That is Wan Biao.

589817 2007-09-10 08:35:00 That is Wan Biao.
...Has anyone here had dealings with a Malaysian bloke called Wan Biao Ang (Steven) before? I have had deals with him before but he has recently screwed me over pretty much for a large some of money by leaving the country without delivering my item. Has anyone else here been affected by this trader? He uses the company names Cyber World Computers and Hicom PC....It's Wan on there too.

589818 2007-09-10 08:58:00 Err, "Wan" is the first name, "Biao" is the last name of the deceased, I am pretty sure.

[Edit] "Ang" is a common last name among Chinese-Malaysians.

589819 2007-09-10 09:04:00 I should probably explain that I don't for a second think they are the same person..... george12 (7)
589820 2007-09-10 19:53:00 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.

Don't deal with Zcom either.

The others I mentioned, you get an account to log in and order.
You'll see the status of your order in the system, once they get paid (with a cash account) you'll see the courier ttracking numbers too and the status moves from Order to Invoice.

And of course, as I said, after sales service is excellent.....

589821 2007-09-11 02:05:00 What's the latest word george? Any sign of the money? somebody (208)
589822 2007-09-11 04:15:00 I can't see Hicom online on MSN. Hopefully he remembers and have checked the status of the cheque and made a bank deposit to George's account. qazwsxokmijn (102)
589823 2007-09-11 04:34:00 Well, it hasn't come through yet. I don't know what he's up to right now...

Personally I think the whole cheque thing is made up.

I'm heading to the Community Law Centre this evening to pre-emptively see what my options are if things turn sour.

589824 2007-09-11 04:57:00 The Police were much better today. I called and they want me to file a report. They said it will be 'complicated' for me to get the money back, but the Court process will involve him being ordered to pay me.

Basically, them tracking him down is a good start.

qazwsxokmijn, I'll leave it up to you whether you think it would be a good idea to tell him that the police will be on to him if he doesn't pay up (by bank deposit).

Posting all of this on a publicly viewable internet forum probably isn't a good idea either...
