His ploy was exposed by one of his victims, known as Rahsid, who bought a car from him after getting to know him through a chat forum on the Internet.Rashid, 39, claimed he met the man at a restaurant and was offered a Toyota Wish at RM55,000.After settling the payment by cash, Rashid was given a grant, which he later realised had two registration numbers.He said he checked the status of the car with the Road Transport Department but there was no problem with it.Dissatisfied, he then checked the status of the car with the bank and was shocked to find out that the original owner still owed money to the bank and that the car registration number and colour had been changed.He contacted the man and asked for his money to be refunded after he returned the car, which was agreed to by the man.Rashid later lodged a report at Seksyen 6, Shah Alam police station.</blockquote>
