Stupidity again n again. Why buy online. Or believe fast profit. History told that anything easy to profit is always a Scam. We must protect ourselves. Police can't be everywhere. Unless all Citizens become Police.
PDRMsia please get to the bottom of this and bring the culprit to court. Look for the money trail.
