Someone from online told me that he sent me a parcel and provided the tracking number and link ask to track. Then I received emails from [protected]@skynetcs.net/[protected]@skynetcs.net and phone calls/SMSes +[protected] / +[protected] saying that I have a parcel which is put on hold by customs. I received couple of calls which really ruined my day and they keep pushing for payments where I do not have times to think twice. I was panic and run to the banks for cash advance. Skynet officer promised that third payment is the final payment and will deliver the parcel on Saturday. However, when I check with them the status they said will deliver once the UN cert is obtained and did not update me for the weekend. I tried to ask for their office address but they reluctant to provide, said that the sender has paid for the delivery at all cost. During the weekend, when I re-think and re-think and just realizing that I have been conned but it is too late. When I go back to the tracking line, just found out that a lot of the hyperlinks are broken. They can also provide fake official receipts by Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia and Royal Malaysian Customs Department. I hope no more victim like me.

But thanks God n all thanks to u n ur post, I didn't send the money they asked for.. Instead I wrote back to him saying that I give him full authorization to make the payment using the money provided in the package :P and they have been trying to call me since but I didn't answer the calls. Once again, thanks for the post!

My supplier was posted the item on 10th May 2016, when we call the customer service skynet at ss13 they was no answer. As a customer we have the right to call and asking about the delivery. Today already 17th May 2016 and we still didnt get the item. Kindly refer to the photo for the item tracking number.
Is there anyway, we can raise up the company to the government to strip off this unethical company service license? I am so fed up with their service and especially their operator. I never received my parcel but their tracking system shown delivered, i tried to call to their customer service to find out who took my parcel but they've not giving me any solid answer and did not provide me a copy of the consignment note.
The items arrived skynet on 23/07 but until today (27/07) still not yet received. I call them on 26/07 but they say they will deliver on 26/07. I call them once again today (27/07), they answer impolitely that they will deliver today. What a lousy service this is.
The items never arrived my place since 12 aug 2016 until today (16/8/2016). I call them on 15 aug 2016 but they say they will deliver on same day, but never arrive.I call them once again today 16 aug 2016 in the morining, the head office oic (ms bella) promised to deliver as soon as possible but until now 5pm my parcel is still not reached yet ! she also promised me that kl branch ppl will update me the status but i never get a call from them at all !
