Hi SEAJ

Thank you very much for the reminder, information and suggestion.

May i ask you 1 question?

Who is/are the crooks here in batam thread?

From your post "they would be trying to break in here now.", seems like you know who is/are the "they"...

So please enlighten me/us by providing some names, i am sure that will be the best solution at this moment..

Without names, your post are actually meaningless as what you indicated as follow:

"Its practically impossible to spot some of them."

You can spot them easily, when they attack his post. Anyway, he himself says, ignore them.

Anyways I was at Batam yesterday and I saw a vacant house for Rent at Bengkong and 1 at Prima Garden next to GoldenPrawn.
I think standard is $150-$300 a month depend on the size and location.

300, you can get a house with 2 bedrooms. As foreigner, I do suggest finding a safer area with security guards/post.

Hehehe...to me,the 1st to pop the GQ shows desperation,and do not gain the upperhand in bargaining.

Thats why i dont have the habit to pop GQ,hehehe...

Thank you bro.

Too bad i couldnt join you cos you are on weekend trip. I dont like visiting Batam during weekends,hehehe...less bargaining power,more crowded and some uncertainties level etc etc. To me,its less fun too...lol.

Its already my 3rd day,heading back to Sillypore soon,and this trip is almost confirmed not better than my last one.

Good news is,next trip on May will likely be BETTER!!

____________

Booking girl left an hour ago (945am indo time),just back from Indo rasa to request for an hour of in-hotel-room massage...last few hours in Batam and i know i gonna make full use of it.

Waiting for massage girl as i type this (1042am indo time).

That's precisely the point!
I can name and shame them - which of course requires a lot of diplomacy and time - and then all they do is to come up with another nick/clone. And start all over again, or worse, just take up the mantle and build on the confusion.

I have time and again done this, and all it does is to further misalign me as a the one who causes the havoc on threads.

My post is only meaningless if you choose to ignore it - which is fine - and if you cannot understand that these are well organized crook gangs with unlimited resources/time/cohorts/clones who have so many tricks up their sleeves. So yeah, best to just ignore most posts, even including mine, because these crooks WILL seize upon any response as their opportunity to further their crooked agenda.

Agreed... I rented my current house at 40 juta for 1 year, which works out to 3.3 juta (S$350) per month... Fully furnished 3-bedroom house in a secured estate with security guards, clubhouse and swimming pool...

Electricity & water at about $60 per month, and Indovision for $30 per month...

Absolutely hated Gideon Hotel. Stayed there once in 2013 when they were newly opened and everything sucked; AC was not cold, wifi signal was weak and breakfast was crap with so little selection. Surprised that u managed to fill up half tank...

Glad u went to try the noodles at Instar... How was it, good recommendation..?

The Indovision at your area considered very high... Maybe it due to the maintenance of the clubhouse and pool. Usual house with Security Roughly $10 from what i seen.

Currently paying 2.45 juta per month, maybe will join you when time comes..

Do they require the marriage cert there?

Ok, for your benefit KohOnly21, as well as others, I’ll give you an example on the diplomacy – and time wasted - required to uncover these crooks.

First note his stats – registered 2005 but with only 46 posts, MOST just total lightweight pfaff all over various threads, no head no tail, in order to keep this nick current and for his other clones to upz. Staying under the radar for 10 YEARS! Think about this!

Then I need to ask questions….nicely! OK, here goes!

For massage so far try …..
For ktv and pub been to .
Also try gold …

Oh wow counch, I thought you read nono’s posts AND you are an old hand in Batam and walk all over.
Why would you need to ask if newberry close to Formosa? I thought you stayed there previous?
Just curious.

Most of the time will walk to the house been to goldbird, memory, new berlian, new berry, i dah permata 2 , mm2 indan permata, dynasty, queen.
Also been to pacific, newton, noname, and m1 ktv.
Will likely be making 4th visit next week.

Hmmmm…. You keep on writing about KTV’s huh?
Wanna have others join you huh?
LOL! Booking joints etc. too low revenue!
But WOW, I guess you know Batam and all the hotspots well huh?
You’d be great for newbies to hang around with…. But watch out!
Some of these pretending to be newbies will instead sucker you in!!
Haha!

Wanton mer! LOL
So wanton!
And so funny that a favorite question by crook agents posing as newbies is to ask innocently, about……. Wonton mee!
Hilarious!

…

Ahh… taking your friend to a KTV huh?
You sure that your friend supposedly “entertaining” his associates is not just a stealth agent pretending as a regular guy to fleece these associates? How close a friend are you guys??

And sorry…. Just curious!

>
>
And on and on ….. and depending on how much time and effort has been put in to “validating” this nick/clone, there will either be more discussions/righteous indignation or this guy will just slink away….. and another nick/clone just pops up.

And please do note that this is only just 1 amongst the quite a few more here, that has set my spidey sense tingling!

SEAJ

PS - Suggest/Best if you will just ignore this as well as other posts which should also set your own spidey sense tingling! No point/will walk straight into their trap by causing havoc here.
PPS - if you are interested on how to uncover crooks, you may want to also read the following on how I uncovered vsat - http://thesbf.shop/showpos...ostcount=24929

Indovision is cable TV, KohOnly21.. Just like for SCV in Singapore, the price is dependent on what package u sign up + the various add-ons, eg HBO channels, etc... My package comes up to a total of 290k per month... Does not come inclusive of porn channel..

Yes, I pay a monthly estate maintenance fee as well.. It's 225k per month...

SEAJ

Batam don't need these people. They have their own. Anyway, this thread has a lot of information already. Bro Nono information is very useful, and KTV here do not need them to introduce.

Further more, the prices here are much cheaper and unless they considering living here, the money they try to make from such tactics you mention will not be able to cover them in Singapore.

Thank Bro Nono
