Steven Chan Hoi Wan
Steven Chan Hoi Wan claimed that he is a real estate negotiator and passed me a name card of Mary Lim from Red Point Hair & Zone Optik Two Thousand. Steven Chan Hoi Wan told me that Mary Lim is looked for a shop lot. He sent me a cheuque for two months rental deposit, one month utility deposit, one month advance rental and stamp duty fees for the tenancy agreement then asked me to issue one Post Dated Cheque to him for the agent commission. With the acceptance of tenant letter signed by Mary Lim, I passed him my cheque dated 10 days later.
When I noticed that payment from Mary Lim is not cleared in my bank account two days later, I immediately instructed my bank to stop payment of my cheque issued to Steven Chan Hoi Wan. The bank officer told me that the Post Dated cheque that I issued had already cleared.
After getting the cheque image from my bank then only I realized that Steven Chan Hoi Wan had altered the date. The cheque dated 18.10.10 had been altered to 08.10.10.
As you can imagine, Neither Steven Chan Hoi Wan (012-6078507) nor Mary Lim (019-3829883) can not be contacted thereafter.
This case has been reported to police. Consistently, I met another victim who fell into the same tricks. Not only that, there are not only two of us but this case has been reported in the local newspaper few days later which complained by others victims. The newspaper even shown the CCTV picture captured his real face. Steven Chan Hoi Wan is using the same tricks to cheat people. All cheque issued to Steven Chan Hoi Wan was cleared. This can tell us that how careless is the bank clearance officers.
Steven Chan Hoi Wan is around 50+, baldness on the top of the head wearing a black frame eyeglass.
For you all who have property to rent please beware.
Besides, be extra careful when you date the cheque. 1 is much better than the normal l with no head and tail.
I am looking forward the inspector call me for identification.
