Important Info: Reporting to the Authorities

The following information was compiled by my buddy, Alan Cheah.

I feel this is very helpful to any internet fraud victim, therefore, I've taken the liberty to share it with readers here.

Steps to be taken:
1) File a report with Consumer Claims Tribunal first.
If you submit the report online, you still need to go personally to process your claim in their office, so that they will proceed with investigation for you.

- Print out the report page 1-3 online when u fill up in Tribunal Website. If not, you must fill up the form again at Tribunal Claims Office.
- Print or photocopy all the document you need to submit to them, i.e, Bank in slip, auction/sales page, correspondence & etc...
- Make FOUR (4) copies of all supporting documents
- If you have already lodged a police report, you may also attach the copy of the police report to Borang 1 to substantiate your claim, as advised by a Tribunal officer.

Working Hours:
Monday -Thursday: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. 2 p.m to 5 p.m.
Friday: 8 a.m. to 12.15 p.m., 12.15 p.m. to 2.45 p.m., 2.45 p.m. to 5 p.m.

2) Make a police report, if possible, go to Bukit Aman, where there is a special Internet Crime Investigation Unit

- According to a police officer, the report should be forwarded to Bukit Aman, and action would be taken, if more reports were received from the victims.
- After filing a police report at your nearby police station, you can also fax a copy of that police report with the report number to the following fax no: 03-26930595 in Bukit Aman, attention to Supt. Khalil Azlan and he will take action once he gathers all reports.

3) Go to MCA's Headquarters to complain.-
Go in a group and take along all relevant reports and documents

* Remember to keep all documents which you have made and keep all transaction details between you and the fraudster.
