KEDAI KU KEMBOJA
Isu 2018/02/17 Scammer alert
SPOILER ALERT: JALAN CERITA AGAK PANJANG. SILA BACA DENGAN SABAR. (Kalau berniat hendak baca la)
Saya, selaku salah seorang admins SDC ingin membuka bahas mengenai isu (possible) scammer yg HOT ketika ini iaitu Keyoi Iman Nos Diecast. Pngalaman saya adalah pernah deal sekali (first and probably last) dengan beliau. Item ready stock, x jg cecah nilai ratus, dan syukur item selamat sampai. Perjalanan deal? Berkali² sy minta status tracking number, items dibilang sda post, tapi ikut perjalanan tracking dlm sistem, x seperti yg dinyatakan. Well, it's okay. Yg penting selamat sampai. Persoalan sekarang, macam mana kita hendak detect seller yg mana TRUSTED seperti yg direkomen oleh kwn² (refer power seller, kwn kolektor lain), tapi in the end, going for same old trick and became scammer of all time? (Please take note, this Keyoi guys hanya dikategori sebagai POSSIBLE scammer sahaja, dipercayai belum ada laporan polis dibuat biarpun ada beberapa buyer mendakwa yg mereka dah 'ditipu' ratus, ribu, puluhan ribu.
NOW, special episode for this time, I would like to write you guys about my ACTUAL and REAL EXPERIENCE about dealing with BIG SCAMMER OF ALL TIME in diecast (HW) scene - Kedai Ku Kemboja aka Ku Kemboja. Utk new user/collector/yg mana baru dlm dunia diecast, kindly take note for this.
Ringkasan mengenai KKK (Kedai Ku Kemboja)
Turut dikenali:
1. Kedai Ku Kemboja (nama fb)
2. KKK (nama pgglan)
3. Kak Ku (yes she's a lady)
4. Kak Ann (nama panggilan)
5. Ku Kemboja (inilah profile yg digunakan oleh beliau masa sy first mengenali beliau)
6. Anne Mikael Abdullah (last sy dpt detect dan contact dlu)
7. Wan Norai Wan Ismail (real name). Bole check google ni nama. Ada kes scam terdahulu.
8. Maybe ada lain² tapi sy dah x dpt detect sbb sy kna blocked oleh beliau after kena refund (long story for this)
Kerap/pernah menjalani bisnes:
1. TT88 (Kota Kinabalu suatu ketika dahulu sblm beralih ke TTFY)
2. TTFY (Kota Kinabalu)
3. Online FB (pernah buat live selling)
4. Pernah buka kedai di Kota Kinabalu, tapi x bertahan lama. Itupun dengar kata kedai yg diubahsuai sblm ni belum dilangsai hutang atau usaha kos menolong membuat ubahsuai kedai beliau (tidak dibayar sesen pun)
5. Rasanya d TT semenanjung (cuma lupa d mana), HHM salah satu.
Modus operandi:-
1. Membuat pelaburan dalam HW. Sesiapa yg ingin mempunyai pelaburan haruslah mempunyai minimum amount duit yg ditawarkan oleh KKK, menikmati pulangan 20% (wow lumayan dari ASB) dalam masa 3 bulan, dan dijanji akan dpt semula duit pelaburan + hasil pulangan 20% pada bulan ketiga.
2. Membuat preorder. This one is tricky part. Jualan dibuat secara biasa. Macam biasa, KKK knows how to get HOT ITEMS. R34 kad lama, EF kad lama, Celica, you name it, she surely can helps you getting your dream cars. TAPI, rules macam biasa, first comes first serve. Keutamaan yg telah membayar, dan for sure yg sudah bayar akan dapat barang. (Duh)
3. Reseller package (RP). I must admit, otak KKK, mmg otak bisnes, she thinks way ahead of most people dalam industri HW (yg hot ketika itu, masa tu belum lg hot tarmac, etc). But, dia SALAH GUNA cara dia, she took advantage on people's trust and greediness, and voila, ramai kena scammed! Through reseller package, she will posted berkenaan apa² barang (most hot items) yg dia akan bawa dari Indon (most of it), sesiapa yg interested to join, bolehlah join for this RP and pay some amount (ikut kemampuan dan bajet setiap org). Ada yg ratus, ada yg ribu, and ada yg puluh ribu (yes serious). So kepada yg sda bayar/invest, he or she akan mendapat barang, dan decide samada mau tujuan utk resell, or collection (nak peram utk dijual ka simpan ka terpulang). Tujuan RP ini juga dibuka mostly kpd newbies (ni kesian) yg ingin merasa berjualan di TT, tapi teda barang. So KKK really convince a lot of 'newbies' and 'oldies' on that time. She even marketing kaw² bahawa menjual HW waktu tt CERTAINLY can makes much profit (well, she did that on that period). That's why, boom! mangsa detected afterwards.
4. PO tayar getah secara besar-besaran di seluruh pelusuk Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Indonesia. This one sy betul² kena, kena game bosku. I still remember, this was the first big deal yg sy join dgn KKK (fb Ku Kemboja on that time), she was planned to setup a BIG and POTENTIAL biz on that time - tayar getah. Ya, that time was way before nowadays yg kita ada alternative jualan tayar spt YLK, KreAuto dll. Dulu, I mean in 2015, tayar getah bole dikatakan one of hard to find item. And I'm sorry to say, those stuffs was illegal. Semua dari 'jalan belakang' (ehem faham² la k). So harga dijual dari RM3/set, hinggalah RM10/set (ni kik mahal sudah kalo waktu 2015). Ok back to our story, KKK mau setup this BIG BIZ dan promises us (yes we have a team in all over regions, siap ada in charge, tiap negeri tiap negara) akan dapat barang setelah beliau deal dgn pihak Mattel mengenai this special project. Macam biasa awal² buka PO, ask for payment even though she have 'invested' millions in this project. My experience? Macam biasa, open PO, with full payment. Dan sy masih simpan lg each of every buyers yg ikut PO dgn sy, termasuk rekod kuantiti tayar dan jenis tayar yg dorg ikut PO. In the end, I think you guys can predict what happen kan? Here's what happen for your guys reference (x ramai orang tau ni).
i. Dari Oct 2015, janji Dec 2015 siap. Bulan Dec, kami tagih barang, dibilangnya delay production, tggu Jan 2016. Ok we wait, alang².
ii. Jan 2016. Kami tagih barang, dibilangnya ada masalah teknikal di kilang. So kena tggu lagi. So we asked bila? at least we need to know the eta (anggaran bila siap), KKK said March 2016. Wow lamanya, I asked my buyers, semua memahami, continue to wait. Masa tu, ada sda bberapa Power Investor (yg order lebih dri 1000 sets) quit, dan minta refund, KKK akun (willing to) refund. Tapi, disebabkan 'short-fund', KKK mencari investor (or pemangsa) lagi, utk funding in this project, bagi peluang BIZ katanya. Kepala hotakmu bosku. Ramai juga yg join, tapi mmg regrets later on.
iii. March 2016. Ni pun hampir mau ke penghujung bulan, barang tak nampak, hasil tak nampak, siap bagi gambar kunun ini itu pattern yg akan dibuat, tapi x menampakkan mass production pun. That's it. I decided to stop this delay madness. For my buyer's own good. In the end, saya dgn baik²nya asked for refund. Saya bagitau masa dah diberi, tggu pun kita xtau smpi bila, last² yg dibagi tgk adalah CONFIRMATION EMAIL dari Mattel kununnya kilang x bole fullfil project KKK, atas sebab sumber dan info dalaman yg sda set oleh Mattel. On that time, my mind trus teringat kata seorang kolektor ini berkata, "sejak bila Mattel setuju untuk jual tayar getah?" Damn. I was wrong and right on the same time. Wrong about not taking his advice, and right about doing the wise decision ever - minta refund oi! The hard part begin, the reason I plan to do this BIZ TAYAR GETAH sebab as a seller we want to make money, profit, and for sure getting items yg KONONNYA HARD TO FIND (this one got the point actually). BUT, apa sy jadi? Saya jadi 'ahlong' bosku. Bukan betul² la ba aiyaa. Dari seller yg ingin make income, turn to ahlong yg tiap masa tiap minggu tiap bulan menagih refund dari KKK, supaya dapat kembalikan duit buyers. Saya x mau la ceritakan the painful and bitter experiences saya, tapi syukur jugalah, I'm one of lucky one who gets FULL REFUNDS by KKK, dan stiap buyers yg ikut PO tetap langsai. Penat, tapi lega. But still kecewa, mau barang, tidak dapat. Last² dapat penat, but hell of a journey. I live past that. Proud! 😎 I also know that, segala refund yg saya dapat dari bulan March ke October 2016 masa tu, adalah hasil daripada skim Reseller Package dan Pelaburan HW yg KKK masih buat ketika itu. Maksudnya memang ramai nubis CONFIRM KERUGIAN dan xdapat apa².
Fun facts about this KKK case:-
1. KKK heavily active on this sceme from 2015 to early 2017, sehinggalah dia dipercayai 'hilang diri' dan balik indon atas sebab dikejar hutang. KKK turut dikatakan lari ke Sabah atas sebab isu yg agak serius atas pengalaman sblm ini. (Yela takut kna hentam leitu).
2. KKK pernah terlibat modus operandi yg sama tapi bukan dalam HW scene, bidang lain. Google la sndiri k, nant terpanjang cerita.
3. Pernah beberapa kali naik mahkamah atas isu scam. Last reported (2017), dia berada di Balai Polis Penampang berpakaian baju lokap.
4. Pernah convince alot of people's dalam funding on her BIZ. Antaranya: friend of mine pernah invest more than 10k mengenai tawaran pelaburan yg bagi pulangan 20%. In the end, apabila minta refund, jumlah yg diberi msih belum dibayar habis (waktu KKK dlm penjara).
5. Our friend pernah gadai harta benda gara² support her BIZ, itupun KKK kerap datang jumpa si kawan dgn segala janji manis. Dari bujang smpi beranak si kwan msih belum ada hasil pulangan bosku. Masa susah berabis nak minta tlg funding ini siap janji bulan, tp waktu si kwn minta pulangan sedikit buat tampungan hidupan harian, tidak dilayan.
6. Once been called a FULLY 100% RECOMMENDED TRUSTED seller, tapi gone rogue. Feel pity for those unlucky buyers/resellers/victims.
7. One of influenced member from former group HHM. One of admins from HHM was her estranged son, and now alot of people condemning her son because her action. Bukan sorang saja kena wei, whole family kena tempias. Siap hutang ditagih lagi daripada anak. Andu ba, kesian delo.
So, penutup cerita, my point in this episode, how can we detect this kind of seller? Yala, mula² trusted, 100% tiada problem dalam deal, lepas tu, ALL OF THE SUDDEN, tiba² hilang diri, barang tak dapat, tak respond etc. Well, saya sndiri tiada jawapan. I'm not saying I'm gonna be like them, like hell if I wanna be like them. Minta dihindar jauh². If I don't think about myself, I must think about my family's face. Malu woh kena cop scammer terbesar. Shame! Lagipun, must think about nama seller lain. Mau ka kena cop "eh kamu tau ka ada scammer terbesar oh detected di Kota Kinabalu, itupun teda orang lain di KK macam ambil tindakan or bagi teguran. so better hati² la kalo deal dgn seller KK." Mau? Mau? 🙄🙄
