I picked up the PC I ordered from him personally at 98 Anzac Avenue in Auckland CBD. He said this place is a storage of some kind.

Also, he has taken his CyberWorld Computer Company (CWCC) from the register. Have a look:
www.companies.govt.nz
So that proves he had a legit company selling computer stuff and services.

Malaysia? The last time he was gone for a month he told me he was in Singapore. And Steven (Wang Biao An)? He told me his name was Eugene....

Other than this, I have nothing else, sorry. I'm sorry it has come to this, I've never encountered such problems dealing with Hicom.

I think he will be back on MSN again - he always does after odd periods of being offline.

And may I also suggest you talk to the bank he is with - ANZ and supply them with Eugene/Steven's account number.

Hmm, unfortunately that does seem to add up:



He uses the company names Cyber World Computers and Hicom PC.
.

Ringing ANZ now.

589797 2007-09-10 07:33:00 I fear ANZ won't do a thing unless a police fronts up with a warrant....you know, all the privacy acts crap.

It might be worth to contact the companies.govt.nz site and ask if they can give you any addresses/contact numbers Eugene/Steven used to register his company.

EDIT: Oooh, he's online now. I'm scolding him as I type this.

589798 2007-09-10 07:36:00 ANZ say that his bank account no longer exists and they have no customer called 'Hicom Ltd'.

He's come on MSN now but is not replying.

Edit: Sounds like he's talking to you. Tell him to do a bank transfer RIGHT NOW and take a screen shot.

589799 2007-09-10 07:37:00 He says to me he has written a cheque for you. But probably haven't sent it. Typical idiot. Hold on, still scolding him. qazwsxokmijn (102)

Cheques are bad, they can bounce. I want a bank deposit now. It only takes a minute!

589801 2007-09-10 07:47:00 PM me your bank number again George.

He says he has sent you the cheque 2 weeks ago. Must have 'conveniently' got lost in the post.

I've fronted him up with the thread PaulD linked, and he says he can't open it. I then copy&pasted what the poster says, and now he says "brb".

His excuse of having 3 different names is that the other 2 are 'colleagues'. I don't know whether to trust him anymore, either. I've made a few purchases from him myself, with least problems.

589802 2007-09-10 07:51:00 PMd. Thanks. george12 (7)
589803 2007-09-10 07:53:00 NZ post is deemed to be delivered, and in my experience is bloody reliable. He would also have noticed a $2k draw on his cheque account. As there has been no draw, there is no risk in a bank deposit - even if george was trying to defraud him (and he isn't) all he'd need to do is cancel the cheque. Erayd (23)

I would highly recommend you don't ever deal with him again. I don't think that guy ever got his money back.

Oh, I think he knows I haven't got the cheque....
