Mobile Care Stop in Lawsuit Threat Against Lowyat.NET
(140 votes)
by Lowyat.NET Team   
Saturday, 29 September 2007 07:42 PM

On Friday, 28 September 2007, Lowyat.NET received a 'Notice to Take Down' letter addressed to its owner and administrator via e-mail from Solicitors Lilian & Associates acting on behalf of Kenny Wong (forum nickname: kennywongyf) and Chris Lau (gtoracer1) of 'Mobile Care Stop', a mobile phone retail shop in Subang Square, Subang Jaya, Selangor.  The letter threatens to join the administrator and owner of Lowyat.NET in a High Court action for damages, but does not state specifically what the cause of action is. 

The letter demanded that by Monday 1st October 2007,:-

1. We remove "all postings by a Mr Goh Chee Pheng, and responses thereto by the supporters of Mr Goh in his quest to ruin our client from the forum"; and

2. Ban Mr Goh (forum nickname 'AntonioKane')  from Lowyat.NET 'at root level'.

Background

On 28 August, Goh Chee Phen (AntonioKane), opened a thread in our Trade Zone Helddesk & Dispute Resolution Corner to complain about alleged misleading conduct and bad service provided by Mobile Care Stop.  The gist of the complaint related to Goh's purchase of a AP Sony Ericsson S500i mobile phone.  Goh claims that after 3 days, the keypad cracked.  Goh further alleges that Mr. Kenny Wong, 'manager' of Mobile Care Stop had informed him upon purchase that the phone came with 1 year warranty, and that he just needed to bring the receipt.  

When Goh returned to Mobile Care Stop after 2 days, it is alleged that a Mr. Chris Lau informed him that there was no warranty on the keypad. 

Goh opened a thread in Lowyat.NET as he had come across Mobile Care Stop through a sales thread advertised by Kenny Wong on Lowyat.NET.  For the uninitiated, Lowyat.NET has a 'Trade Zone' where members may open up threads for free to sell or advertise their goods.  

This is not the first complaint among Lowyat.NET users about Mr. Kenny Wong.  A thread was opened several months earlier by another user alleging unethical and unfair business practices.  Lowyat.NET has not verified or ascertained the accuracy of any of these complaints.

Tribunal Case

Goh had lodged a complaint with the Consumer Affairs Tribunal about the practices of Mobile Care Stop and has a hearing date on Tuesday, 2nd October 2007.

Update : The Consumer Affairs Tribunal has rejected the complaint filed by Mr. Goh. We also received a copy of a report from Sri Bermaju Communications Sdn Bhd who handle the warranty of the phone in question. The report states that the damage to the phone was caused by excessive force and hence is not covered by the guarantee.  

Lelong Sales

Mr. Kenny Wong and Mr. Chris Lau also sell their products on auction site, Lelong.com.my.  As it happens, Lelong's forums also contain a thread alleging dishonesty by Mobile Care Stop.

Lesson: Warranty only covers poor materials and workmanship and not item abuse by the owner.

Woohoo...greatly done by LYN! I was almost get conned by these guys from the aforementioned shop. I was in a hurry to get a w850i as present to my fren but after trading in my k700i,and waited 1 day with confirmation - SURE HAVE STOCKS! They called me in the dying minutes of next day and told me still no stock...wtf! It's ok..the trade in value is so much lower compared to the "standard" value. To have chinese lang support, I need to pay this s*** shop extra RM20, only being told when I was there, suck rite? The worst..this guy so called himself as Chris, with very "suck looking" hair..his attitude is unbearable. I was so happy that I managed to get back my k700i intact and I ended up paying much lower $$ in other shop to get my w850i. U SUCK MAN, Mobile Care..perhaps changed your shop name to Money Suck Stop!thumbsdownthumbsdownthumbsdown

Viva LYN!!!
Kudos LYN!!!thumbsupthumbsupthumbsup

I'm very sure Kenny is born with totally no brains. Want to sue me now is it for calling you no brains? PLEEEAASSSEEE LAR!! Here's some advice for you Kenny. Continue with your lawsuit lar. In the end, when every forum and every sales/trade site (Ebay.com.my, lelong.com.my, etc) decide to work together and boycott you, I tell you, you will guarantee have no future business here in Malaysia, maybe even Asia. Unless you want to post your sales on an African or Israeli forum, continue lar with your stupid lawsuit. Really a "potato" in the making. Why not sue Lelong as well for defaming you? What other sites are defaming you, go SUE them lar, chicken s--t!! Why make trouble here, you fag?!?! Go use your tiny, little brain and think lar. Everyone defaming you. Every site defaming you. Don't you think you should look in a bloody mirror and wonder who's wrong here. Really lar you, Kenny. An embarrassment to nature and all the Chinese around the world. It's very sad for those who are associated with you.blue-smiley

Maybe in future, LYN needs some T&C in the register as a member for immunity of any liability? Or maybe hosting this server offshore will help?
Owner of shop: have heard of the word backfired? Your lawsuit will result in many not going to that shop after this. Word of mouth powerful.

What is your action on this Se7en?

clearly this kenny guy already knew that he will definitely lose if he fight straightly against AntonioKane regarding the warranty providing issue, so he use backdoor way by threating to sue LYN...

Kenny just dont get it, he guilty bcoz his bad practice of customer service ( not providing warranty card upon sold )..this is one of thousand way for seller to cheat customer..and kenny`s excuse was `no stock of warranty card`,lame excuse I must say.

You have damaged your own reputation here. No one really defamed you, you defamed yourself. Think about it.

For a RM10++ keypad? D'oh, replacing it is worth than going through all this hassle.
