Tomy Wijaya of Indonesia Makes Purchase with Stolen Credit Card
Fortunately, PayPal identified the card as stolen before the first part
of the order was shipped. This account is posted here since the Indonesian
authorities notified have not appeared to have done anything to bring the
perpetrator to justice.

On Feb. 14, 2008, after a week of preliminary discussion, Tomy Wijaya placed and
order for 20 ScanGaugeIIs
for a total, including shipping, of $3002.35 USD.
He sent all his credit card information in one email -- something I advised him
against, because of how easily emails can be intercepted.
Because limitation at that time on my merchant account, I had to divide his
order into two segments of 10 ScanGaugeIIs.
Fortunate for me, I looked into PayPal's Virtual Terminal service and realized
that it was preferable to the one I was using in several regards, so I went
ahead and ran the card for the second half of the order the morning I planned to
ship the first half of the order. Usually, I have Linear Logic ship my
orders direct, but they declined on this one because the request to use the US
Postal Service (they usually ship via DHL), and because of the reputation
Indonesia has for fraud.
About two minutes before I headed out the door to ship the first ten gauges,
I received a call from PayPal informing me that the card was stolen.
I then began refunding the card for all the charges I had put on it for this
order, a process that was completed within a couple of days.
One Feb. 23, I reported this incident to http://www.undp.or.id/contactus/index.asp,
which is one of the sites that came up when I did a Google search for reporting
fraud in Indonesia. A week later, I received yet another email from Tomy
Wijaya, so I realized that they had not brought him to justice, so I decided to
post this account here in our news site so that anyone doing an Internet search
on "Tomy Wijaya" will find this page and be apprized of this fraud.
Here is a copy of his order, with his contact information. You will
also notice that he was requesting a fraudulent notation on his order at the
postal service to reduce his taxes and import duties -- something I was not
going to do.

PS: If it is possible, I would like you to do me a favor. It is about
the high taxes and import duties in my country, so It will be very
helpfull to me when you can make "the commercial invoice" on
the
package become lower than the total amount you have charge on to my
card/cards.
The lower invoice you make,the lower tax and import duties I will
pay.It will be great if you can make it become 500 USD for the total
cost.And then you can mail or email me the original invoice.
But I really understand if you can not help me about making my
invoice
lower,because as I know, some policy company doesn`t allow some act
like that.
Thanks if you can help me, but when you can not help me that`s okay,
JUST SHIP MY ORDER SOON BY USPS/EMS/POSTAL SERVICE.
