Also if he should try to make a claim aginist you for unpaid work, injury, libel, etc. it will show you on record first.

Hmm.. Those are really good points. I wonder if I should tempt fate by involving the police...

Frankly speaking, the police are really corrupt over here. In the two occasions I've had to deal with them, they insisted on some kind of bribe to make a report.

For starters, I will go and take pictures of the unfinished work. Will get an electrician to detail what he did not do so if there's any query, I will have his word to help me too.

[quote==CDU=Above][quote=PsYkHoTiK]Is there any Better Business Bureau in Malayisa (or something similar to that?)

Is that where you're at Adrian? Malaysia?

I spent a week in Singapore back in 93, loved that city. Julie Low was her name....bartender in a tavern not far from the port there. Good times.

Anyway, you were saying about that electrician?

ROTFL!!!!

well, if making a police report is too troublesome, then might wanna try talking to the actual Rac SwitchGear instead. If this fellow is just making use of their name and not from there as was suggested, they should be rather pissed off too. If that's the case, you can add kerosene by giving them all the info u've got on the fellow, and if you're lucky, they'll be the ones sending a bunch of thugs after the joker for you

Hmm.. I think Rac Switchgear is his company. The trouble is all I have on the card is his mobile number.

The card doesn't even have his address!

My brother did suggest paying the police a few thousand bucks to mess him up, but what's the point? It would be like throwing pearls before swine.

U know, the Internet can do wonders indeed Unfortunately, Rac Switchgear would indeed seem to be his company. Jeremy is correct too in pointing out the differing company registration numbers, but there's two entities with the same name registered in Malaysia it seems.

One is Rac Switchgear the scammer, and the other is Rac Switchgear (M) Sdn. Bhd.

And finally, according to here: http://www.ssm.com.my/name_searchrob...e=&curr_page=1

The joker's address might be:
B-3-8 BLOCK B,GREENFIELD APT;BUK1T JALIL;KUALA LUMPUR
57000 KUALA LUMPUR

When a name card doesn't specify an address, you ought to be very suspicious already and for your information, the registration number I mentioned above was tied to a Sdn. Bhd. instead of an SP entity.

Edit: There's the possibility that the individual in mention was a former employee of Rac Switchgear (M) Sdn. Bhd. but has since left the company and decided to register an SP entity to capitalize on the reputation of the former entity. Best is to contact the directors of Rac Switchgear (M) Sdn. Bhd. and find out what's up.

Eh.. Bukit Jalil?

It's an apartment address...

Could be his, although he told me he stays in Seri Petaling, if I'm not wrong.

Hmm.. His company name doesn't have a Sdn. Bhd.

Hehe.. Well, my own name card doesn't have any address either!

Well, Bukit Jalil and Seri Petaling very close mah... Notice that its registered as a Biz and not as a Company? Which means its likely that he used his home address itself as the Biz address
