John Stan was very, very prolific on FB groups, and does seem to have disappeared.I'm writing as a warning to others. John Stan of All Laptop Macbook Repair has been around Phnom Penh and advertising his services all year. Two weeks ago, all contact info (WhatsApp, Linkedin, Facebook) for John disappeared and he still has our laptop. If he should reappear in Cambodia, be wary of using his services for computer repairs.

Yeah, that's what it looks like, but the doofus admin of that FB group apparently knows John Stan and thinks people should wait A MONTH before labeling John Stan a scammer. Because maybe John hit his head and is in the hospital and has amnesia and has just forgotten to return the MacBook. Or something like that.

No, doofus is someone else. He's a known commodity and usually not a doofus, but the power of being an admin on seventeen different Cambodia-related Facebook groups has gone to his head.GB8 wrote:Maybe "doofus admin" is John Stan.

I hear that John Stan is Russian. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm not suggesting that many Russians in Cambodia are dodgy.

I met this guy at a Cafe next to Brooklyn Pizza last year to try and have him fix a noisy/low rpm cooling fan in my wife's laptop. He brought tools with him and took the laptop apart with ease. His girlfriend was with him. They are both Russian. He wasn't the friendliest top bloke and for trying to run a business, seemed a bit agitated and grumpy. His girlfriend, who was knowledgeable about computers (said she was a Software Engineer.) installed some sketchy looking anti malware on my laptop which I removed asapgavinmac wrote:I hear that John Stan is Russian.

Something was a bit off about the dude.
Why would anyone leave a laptop with some expat repair guy who doesn't even have a brick and mortar shop?
Anyone who doesn't like Capitalism is a pathetic loser. God bless the USA and no place else.

So either possibly da, or vodka induced disappearance then?

No expat in Cambodia should ever be entrusted with anything of value.

For computer repair I recommend Golden at 462 Kampuchea Krom. They have always been competent and honest with me. I dont know if they repair Apple though. They also sell used equipment.

He was indeed usually a doofus but he's now more than ever.
Time to create another expat forum at FB...
Proudly sent from my Gameboy by Super Mario using Kakaplok.
From the Cambodia Scammers Facebook Page two days ago regarding John Stan:
I think this is the guy that I used once. He is a scammer. He also took a copy of all my data so if you have any passwords etc saved go and change all your online logins. I asked him to fix something simple, he copied my data, wiped the computer and then told me I had to buy a new hard drive. It was a Mac so as if I would buy it from him! I took my Mac from him, told him and his skanky girlfriend to get out of my office and had to pay him $20 to do so. He doesn't know what he is doing and I assume everything he does is a scam
"The final straw actually involved my mortal enemy vladimir, who you may or may not know is an insufferable, overposting asshat."
That's a pretty harsh review. Surely he's a good bloke.
