Online payments and bank transfers have been very beneficial for small businesses to sell their products online. However, there is a growing number of scam cases that have been happening.

Recently, a Malaysian who has a cake business shared how he had gotten scammed by 3 different customers who “paid” via manual bank transfer.

In his post, Gatdi says, “Please be careful, my cake shop SugarCandy has managed to capture 3 different customers who have lied. They edited receipts. Yes, seriously. There really is a syndicate dedicated to editing pictures of receipts.”

Scammers

 

Gatdi explained that in total, they were scammed of RM19,000 due to fraud.

He then went on to detail the modus operandi of each “customer” and how they had managed to scam him.

 

The first “customer”

Gatdi said that 1st customer was a ‘VIP’ customer who has ordered cakes from him 11 times. The scammer ordered a wide array of cakes including pull money cakes & pinata cakes.

“I got scammed of over RM15,00 just from her alone. She wanted money inside the cake.”

He went on to explain that after he realised that she was scamming him, he lodged a police report. A week after the report was filed, she tried to order another cake from him and this time, she asked for RM2000 inside the cake.

Gatdi proceeded with the order and pretended that he didn’t know of the scam.

“I collected whatever evidence I had against her and even pretended to be a delivery man to deliver the cake. When I met with her, I asked her a lot of questions and even asked for the receipt but she wouldn’t show it due to privacy reasons. She also tried to say that it wasn’t her who ordered the cake,” he explained.

She eventually fessed up and tried to apologise. “I told her that I would give her a chance to transfer back the RM15,000. But she said that she can’t do it as she doesn’t have any money. When I asked her to get it from the husband she revealed that the husband doesn’t even know.

Gatdi eventually called the police who came to pick her up and bring her to the station. When he got there, the husband pleaded for Gatdi to allow them to pay them back in installments. However, Gatdi insisted that they pay them back the full amount on the same day.

Eventually, the woman was arrested and court proceedings are still on going.

 

More fraudsters

Unfortunately, this was not the only fraudster he had to deal with. In follow up tweets, he shared how 2 other “customers” have also scammed him using similar tactics of forging receipts.

One of the fraudsters was even getting the cakes just to show off to others that she had money!

We hope that Gatdi and his business will be rewarded with more sales as a result of these scammers.
