Yeah. Even if he isn't a crook, he's a very unreliable supplier.

Once again George, I apologise for introducing him to you.

I have demanded him to deposit the money NOW. Not replying, though.

EDIT: wait....isn't Wang Biao that dead guy whose body got stuffed in a suitcase and dumped in the sea?

Uh oh.........

Edit:


Bail has been granted for one of the students charged with the killing of classmate Wan Biao.

589808 2007-09-10 08:00:00 Are you talking to him George on MSN?

He hasn't replied in 10 minutes. Check your bank account tonight at 12 or tomorrow night.

589810 2007-09-10 08:11:00 He says he is checking the status of the cheque.

EDIT: George, I need to go now. Please PM me of any developments you get.

EDIT: He says he cannot trace the cheque as the bank is out of hours. I have demanded him to keep you informed tomorrow.

589811 2007-09-10 08:15:00 Also, he has taken his CyberWorld Computer Company (CWCC) from the register . Have a look:
. companies . govt . nz/cms/our-services/news-and-public-notices/public-notices/removal-and-restoration-notices/current-company-removals" target="_blank">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 . . . .



Time for another name change?

The link to his casual business practice was on the first page of Google results for "Hicom site: . nz" (Hint, hint George) Most of the computer related forums have threads about dealers to avoid .

589812 2007-09-10 08:19:00 A PF1 user put me onto a supplier of computer parts called Hicom Ltd .

I made an order from the guy because he was around 10% cheaper than my current suppliers, and the PF1 user had made many orders from him without problems . I paid the $2300 for the order into his bank account, the name of which was 'Hicom Ltd' .

After a few weeks, nothing had arrived,

And another PF1 user gave you some RELIABLE decent proper suppliers to deal with .
But no, you ignored my advice about RELIABLE and good customer service and went with unknown and cheap .

I mean, no offence to qazwsxokmijn but he is NOT a tech with experience in ordering from suppliers .
And you ask now . Not before you handed over large sums of money .

Why did I bother . . . . . . . . . . . .

Cowboys abound, and not just in the retail and repair areas of IT either .

He is just stalling. He said to me he'd cancelled that cheque as he sent it to the wrong address.

Thanks for all your help anyway.

This happened well before I got your excellent and much-appreciated advice, which I am following so that terrible things like this don't happen again.

The first thing I did was an extensive Google search . I didn't do site:nz, I though t it would have the same result as searching in NZ .
