Please help me to locate this scammer


    Chapter #1

    Hi everyone, I know this is not related but please help me locate this idiot here.. I’m really at my wits end and his friend told me he is a regular member here thus I am trying my luck here as cny is near and I really need to locate him..

    I know this guy, paul. And because both of us are single parents as he told me. We chatted and share about kids stuff.

    One day I posted my note3 for sale, cause I really needed money to prepare for cny, to buy stuff for my daughter and so on because I would be out of job end December. and he expressed interested, and offered me $400.

    when he came to collect the phone from me suddenly he told me he is cash tight, and said he will take the phone first and pay me mid December, which I thought is ok. I know I am stupid but initially I think since I know him personally should be ok. and mid December came, he told me he needs to buy books for his daughter to start school etc… so I became soft hearted and when he say he will pay me end December, I give him benefit of doubt.

    December came, he went missing. I told him I am out of job already and still need to feed my daughter but still no reply. so I told him if he got no money just return the phone bt still no reply.

    my friend whatsapp him telling him we will forgo the money, just return the phone in good condition or in instalment but all messages was read but not replied. I found his address and went over but it was a lady there and said she rented the house from an old uncle which denied knowing him. (the address is on his ic, I think the old man is his dad). I made a police report but police say this is civil case and nothing they can do. they wont even call him or contact him.

    ive also tried contacting his ex wife but she is ignoring messages. I just need to locate him that’s all. I don’t want the money anymore, I just want the phone back so I can sell to others. its only a week away from Cny and im totally cashless after paying for bills and so on, and my new job will only start after cny. please if anyone know him ask him to return me phone or pay me. or at least return me $200 first, let my daughter have a decent cny. I give him the benefit of doubt as im a single mum too. now I did not even buy anything for my daughter or the house, and she is unhappy and sad.

    please help me locate him or his wife. this forum is my last chance..

    i don’t know where his daughter study,

    only know his wife worked at hypercube consultancy at bukit merah central but when I called the number I found online for this company, the line is dead. probably info was not updated or she worked there long ago.

    I tried to wait for him outside his place but the tenant was unhappy and threatened to call the police, and she claims she rented the place and is staying there alone so really nothing I can do.

    ive also checked with SMRT taxi with the license he showed me before, but they said he stopped driving for them since years ago. I only know he is driving a Honda stream for uber now, full name paul deng guan ann, I don’t remember his car plate number.

    am at my wits end now and trying all I can to locate him at least to get my phone back so I can sell to someone else or a shop. ive been seeking friends help using different numbers to contact him but to no avail at all.

    all I know is his friend said he frequent this forum to look for girls and thus im here trying to see if anyone know him or his ex wife and help me..

    Nope.. The number I have ends with 5162 but he might have other numbers as I seen him with 2 phones before.

    Thus the divorce. .

    Anyway how do u know the wife photo r real. ?

    Did u manage to get the help from anyone here?

    I don’t wish to post her photo either but I am really left with no choice. His mahjong khaki told me he is still in close contact w his ex wife which is why I messaged her for help but even she is ignoring me. He wants to buy stuff for his daughter and took my money, as a result I cannot do so, is this fair to me if its not fair to him?

    $400 might not be alot to others but it can be alot to some.

    Have lodged a police report already. But the IO said they can’t do anything cause its a civil case. I asked if they could at least call him for me but he say they can’t do so. One friend of his told me he borrowed $100 from him and also disappeared but he doesn’t want to go to e police cause he think troublesome.

A $5-10 help from every forum members here will make up for your lost $400 quickly. Don’t let such incident affect this happy festival. I’m sure all members here are willing and can surely afford $5-10 to help. If you don’t mind, you can PM me your acc number and I’ll start the ball rolling with the first $10

    Thank you. Really appreciate it..

    I’m posting here not expecting people to trust me. Yes my story is one sided, but if my conscience is guilty why would I post his photos up and ask for help to locate him so he can come and show everyone I am lying??

    sorry for the late reply and sorry if i did not PM, its not that i accept help or as someone PMed me and said i look down on small amounts. I can only message once every 5 minutes so its very slow.

    i really appreciate all help and advise, and is trying to pm everyone from the thread..

    im also seeking help on how to remove the pic? wants to remove the wife and daughter pic but i cant find any edit button.

    someone pm me and claimed a friend know his wife and such, and i know i posted her pic out of anger. this member requested that i remove the pic so that he will help to contact the wife, and its up to her whether she wants to help me contact him. but i hope people understand, I’ve tried to contact her, ive also asked my friends to facebook her, she choose not to reply which is why i have to go to this extend to look for them. i did not make up stories (she might not be the ex wife but current wife, i don’t know because this is base on what others tell me). its no point if someone keep PM me here and ask me how i know that’s his wife or how old am i or my daughter or why am i not accepting help. i hope people understand my frustration.

    i knew paul deng guan ann, i don’t know his wife nor family, have not met his daughter. details i posted, about his ex wife and so on is from what he told me. so it might not be true. thus i cannot provide proof. if anyone know this lady in the picture, why not just ask her to reply to my facebook messages or to contact me directly? i will definitely apologise if the details i know is untrue and she is really unable to help or locate him. but if she knows what he is doing and still helping him to hide, am i wrong in exposing her or dragging her in as well? sorry if i sound selfish. i know i am stupid enough to trust him, but who wont have a soft spot for someone with the same background story as oneself??

    with such.. i hope to make it open to the member whom pm-ed me and says one of his friend know the lady, please help me pass a message to her, to contact me straight. she would have me in her facebook mailbox, or my friend message in her mailbox, or she can ask for my number through you. once again, if she is not involved, i will apologise and delete everything concerning her. my intention is not out to harm anyone. im also clear i will not get the money from him, but what i want is at least my phone in good condition, or an explanation. if he really sold the phone for than at least let me know and arrange to pay me back a portion or have the balls to own up to his own action.

    i gave him the benefit of doubt because i thought we are in the same boat. so even if i don’t get anything back, i think its rightful for me to post his photos up so people know who he is…

    i am sorry if i sounded really harsh in this but i am really going crazy soon. i believe many people here would know how it feels to be penniless in such times. everyone make mistake, my mistake is i trusted a bastard like him.

    i might be able to track him down to his current address/ place of work etc.

    Please pm me with whatever number, email, twitter digital thing that you have on him. If he left a digital footprint, I might be able to find him.

    best is if you have had online conversations with him, those would be most helpful.

    Edit: btw. i already found his instagram and his fb. please pm me if you want the link. i think i agar agar know where he stay liao.

    hi.. will pm u shortly.. the address i have is in fort road…

    if you are afraid than can private message me in my forum, no evil thoughts lol

    yup I am stupid enough to trust him because he told me a lot of stories about how hes trying to make life better for his daughter etc and I thought hes a nice person. I have posted on facebook but it did not go viral, I shared it with all Singapore stuff, stomp and also tried locating him through smrt page but was told he left the company long ago. this forum is the last place I can think of cause his friend told me he is a regular here to look for freelance.

    it was supposed to be COD. but he came to collect and suddenly told me all the stories and stuff and I was dumb enough to be soft hearted.

    This is not civil case. Sound like cheating.

    Cheating police have to get involved.

    This one like those clowns collect money to buy cheap iPhone in bulk but never buy at all. Or take goods or sit taxi, say pay later but give 100 excuses.

    was told by the IO its consider civil case. maybe because no one else reported against him. i gave them his address and number but they did not make any contact and told me my report will only be record purpose.

    hi everyone.. really thanks for all the advise and help.. I really appreciate it and will update everyone accordingly… as I think I can finally send messages continuously now.. no idea why.

    I know I am losing my head over this whole issue, but I really cant control myself. I feel very shortchanged, and very unfair. I helped him because I think we are in the same boat and should understand how tedious it is to be all alone. and he said so many stories about how he fought for custody of his daughter, how he wants to provide for her etc and I went soft hearted..

    I wont pay for his address because I cannot afford to. and if anyone helped me with money I will not use someone else money to locate him either. I got the police involved already but they say no one else reported against him so they will just keep a record and not take action because its a stand alone case and is considered civil case. (I understand how many of you think its not civil case but that’s what the police told me so nothing I can do also…)

    its very unlikely he will give you your share of the money for the phone. So find him also no use.

    It seems like he aim to cheat you of your phone from day one or at the most, give you a 50 deposit for the phone so he can take the phone n disappear.

    And most likely he take phone from you to sell la. Not use. If he sold it, all the more cheating case esp when he got no money to pay for it

    I posted it out of anger. my wrong. I couldn’t control my own anger because I tried asking his ex wife for help but was ignored, and she seems to be the only one he is still in contact with. once again I am sorry and after posting I didn’t know how to take down the image.

    if you are unhappy with me for posting up his ex wife and daughter photo, I apologise. yes I should not have done it even if I am angry and losing my control. do I have a fucked up attitude? would you be behaving like this if you were me? with cny less than a week away, your family already look down on you for being a single parent and you cant even afford to buy new clothes for your kid just because you tried to be nice to someone whom you think is the same as you??

    I will wait and see for karma to come find me. don’t worry.

    and I am sorry if I have a fucked up attitude.

    sorry all for posting images again. I am not posting anything related to his ex wife or daughter, but what he have done have tested my patience too much.

    a member here whom claimed to know his ex wife just pm me (I am not sure if you want me to write out ur username so I will not do so). and told me his ex wife said she confronted him on this issue, and he denied doing it. denied buying my phone and running away, not making payment.

    to make it worst he told his wife (it seems they r in the mid of a divorce according to the fellow member) that I am ONE OF HIS ONS PARTNER whom is trying to find trouble for him.

    I CAN ACCEPT ANY FORM OF INSULT BUT ISN’T THIS A BIT TOO MUCH?

    from the below screenshot conversation between us in which way it seems like our relationship is a ONS turned sour? I am not blanking out his number because this is too much.

    I appreciate all help ive gotten here and am really thankful to people for believing me but theres no way he should be saying things like these just to continue running away. its too much. I have a daughter to care for just like him. what makes him think he can make up stories and ruin my reputation????

    told me he would come over to east side to pass me cash but decide to disappear.

    trying to borrow money.

    online but not replying

    him asking me the price for my phone when I posted some phone for sale on behalf of my friend and myself

    hi everyone.. sorry for the late replies.. really appreciate all the help and advice, encouragement I gotten here… was finally able to get some paint and start painting my girl’s room, shes been complaining wall dirty and etc..

    some people might think I am spoiling her but I think at this age, I don’t want to further disappoint her.. have already made her very unhappy when her friends ask about her dad, so I am just trying to do all I can for her.

    I still did not give up locating that idiot.. though I know chances of getting the money back is almost zero.. but its really unfair for him to make up stories and say im his one night stand and trying to find problem with him..

    once again really thanks for all the advices..

    You’ve gotten more back than what you “loss” and you still refuse to just treat this as a lesson and move on? So say you find him, what do you want from him to stop all your bitching? Pls la, got the money back just move on as per advices from the bros here.

    Are you Paul Deng guan Ann or in anyway related to him ?

    BTW my husband did not left me. I did not have a husband in the first place. I have never once mentioned I am divorced. Do you know my story or did u happen to be another story teller like paul deng guan ann??

    Also did I mention I am still hoping to get the HP back? Why should I treat this as a lesson and let him continue cheating others or making up stories that I am his one night stand gone wrong? Does the members here whom helped me owe me?? No one owed me anything except Paul Deng guan Ann. Everyone helped me out of goodwill and I appreciate it but does not means I take help for granted and pretend nothing happen.

    If you are not paul Deng guan Ann or related to him in anyway, probably shut up and get out of my thread as my patience is limited. If you happen to be him or related to him in anyway, tell him to provide evidence I am his one night stand since that’s what he told his wife.
