Unfortunately for him if he's found guilty he will be in deep trouble as this is sinkieland. In bolehland, just refund half or 10% of the loot he will be discharge just like the ketuanans ahmad maslan or thief najib razak's son as crime pays very well in bolehland.

That's why so many especially seniors are still reluctant to transact onlines.

The authorities have to make it utterly safe to engender more confidence in online shopping.

When kena scammed one will be terribly dejected and frustrated.

Yes, seniors may be easily scammed by buying things on-line. The relevant authorities must give a heavy penalty for this crime to deter others who is trying do white collar crime. Angry
