Any updates?
Yep, good to hear, get the ####er prosecuted.
Any updates?
Hi all,
(how did I not find this forum before?!)
Approx 40 people are down about $25,000 in the Yadnum Computer scam alone! And Michael Munday is 'allegedly' still doing it - 2 years later.
There's information about the Yadnum scam here:
Three of us have been communicating with the police and we're collecting evidence to "prove he intended to defraud us", ie: premeditated.
Please log on and add how much your down to help us AND YOU!
The more people that supply a Statutory Declaration to the police the better. It's a little of your time, compared to the time he might get. Fraud carries a maximum jail term of 10 years. He deserves it.
Contact Fairfield Police - Investigation E36901744.
From the Police:
"It is clear from our correspondence that you are not satisfied with the outcome of the investigation undertaken by Detective FENWICK or my initial review of the matter. This is unfortunate and is at times an unavoidable part of police work. I am however prepared to give you an undertaking that I will review the website that you have referred me to and that I will also retrieve the original case file from archives and review the material. Please understand that this in no way guarantees that the investigation will be re-opened or that action will be taken against MUNDAY. Please also understand that I am unable to give you a time frame as to when this review will be undertaken or completed. It may take some time."
It's taken 2 years so far ... now is the best time to contact the police and keep them on it - if you've given up, DON'T. You might just save someone else from getting ripped off!
cheers.
(and if you're reading this Michael, you should have refunded me.)
Does anyone have any information if MM is still in NSW?
I have an order from NSW OFT. Is it worth going to the court and pay $65?
Must prove it was premeditated to convict MUNDAY of fraud. The more victims who come forward, the better. 10 year maximum jail for fraud in Australia.
He's "alledgedly" stolen at least $25,000 and is still doing it. If you got ripped off, please contact Fairfield Police NSW: Investigation E36901744.
Hey edgeman,
Do you have a contact email for that investigation?
Personally I would fall off my chair if the law nabs the pig; he continues to do this because he knows the law book inside and out. There is so many out their like him. I was ripped off 8 grand by sh-t like him and he continues to do it today [wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same scum bag...]
Around 4 years ago I received a call from the feds that were on his tail, we spoke at length and he asked if I was prepared to travel to Sydney to testify. At my own expense I would have dropped everything and been the first one there, did l EVER hear from the Feds? NO.
That’s why pigs like him continue to steal from decent people.
Det. Sergeant Mick Horan gave us an undertaking he would look into the case again, contact details follow. It has encouraged us to continue to gather evidence and contact other victims to encourage them to come forward, something the police SHOULD be doing. PROVING his premeditated intent to deceive isn't easy, but the more victims that step up and provide signed Statutory Declarations the better, especially if they are from previous or more recent scams. There is a lesser fraud charge for recklessness, which we believe we have more than enough evidence to prove: his bait advertising when he had no or very limited stock, then taking off for 4 weeks and failing to fill his orders or refund money, but if we can show there was a predetermined intent to defraud, the penalty is much greater. Cheers.

How could his fraud not be premeditated? He had advertised a product. He has received payment, he has never sent the goods.
It looks premeditated, It smells premeditated,
...........
"In order to prove that a Fraud has occurred and therefore a criminal offence has occurred I am required to satisfy a NSW Magistrate or Jury beyond a reasonable doubt that all the proofs of the offence have occurred. In addition to that I am also required to prove that the accused had an intention to commit the offence ("Mens Rea").
" As I mentioned previously and you have also highlighted below, one of, and the most important proofs of a fraud offence is that there was an intention to deceive (including recklessness). If I can not prove this, then I can not prove the offence.
"In relation to the price the item was advertised for being 'too good to be true' I am unaware what Mr MUNDAYS ordering practices are in relation to his business. There are a number of explanations as to why Mr MUNDAY may have been offering this product at a price cheaper than his competitors. The explanation provided to Det FENWICK by MUNDAY did not relate to his inability to supply enough of the product in a reasonable time due to the price." from Det. Serg. Haran.
As has been stated by thatslife: "he continues to do this because he knows the law book inside and out." I'm sure he also knows that people who lost less than $500 aren't likely to pursue him due to the time and expense involved in Civil action or the hassle of individually convincing the police to charge him.
I believe Munday's actions were premeditated, but there must be proof - beyond a reasonable doubt. Munday knows this and has his own story, which includes his Paypal account being frozen resulting in his inability to refund his customers. I did not pay via Paypal, yet I still haven't received a refund two years later, much like at least 40 others.

update:
ive invested almost 20-26 hours of time collating data and writing up a report to hand over to the police (basically doing their job for them)
im just going over the report now, making sure its as tight as possible
this is the ultimate guide chronicling almost everything we know about munday; names, dates, amounts scammed - the works
there have been a number of police complaints lodged against munday (at least 3, maybe 4-5)
dozens of his victims have lodged complaints with CTTT, ASIC, OFT
a few people have won tribunal cases against him, only to send the sheriff around to his house and find he has hidden or is lying about his assets
presenting this report to det. haran in NSW is pretty much the last ditch effort to convince the police he is not a failed businessman, but a scammer
the report just piles evidence upon evidence of shading behavior. in addition, many questions are asked about mundays actions which go towards indicating his dubious actions
one of the biggest reasons police havent acted is they have said it was a low priority
now that almost two years have passed, they can no longer use that excuse. no problem; the police should first see to murders, rapes, muggings, bashings... first things first right? no one would argue about that
but 2 years on; time to handle this fraud boys in blue...
LM
Maybe try the media if you dont get anywhere. ACA/TT love this sort of shit...

I had an interesting meeting during the week.
Details soon
I know for a fact that michael munday committed credit card fraud to to value of $35,000.00 on his own brother, his parents were involved, then on top of that he stole $4,500.00 from his 10 month old nephew from his trust fund..
What a shocker I’m surprised this moron hasn’t had his head bashed in.
I hope his no one’s a father...
he keeps getting away with it , thanks to our lax criminal system. what a joke
karma will come around and get him and his wife eventually as well as anyone else involved
i'm surprised he still has a passport , should have taken it off him as offences rack up.
