autobroker - you are an idiot.

Tim(friend of mine) bought the said domain name on behalf of his client, never intending for it to be/stay in his own name. Do you really think he would have put it in his own name if he knew large fraud was going to be perpetrated? It beggars belief that you would think this.

Since Tim did not perpetrate the fraud, and did not beneficially own the domain name, of course he would did not wish to have the domain name stay registered in his name.

Whatever you lost, Tim has lost far, far more from this Richard Bent.

I think this guy has perpetrated this fraud many, many times.
The same guy contacted MY web development company at the time over 4 years ago with the same scam. Luckily we did not proceed with the development at the time. He might do it again.

All this guy needs is someone to open up a Japanese bank account for him, to get a phone number where he an take inquiries, then start selling his “cars”. When the shit hits the fan and people start complaining their car has not yet arrived…. he bilks, then sets up again somewhere.

I am sorry you got ripped off, but it was nothing to do with Tim.

Tim,

If you want to prove to everyone that’s giving you hell that you’re not a liar, and you’ve got nothing to hide, and not involved with the Auto Mart Japan con and your not that wanker, Richard Bent, you should give the names of the police officers and women police officeresses, their contact numbers, brick and mortar addresses of the police stations, email addresses, you said you gave your statements to in Japan and Australia, contact Interpol and post it on your website so that all those who have been ripped off by that disgusting blighter, Bent, could contact them!

I don’t understand how Bent could be on the lam for so long. FoT (Friend of Tim) nippi9 said you (Tim) bought the domain name on behalf of your client, Bent, so you must have a contract, payment, bank statement, documents with Richard Bent’s name on it! Just post the info on your website, give it to the people he has fleeced and hand it over to the police and Interpol and call that George! I don’t understand for the life of me why you would use a name like Frank Costanza on your domain, though. Are you a film buff? The domain name was only created in May 2008, so you can’t be a total knobhead and be taken in by a total stranger like Bent, there must be proof and evidence of his existence. Post a sample email with his address from Bent on your AMJ website and a list of all the people Bent has conned so they can contact the police you called. Crikey!

Re: Tim Worley Weblife Webko Auto Mart Japan Con Scam Fraud Rip-off Byron Bay, NSW Australia.

What’s the matter, Tim and nippi9, cat got your tongues? No sarky twit smart aleck comebacks? I was waiting for you two wiseguy jokers to respond to the Scarlet Pumpernickel’s revelations. Are you afraid with every word you write you might contradict and incriminate yourselves even more? I don’t have to be a prosecutor to ask common-sense questions like these e.g. nippi9: if your riding partner Tim Worley did not beneficially own the domain name, why wasn’t it registered originally under Richard Bent’s name in the first place? If you thought that Richard Bent has perpetrated this fraud many, many times and you knew Bent was the same guy who contacted YOUR web development company, Webko, at the time over 4 years ago with the same scam, why didn’t you inform your good friend, Tim Worley, as you both share the same address at 5/6 Tasman Way Arts and Industry Estate Byron Bay, NSW Post code 2481 Australia? This should be good. Try and wiggle your way out of that!

Tim, for somebody who claims to be owed over US $10K by Bent, your actions are rather strange. Somebody steals US $10K from you and you “let him go to the universe?” Are you some kind of leftover from the hippie era? You can do more if you really want to catch Bent, by following the recommendations of the Scarlet Pumpernickel: put the names, emails and numbers of the police officers you claimed you called on your site. I gave you Interpol’s numbers to contact in my country and you gave some BullS**T about only contacting the police when requested, “I have a feeling that if more is required, it needs to come as a request from the authorities.”

Addendum: Richard Mclachlan Webko Tim Worley Weblife Auto Mart Japan Con Scam Fraud Rip-off Byron Bay, NSW Australia.

By Jove, Watson! I think I may have solved the case of the Invisible Con Man Richard Bent! Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable must be the truth. Let us take another look at the name Richard Bent, shall we lads? After using the modern crime fighting tool, Google, I discovered that Nippi9’s real name is Richard Mclachlan, the owner of Webko. Could the scoundrel Richard Bent be a composite of Richard (Mclachlan) Basanta Moharanta and Tim Worley’s names? RICHARD B-E-N-T. Oh Tim, old boy, your Auto Mart Japan con site is down. Are you working on it?
Jolly good show wot?

Tim, you sure are a professional. A professional con man!

I am not involved in this case in any capacity, but to answer your questions.

1. 81 is the country code of Japan.

2. 03-3581-4321 is the telephone number of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (MPD).

3. “eigo ga dekiru keisatsu kudasai” is one way you can use in Japanese to ask for an English-speaking police officer.

Wanted: Basanta Moharana Wordpress Conman Tim Worley Weblife Auto Mart Japan Con Scam Fraud Rip-off

While on the blood hunt, we have discovered that the real reason con artist Tim Worley changed registrar names for Auto Mart Japan from his own was because of the pressure from scam hunter Autobroker, who unearthed him like a scorpius hiding in the sand. Basanta and Tim Worley are destined to be laser bolaed.

Hi,
I am Priyantha Nakandalage from Daiei International Co.,ltd -Japan.
My web site URL also bit simillar to this
( http://www.japaneseautomart.com )

As a vehicle exporter I am also shamed by thi incident.

Tim Worley ( web designer for this Auto Mart Japan) Please answer following questions and as a technical person you can answer I am sure.

1) You can check the IP address of your client ( through emails he send)
From the IP address japanese police can locate the place
in japan they done the dealings

2)Please inform the date/ bank name/ branch name / sender name
if you got any funds ( I am sure you will not do any work without a deposit to a unknown person )
Japanese police can trace them then

You should go to the Embassy in japan in Australia and make a official complain

Nipp9– I hope you have 9 lives for the unleashing of Indiras Thunderbolt. You, Bassanta and Worley have your fingerprints all over automartjapan and Richard bent. PS: i have added my plane ticket cost to Australiar to the already US3700 + US2000 for replacing my customers car and now US2000 for the plane ticket. Total US7700.00. I have not included the ticket to India cause my P.I is still confirming Basanta’s family. The three of you can run but you cant hide from the cracking of thunder at the dead of night. Enough time has passed fellas, its time to pay now. Tim, this your my final request to hand over bank records, IP addresses and emails you said you received from Bent, i need this deposit information you received from Bent. The clock is ticking. tick tick tick tick tick!!!!!!!!!!

Sherlock Holmes
You are aware that Webko Pty Ltd is a historical web development company that no longer trades? I retired from the web development business, before Weblife existed. But thanks for verifying that yes, I did use to work for web development company as I have claimed to, and that no, I have nothing to do with Weblife.

Pakchat Chogarm
We didn’t proceed with project because we didn’t get it. Perhaps some other company did - how could I possibly know? I don’t even know if he proceeded with it - only interaction with him was a couple of phone calls, I don’t recall if we even got a business name at the time.

Autobroker
Everything possible, has already been provided to the Police in Japan, Australia and Interpol. The police are not looking at Tim as a suspect, or me. By all means contact the Police anywhere and tell them what has happened and send them to the Weblife office.

Let me get this straight. You think Tim took the money, for hundreds of cars, and did so whilst operating a bricks and mortar business where anyone can come and find him? You think this is more plausible than him being paid to set up a website and getting ripped off and conned himself?

By all means contact the Australia, US, Japanese Police, and Interpol. INSIST they take the matter on that you are sick of getting the run around. The guy who has conned everyone, is relying on it being put in the too hard basket by each country’s police. INSIST the police investigate and come and interview Tim, have a look at his records etc,

Should the police contact Tim, I will also provide statements if they want them.

So stop playing with your clock and going on about the thunder coming out of your crack.

I appreciate you are carefully wording your threats so they are difficult to legally prove. Do note Australian Customs only require evidence of someone being unfit to enter the country to refuse them entry.

Aahhh! Welcome nippi9 and Tim! You honour us with your presence!Please, have some Pavlova! Why can’t I have some fun with youse guys? I’m paying tribute to you,after all , youse guys came up with Auto mart Japan, Richard Bent, Mark Simons, Simon Paul, Frank Costanza etc. Stay up all night if you want, now I choose the time and place.

Dear Tim,

**It s hard to beleive you erased the emails he send
as you also a creditor.

**Anyhow you must have funds receiving bank documents for any money you received ( or did you do a free website and $10000 free google ppc)

You also have to be responsible for this kind of things.
I know a Kenyan lady nearly in divorce with her rhusband because of this matter

PLEASE HELP THE POOR INNOCENT PEOPLE

Hi Priyantha!
What did I tell you about Tim Worley? I shoulda sez good luck if you get Tim Worley to give you straight answers!nyuk nyuk nyuk!

Not at all Tim. I have several buyers for this Auto Mart Japan scam story. The longer it drags on the better the paycheck. I’ve met friends driven by dharma/ right action and righteous indignation united to bust the scammers behind Auto Mart Japan and to help the poor people receive their adequate compensation ten fold.
Besides, I just got the book The Art of War by Sun Tzu and acid testing and applying some of the principles on military treatise to see if they’ll work against cons. Book say: “drive enemy crazy by using unorthodox methods and tactics and attack when least expected.”

Tim, Perry Mason, here, Charles’ co. attorney. In layman’s terms slander is a false report uttered against someone’s character. My client has not uttered one false statement about your conduct and actions that you did or did not do concerning this case, which may be clashing with the veneer and image you want to portray of yourself as a respectable and honest businessman.

If con happen on Japanese soil, criminals must be punish in Japan! If Japan go back to simpler time, feudal time, boil criminals alive in iron cauldron like king bandit Ishikawa Goemon.

oh.. And BTW - surely the japanese police could START by looking into the bank account and mobile number used and referred to in the first post of this email… or is that too difficult?

Or has no-one one even bothered to contact the Tokyo police themselves?

Nippi9, you should get out more and expand your horizons beyond those old entertainers’ names you like to use. To paraphrase William Shatner, “Get a life!” FYI I am not Han Solo from Star Wars, I am Han from Bruce Lee’s Enter the Dragon! Where are you and Tim going? You are scheduled in today’s tournament. Would you be good enough to participate in this morning’s edification?
Funny thing you should mention Bush, nippi9 because you sound like the Aussie equivalent of what we call a redneck or bigot, or most likely to wear white sheets and burn crosses and people.
I was happy Obama won the elections, I believe that some of Bush’s Doctrine should be kept however e.g. keeping Guantanamo Prison open to throw the Auto Mart Japan con men in.

Tim nippi9 where you go? Battle of epic proportions about to begin. Do not run from battle-field like geisha or girly man. Take arrows in front of helmet not in back running away.

I forget say golden age in Japan when samurai have wonderful time allow use condemn criminals for sword testing and target practice.

To paraphrase Basanta: Wah? Wah do I you? What hapen, I Dont know and not understanding any thing, because I don’t know anything about the scam and automart. I am only poor guy get con from Bent. Please left me from that. I sure gaijin Bent no like third world jail though.

Hi All,
I am living in Japan for 22 years and studied Business law in a Japanese university.
I am running a car Export company http://www.japaneseautomart.com

This Company cheated people ( Auto Mart Japan) seem to be not a registered company under Japanese law as you cannot see there name as Co.,Ltd or Corporation.

I wonder why the Japanese police take so much time to arrest people involved in this scam.

They can easily trace the people behind from following
things.

** Anyone want to start a bank account in Japan have to produce Japanese ID card, Passport or alian registration card. If Japanese police visit the bank and trace the original documents they can trace who started the bank account for Auto Mart Japan.

From that they can try to trace the people behind.

** Japanese banks have camera system so they can easily find the photos of the people involved.

Perhaps Tim never made a report to the Japanese police in the first place?

I sent a letter addressed to:

President Katsunori Nagayasu,
C/o The Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd,
2-7-1 Marunouchi,
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo,Japan

in January and received a reply from the PR of the Bank, a Mr. Kondo. He said I should write to the Ueno bank branch and request the information on who emptied that Auto Mart Japan account and whose names it was registered under. I told him that Interpol in my country told me that they are working on it and would communicate with the Japanese police.

It might go faster if everyone who got conned would write two letters each, one to the president of the bank and the second to the bank branch to let them be aware of how many people have been scammed. What do you think? How can we improve on this?

Can anyone on the ground in Japan furnish us with a senior manager of that bank branch who can speak English or an E-mail?

Can we interest the Japanese newspapers and/or English newspapers in Japan in this Auto Mart Japan con story to give them some more exposure? A lot of research went into that scam. It was no coincidence that they chose that name to reflect your company’s own, Priyantha.

We can pitch it as The Aussie Answer To Nigerian Scams.

Charles, you a f*&^%ng idiot. You know II have emailed you the relevant documents. All this info was sent to you in december,December, and you know damn well this is the case.

Re the local Byron Bay police - ring them yourself and ask them there (+612 6685 9499). I had 2 constables out to the office to discuss the issue with Richard Bent and also the threatening emails from the guy at autosales. As I said numerous times, I have let go of it all, and probably just threw the card in the bin at the end of the day.

For everyone else, this is all the info I have. I hope it helps.

——— follow up email

Dear Tim
Nice talking to you and the delay that occured in contacting you, I sincerely apologise for that.

Our website should have 5 pages or 6.
1. about us
2. what we do
3. contact us
4. testimonials
5. why deal with us
6. stock list

the first 5 pages are fixed with no change of information on them.

for the sixth page, we need content management. this will be the stock list page.

we should be able to add, delete or modify the vehicle when we buy a new car, or sell one or negotiating with customers and want to hold the car.

when customer clicks on the stock list page, he sees a page with our stock. in a scroll down pattern. one car small picture and its short details but must have a stock number.
when customer clicks on the picture, he goes to other page where there are 6 or 7 pictures of the car with more details. if the details are in a box form, they look better. we will send you info about it later. out of these 6 or 7 pictures of the same car, one picture is large, others are small. when customer clicks on small pictures, the picture grows larger
there is a place there on this page asking fill the following to send enquiry.
it asks customer to write his name, country, port name, email address and short comment. and then click to send enquiry. when the send is clicked, it should say thank you for your enquiry, we will contact you in 24 hours. but he should remain on the stock list page so that he can browse other vehicles if he wants.
on the first stock list page, the car stock number should be there, when he goes to second page the stock number is mentioned there too, and when he sends enquiry about a particular vehicle, the stock number appears automatically.
for these resizing of the pictures, please make sure that we dont have to resize the picture but after we load it, it should be done automatically.
for the email box, I personally like the squirrelmail. please inform if you can do this for us.
I want a simple, attractive and fast loading website. we will keep approximately 120 vehicles in stock. so the first page if scroll down pattern, 120 vehicles are too much, so you can change them into 10 or 15 or 20 vehicles per page and make more pages.

please visit the site http://www.prestigecarfinders.com.au
I like the colours of this website because one’s eyes dont get tired, they are so nice. I dont insist on these colours but I love them, dont know if you can make such colours.

second website is http://www.japaneseusedcarsale.com

I like this site but its alphabet size is too small. if you can make little larger. I like their stock list page style, but when you go to next page to see more pictures, they have automatic moving pictures, changing from one to the other. there is no need to make it like that. only when customer wants to see other pictures, he clicks on small pictures below and the above picture changes.

please give cost and as soon as you can finish the website would be a great favour. by 30 june, but if you can do it around 20th june, that would be great because we need time to upload pictures as well.

the content management should be very easy. we click to go to content management page, it asks us 3 things. want to add new car, modify car or delete car. we click which we want and it asks us to fill in the blanks, then it asks us to click to add images. the car is loaded to the site. very simple method please.

please send the cost and also send us following information required for remittance.

bank name. this should be complete name of bank.
branch name. please mention branch name.
swift code. this is bank swift code. there are so many codes so if you do not know, please contact your bank and they will tell you. mistake cause delays.
branch code. if you have bank branch code number. please provide.
city where the branch is.
your name in which the account is.
I will make this remittance quickly today. please inform how much should be paid now.
thank you
Mark (or my partner simons will contact you)

— last contact from him
The last I heard from him was on the 29/8.

That email comprised the following:

“Dear Tim

Yes it was me who deleted the cars, they are all sold out.

I have been chosen as a dealer by BMW and we are now changing our website contents all to only bmw cars, new and used.

after deletion of cars, I got very busy and could not send you email.

can you please stop adwords google.

I have been trying for this dealership for past 3 and half years. we are so lucky we finally got it.

we have to make a whole new website, infact they have their own designers but I have convinced them that I will seek your help in this regard and it is officially approved by them.

for time being please delete the whole stock even from sold out. except 7, we sold all vehicles and these 7 are going to auction for sale next week.

I have to focus on many things.

There is no need for announcement because one of my friend wants a website and I need your help. shall we give this website to him and make the new one for us? I think that would be better.

He is asking for ownership rights for this site, I dont know if this is possible.

For new website for us, I will send you contents today.

Thank you
Mark“

***** After this email, I have received no contact at all. I did not believe at first that he had run away , because the contents of the email were left so open ended. I took a while for me to admit to myself that we were stung by him.

As you can see, he called himself Mark also.

The two payments I received for invoices for work done by us were from a bank account in Japan (I assume) and the only details I see in my bank account say “SWIFT CREDIT-DUSAN KOCMU “. The police would need to speak to my bank directly to get more info from them if they have it.

Oh, and also, the original emails I received from him were from his supposed “friends” email address which was by the name of Simon Paul from Sapporocars@gmail.com.

**** So there you have it, all the info I really have on him.

T

It appears as if just about everything that needs to be said on this topic has been said here, so we are closing comments on this topic.
