Beware of PILOT 83105551 victorlht88 Aug 23rd, 09, 11:25 PM #1 (permalink)
And so the story goes..he agreed to deal my iphone at $340 at AMK today evening at 8pm. In the noon, he msged me and asked me to meet at serangoon instead when I am already making the trip to amk just to deal with him. Previously he bargained at $310 if he self collects at my place.

Here comes the story, since we agreed to meet at 8pm at amk, as i was on the train towards amk, i sent him a couple of smses to confirm but he did not reply. luckily i did not alight at amk train station, he replied me at 8.45 that he was engaged with work. i gave him a total of 5 calls but he picked up none. i guess the sms convo below shows the story. beware peeps..

I think peoples should seriously try to sms/call the other party if they cannot make it for whatever reasons. It's just politeness.

If you agree to meet beforehand and cannot make it because of work emergencies, sending out a sms to inform the other party take only 5 seconds, surely one can do it.

I just got played out by this guy/gal today. He/she also target other forums as well!! Confirmed seriously buying but becomes a ghost today, totally un-contactable.

I think he/she is doing this for fun... or want his/her mobile to be blacklisted in forums for some reasons.

Sellers Beware! Memorise this number, 83105551

Is there anyway to report this guy to authority or at least let people this kind of rat exist and living here. Maybe STOMP?

Let me share a little something with u guys, as I could as far as possible understand. This forum stands as a market ground to certain people. People who more or less trying to establish long term online marketing. They trying to sell their product, as well as putting their competitor off from their resources. Hence, competitor such a buyers or sellers will be tricked in such ways their product are being held back. Its a form of marketing strategy. You just have to beware of your buyers and sellers next time.

eg, choose your buyer, do not make certainty to just one buyer a group of buyers are always best in a list. I choose my buyer.

eg, do not make certainty a seller has the product for you in the end. Conversation reveals ones sincerity than SMS.
