Mudah is an advertisement site and does not offer any kind of shopping experience. No, forget about safe shopping without being scammed. If you’re purchasing without thinking twice on Mudah, you will eventually end up being conned.
2 months ago I got conned exactly RM1750 to a fucking guy who claim to sell his used 13” MacBook Air. I was stupid, fucking stupid to fall for the too-good-to-be-true offer.
What’s the fucking big deal to lose RM1750? The fucking big deal here is that, All these fucking conman is a bunch of daredevil and Malaysian authority seems to be helpless. I have spoken to the inspector and officer from consumer tribunal, this is an ongoing issue that will not get solved easily.
Featured item on Mudah turn out to be a fraud
I saw Mudah happily publishes a fun fact: “meet our ad checking team!” I am glad they start the initiative to protect the buyers but is this enough? Will this deter fake ads on Mudah?
I wish this is a responsibility of any online company to protect their customers from harm; I want to dream that Malaysian government takes stern action on any online company for neglecting their responsibilities, with highest fraud cases as a gauge and a way to start investigating and implementing procedures to minimize customer being a victim of fraud from visiting sites like Mudah and others.
A message like the above won’t help much. Customers trust the site not the notice at the very bottom of the page! If the majority online community does not read T&C, do not expect they will read this message. A better implementation is much needed.
It all came down to “shop at your own risk” and I am sadden by this whole ordeal. Malaysian in general is known to be friendly and trustworthy but it seems the bad guys take advantage of this friendliness and trust.

Know the Fraudsters
These are red flag indicators that you are dealing with fraudsters;
- Seller always seems to be in a rush. They create urgency by telling you the item probably will be sold soon because he/she received many calls.
- Seller DID NOT have any internet presence. Do a search on social networks, example; Facebook with name and email. You will notice they do not own any profile.
- Seller calls you “bro or sis” for no apparent reason. Malaysian generally a very polite and friendly people. Fraudster abuse this friendliness by cheating your money. Be mindful when people call you bro or sis when they try selling you something.
- Watch out for item with no extra charges. Example; Courier service charges.
- Watch out for seller promises to use expensive courier service like DHL.
- Watch out for items half the price of the original market value. (This is to trick you into thinking that you really found a high value items with a super cheap price)
- Watch out for seller’s location and the language spoken. (You can tell by the slang if seller are from the said location)
- Watch out for seller’s name, the bank account’s name and the language spoken. (You can tell by the slang if the seller is a Chinese, Indian, Malay or others)
- Watch out for high ranking seller’s identity. Is he/she a higher ranking individual? Someone who deals with higher ranking individual? Example, working for Kastam, LHDN, Marine, dealing with oil & gas and etc… 9 out 10 are false identity.
- Watch out for payment/ transaction that are made one or two days before the weekend/holidays started. Fraudster fixed their modus operandi on weekends to avoid buyer suspicion. (If you thought your package would arrive on Tuesday (send out on Monday) the bad guys already run away with your money without your notice for the pass 5 days.)

Hi,
So sorry to hear that. I have not come across people went to court for this, maybe there is but pretty rare I guess. I’m not sure.
The matter of the facts;
1) We have no knowledge of what to do to bring this people to court
2) Some fraudster uses stolen account to do this transaction and even the bank and Mudah block this account, the real fraudster still roam free.
We need the government to step in to protect the online consumer; a very bright and intelligence government officer to rethink the process of online shopping.
