press conference yesterday the couple committed the crime almost daily and, at times, would withdraw up to RM1,000 a day.
In another case, police arrested 21 people — most of them Africans — for running “parcel scams.”
The police also seized 13 laptops, 16 mobile phones, several bundles of counterfeit US$100 bills, and RM42,979 in cash.
The scam involves a syndicate member approaching a prospective victim to say there is a parcel from overseas to be delivered to him or her.
The victim would then receive a call from another syndicate member, impersonating as a customs officer, who would ask for some cash to be sent to a bank before the item can be cleared by the Customs.
The syndicates’ victims were largely single women in their 40’s, who they befriended via the Internet.
ACP Rohaimi said that this was not a new scam as there were 591 cases — with reported losses of RM16mil — last year.
“This year, there have so far been 253 cases with RM4.7mil in losses,” he said.
ACP Rohaimi said a Malaysian woman was among those arrested. They are all in their 20s and 30s.
They were picked following a series of raids in the Klang Valley over the past two weeks.
“This syndicate is responsible for 83 parcel scams, with losses of up to RM500,000.”
ACP Rohaimi said some members of these syndicates were also involved in “black money” scams.

HONG KONG police busted an international online scam syndicate which has conned at least 160 people, including Malaysians, of some RM8.7mil, reported Nanyang Siang Pau.
Authorities nabbed 13 men, aged between 20 and 60 years, who were also involved in money laundering activities.
The syndicate, which has been operating for a year, is based in Hong Kong with several members still at large in China, Taiwan and South-East Asian countries.
Sin Chew Daily reported that police also seized 17 bank account books, 38 ATM cards, and HK$107,000 (RM45,000) during the two-day operation.
Investigations showed that the syndicate would first notify the victims in an e-mail that they had won a huge sum of money.
However, they would first have to deposit 1% of the winning prize money as processing fee in order to collect the sum, with one victim having paid up to RM1.25mil.

Cops bust SMS scam ring with arrest of 26
KUALA LUMPUR: A notorious SMS scam syndicate tricking victims into parting with their money by convincing them that they have won cash prizes has been busted with the arrest of 26 people.
Police believe the group, comprising a Malaysian and 25 foreigners, was responsible for swindling up to RM6.4mil between 2006 and April this year.
The syndicate members, including two women and the mastermind, were picked up last week in a raid at a house in Taman Jen Loong and a condominium unit in Kuhara Court, Tawau.
Federal Commercial Crimes Investigations Department (CCID) chief Datuk Koh Hong Sun said police were still tracking two more members of the group, who went by the names of Wak Agos and Acoh.
“This group is actually part of a SMS scam syndicate we busted last year in Tawau,” he told reporters at Bukit Perdana here yesterday.
He said police also seized four laptops, 73 handphones, 41 account logbooks, ATM and credit cards and RM6,000 during the raid.
“Each laptop is able to send out up to 1,000 SMSes a day,” he said.
Comm Koh said the syndicate would send out SMSes to victims, “informing” them that they had won cash prizes from major companies such as Petronas, Shell, Power Root and Maxis.
“Once the victims responded to the SMS, the syndicate would then tell them that they could only collect the cash prizes if they deposited a certain amount of money in a certain bank account,” he said.
He said police were also looking into the origin of the numerous bank accounts used by the syndicate, which were opened under Malaysian names.
Comm Koh said those detained, aged 16 to 41 years, were being investigated for cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code and Section 4(1) of the Computer Crimes Act 1997.

Cops start probe into RM1.2mil scam

Cops start probe into RM1.2mil scam
By RACHAEL KAM
rachael@thestar.com.my
PETALING JAYA: The federal commercial crime division in Bukit Perdana is investigating the case of a “British” man who cheated a housewife of RM1.2mil.
MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong said the division had collected all information pertaining to the complaint from him yesterday.
The information included a police report made by the housewife in Sabah, bank slips of deposits she had made into some local bank accounts and a copy of an anti-money laundering “certificate.”
Chong, who had highlighted the case at a press conference on Thursday, said police would be getting a detailed statement from the housewife.
“The conman is probably working with some locals,” he said yesterday.
The housewife, known only as Madam Lee, lodged a complaint with Chong last week that a man claiming to be a British offshore engineer named Jeff Brian Manik, whom she had befriended over the Internet last year, had cheated her of RM1.2mil.
She said a man claiming to be Manik’s agent told her Manik wanted to invest in property in Malaysia and needed her help to handle the transfer of £2.5mil (RM11.8mil) for the transaction.
She was given an anti-money laundering certificate purportedly issued by the the National Drug and Law Enforcement Agency of United Kingdom clearing the £2.5mil to be transferred to Lee from Britain.
Chong said the certificate was a ridiculous piece of document containing spelling/typographical mistakes.
These included the word enforcement being spelt as “enforement,” agency as “ageny,” British pound as “British paund” and expiry became “exptring.”
“I advise all, especially women, to be more alert and always be suspicious of someone who we befriend on the Internet and demands money or more than that,” said Chong.

Woman’s Facebook love scam exposed
AS many as 10 men were cheated of their love and money by a woman going by the name Sai Sailani in an Internet love scam, Harian Metro reported.
The newspaper interviews a victim known as Suresh, who related how he was cheated of RM1,600 after befriending Sai Sailani on the Facebook social networking site.
The 28-year-old was attracted to her profile picture and the two became Internet friends.
“She was good at sweet-talking and I fell head over heels after a few weeks of communication,” he said.
The victim allegedly transferred RM1,600 into the woman’s bank account after she told him of her pressing financial condition in supporting an ailing father.
“I really loved her and believed that she needed the money,” he added.
The woman’s ploy was exposed when another victim, Jaya, grew suspicious upon spotting an inconsistency in her Facebook identity and the bank account number that she had given to him.
Jaya, 32, said he confronted the woman at her office after doing some checking.
“I was shocked to discover that she did not look anything like the photos that she had posted on her Facebook page,” he said.
“She was fat and unattractive, a sharp contrast from her sexy profile photos.”
The victim lodged a report at the Dang Wangi police station.
> In another report, Berita Harian said a peeping Tom in Kuantan was fined RM100.
The father of five was reported to have peeped at a 25-year-old woman at Taman Jasmin here on June 21.
The man, Eddy Che Din, was brought to a magistrate’s court and pleaded guilty to the charge.
The 44-year-old told the court that it was his first time in committing such an offence and promised not to repeat it. Magistrate Nor Zaihan Mohamed Ali fined him RM100 or three weeks’ jail in default.

老千假冒警总部电话 女子被骗逾2万
老千假冒警总部电话 女子被骗逾2万
二零一零年七月三日 凌晨十二时五十九分
（怡保2日讯）老千使用网络科技VoIP，显示武吉阿曼总部电话03-22626222，拨电并恐吓事主在香港涉及洗黑钱活动，指示对方汇钱予指定户头以解决问题，1女子不幸被骗走2万2700令吉。
现身说法的当事人韩女士（45岁），来自怡保九洞，是名外资公司的职员。她是于5月 20日上午约10时，接获一名自称为武吉阿曼警察总部的“谢督察”电话，对方指有人利用她的资料，在香港某银行开来往户头，并涉嫌洗黑钱活动，或造成出国不便。
她表示，她过后按照这名“督察”的指示拨电给香港一名“黄姓”警官以了解情况。她说，对方能清楚说明她的名字、身份证号码及地址等等，而且更恐吓她能在国家银行中检查到她所持有的各银行户头和存款额，要她清楚交代所有户头存款。
韩女士担心对方所言属实，其所持的来往户头会被冻结6个月以示清白，因此就听从对方指示，先将钱汇入一个谎称是有法官鉴证的户头。她说，在5月21日下午，她分别从5间银行，共2万3000令吉汇入被指示的户头，惟当时的银行存款机拒收最后存入的300令吉，因此她总共被骗取2万2700令吉。
与“谢督察”电话联络
她说，从她到每间银行取款和到最后一间银行汇款，都受指示与“谢督察”电话联络，使得对方了解她的行踪。她表示，在电话里与她交谈的两人皆是头操华语。
她向记者投诉，她已于5月21日当晚到警察局报案，警方也曾告知她，能协助她通过国家银行申请取回有关被骗的汇款，而且查出有关汇入户头是在柔佛永平一活跃户头，惟当局至今仍未有破案进展。
当询及报章曾刊发类似的欺骗案时，这名女事主则表示她并没有留意到类似的新闻，再加上相信对方所言，所以才会上当。
太平区国会议员兼班台区州议员倪可敏促全国总警长丹斯里慕沙哈山，关注及加速处理此事，以挽回国家和皇家警队的形像。
他说，老千的骗术层出不穷，于今年3月份的星报曾刊登一则新闻，指槟州商业罪案调查主任罗斯里说，老千利用网络科技VoIP，让接电的手机随意显示特定号码，而制造32宗涉及总额7万5255令吉的骗案。
他是于周五在霹雳州行动党总部，陪同韩女士召开记者会时这么表示。
他也呼吁民众勿泄露银行户头资料于不相关人士，或因一时贪念将户头租借给他人，免得沦为国际洗黑钱集团新猎物。
此案涉及三宗罪
倪氏指出，此案涉及三宗罪，包括刑事法典第415条文（欺骗）、第 506条文（刑事恐吓之处罚）和第170条文（冒充公务员）。
他说，任何人如接获这类自称是法庭官员或警官的可疑电话，可寻求霹雳州行动党总部（05-253 1532）的协助。
出席这项记者会的包括端洛区州议员西华古玛及行动党党要。

（太平7日讯）两百万中字骗案，老千原来是菲律宾人。警方目前将他扣押4天，以便作深一层的盘问调查。至于商人被骗走的8万令吉，仍无下落。据知，该名老千在未抵太平行骗时，曾到柔佛州企图行骗，但并不成功，后来转到太平。
警方表示，老千告知他在吉隆坡秋杰律的某间酒店居住， 但警方调查后，老千并没有住在该处。
警方说，事主是在中奖后到有关多多博彩公司查询，才知本身并没中奖，而知上了老千的当。因此在被骗走第一次的8万令吉后，当老千第二次向他要7万5千令吉时，即设下陷阱连同友人一起将他逮捕。
无论如何，警方将继续盘问以揪出老千的合伙人。
受骗商人是被一名自称巫师者以中了多多头奖两百万为铒，向他索钱充作慈善。商人第一次付了他8万令吉，不料隔天老千又再向他索取7万5千令吉，让他觉得对方贪得无厌及形迹可疑，最后揭发他是一名老千，连同友人一起现场逮捕。
此宗逮捕老千骗案于日前发生在太平古打律回教坟场外。太平自愿治安公会同人在接到事主的投报后，马上到现场合力将老千逮捕。

非洲不法之徒横行 骗走470万
非洲不法之徒横行 骗走470万
二零一零年七月九日 凌晨十二时五十七分
（吉隆坡8日讯）非洲不法之徒横行不断，单单上半年，警方就接获253宗涉及非洲人的投报，被骗数额高达470万令吉，其中爱情包裹骗局占83宗及洗黑钱6宗。
全国商业罪案调查局助理总监（行动）罗海米助理总监，上个月初，警方接获4宗爱情包裹投报后，在过去两个星期，拘捕19名非洲男子、1名本地巫裔女子及1名菲律宾女子协助调查。最后一次行动是昨天在雪州加影两个地点展开。
他今日由全国商业罪案调查局助理总监（网络）卡玛鲁丁助理总监、技术组主任阿末诺丁警监陪同，召开记者会说，落网男女嫌犯介于20余至30余岁，虽然不属同一个不法集团，但是彼此认识，并有联系。
他说，警方在这期间，分别在雪州加影、蒲种、安邦等巴生谷地区展开8次检举行动，起获近4万3000令吉现款、13台手提电脑、16台手机、5张存款收据、3叠100美元假钞、3叠空白纸、1台电脑、1个随身碟、1个安全盖章、1张“美国联邦后备防止金钱冻结组”证书。
“19 名落网的非洲男子，17人是尼日利亚籍，加纳、象牙及博茨瓦纳各1名，他们是持学生证来马深造，有些逾期逗留。”
他指出，本地嫌犯则是户头持有人，借用户头给非洲嫌犯，以让受害者把钱汇入户头。
“每次受害者存入现款，非洲嫌犯就通过提款机取出现钞，透过西方联盟把钱汇回国。”
罗海米说，警方正调查这批男女资料，因此未掌握干下多少宗案件。警方援引刑事法典第420欺骗条文调查，扣留嫌犯协助调查。
警方去年接获 591宗涉及非洲人的投报，损失数额为1600万令吉。
擅长攻心计 目标单身女郎
非洲老千攻心有术，女讲师也上当！
罗海米说，非洲老千擅长攻心计，通常通过社交网站寻找目标，而40岁以上的单身女子，都成为行骗目标。
他指出，老千在网上结交这些单身女子，两三个月便展开追求，双双坠入爱海。
“老千打蛇随棍上，以求婚为饵，声称给受害者寄来了装美金、欧元、金饰、名表等的包裹。”
他说，相隔两三天，同党冒充是关税局人员，致电受害者缴付数千令吉的杂费，才能领出包裹。
他指出，受害者往往信以为真，就依据指示汇过现款，然而老千得寸进尺，会冒充是其他单位的人员，以种种藉口继续欺骗要求汇钱，直至受害者如梦初醒。
他说，受害者包括各阶级，例如上个月初遇骗的4名女事主，其中一名就是讲师。
罗海米说，更有一名女书记被骗三次，损失不菲。
他劝请公民不要轻易相信网上情人，凡事谨慎，例如若接获关税局“人员”来电，应反致电询问。关税局热线电话号码是03-8776657
