Some times when I read the article about computer crime and story about fraud in internet , I think this event is only for others and it is not happening for me. As an IT expert that work around 10 years in this area this story that I am going to explain for you is the first Computer fraud for me in my life. Maybe the title and issue of incident in not related to Harassment and stalking but in my viewpoint hundred percent it can be relate to the Ethics in computer.
Because of my experience and field study (IT and software and web design) one week ago my friend talk to me and request from me to register a domain under name of www.raex.com.my and take 500 MB host for his company. This company is the first Iranian-Malaysian Courier Services in Malaysia that can send the letter and boxes to the all over the world and it wants to be like FedEx and DHL. ( but in small scale). Due to lake of information about the company that work in Malaysia I went to the google and search about Domain & Host register company ( because my previous experiences for Host & Domain registration were not in Malaysia , so I didn’t have any information about it ) .
I saw some company in google and I checked the ranking of them and finally I choose some of them to contact and talk to the for registeration. if you search these key words in google ( domain register in Malaysia) you find this company ( domain register) in the first seven of the result.
I should explain one important point and it is that one of the very famous and trusted website that do the domain register is www.Domainregistery.com.my ( very close and near spell to the fraud company , only with one Y different at the end !!) .
Unfortunately because of emergence and my friend little time , he force me to buy H&D from one of them. As my experience I choose the first company with the name of MSC Domain Management in www.domainregister.com.my address.
After we select the package and fill information for register our domain after 2 min an invoice was come to my email account that said we should pay the 214.70 RM to MSC Domain Management Maybank account. everything is real and we didn’t think it could be a fraud.( shame to a computer engineer !!) 
we paid 214.70 RM from my Maybank account with internet banking and send the information for this website … but !!!!! after 10 days nothing happened and if you see any domain and host we were see. I think me and my friend sent around 20 emails and pm to this website but nobody answer us. everything look like a real website but in real nothing in true.
No need to say the continue of story , only it is good to know after 5 days we request from one of my friend to register domain but this time without internet and we want to see the physical office of the registration company. And finally we registered this is my friend website www.raex.com.my(The courier Services in Malaysia) with only 145 RM !!
My pont in this story is that sometimes we are note attention to our searching in the internet. Sometimes Internet and its information is not trusted information. You see every things is real and with very nice and beautiful face but in behind of this happy and nice face there is a unethical and vicious person or people who misuse from our trust to this environment.( Internet).
According to the Malaysian THE COMPUTER CRIMES ACT 1997 the following table is some Computer Crime and their Penatly for them.When I search and see their sections , I think raw 4 ant its punishment could be related to my case …

But unfortunately I don’t have any power to go and find this company because I asked from one of my friend that study in UTM in Johor Bahru for this company address and after his tracing he said this address ( the address in top of invoice in not valid and we don’t have any building with this name on the Johor !!
That’s all … and my 214.70 RM was gone…
Strikingly well executed writing!!
That was some illuminating piece!
Youre totally correct on this blog!!!
