NotesYOUR ONLINE FRIEND WAS NOT ARRESTED AT THE AIRPORT.
YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED.


Have you been having conversations online with someone you've never met before who claims to live in the UK? Has he told you that he will come to visit you in Malaysia? And now is he frantically contacting you because he are being held at the airport, and needs you to pay a fine so he can be freed?

It is a scam. There is no romance, and there is nobody being detained at KLIA. The same person who was chatting online with you was also chatting online with many other victims. They are trying to trick you into sending money to an accomplice. Once you have sent the money they will disappear forever. Every year these scammers bilk unsuspecting victims out of thousands of ringgit. Don't be one of them.

Scammers are trained and learn how act like a psychiatrist. They will pick your brains and really get into your head. Afterall, they will convince you that they are your new best friend and perhaps lover. They will learn all of your personal information, about your finances, about your family. Why? Because you will be the one to tell them as you open your heart to them. They have all the time in the world to sit and chat with you online and perhaps over the phone. Why? Because they know you are lonely and looking for a friend. This is what they do. When they know they have your trust, they will start asking for just that one favor and it will have to do with money. They already know or are hoping you are groomed enough to be willing to send it to then. And once you do that, your nightmare will become, because the requests will never stop coming. They will always have another excuse and need just one more favor.....of course, it will usually be for some fabricated emergency. They need money for medical, someone was in an accident or needs assistance, and of course they will want help with airfare just so they can be with you. Trust me, I've heard it all and I've helped with much of this stuff. I was once asked for just one favor.........here are my receipts to prove that. Once you send them a one time assistance for money, you have just become their ATM machine. Why did I do it? I thought we were the greatest team since sliced bread. I thought he truly loved me and couldn't wait to get here. He assured me I would be paid back the minute he got here. Guess what? I was wrong on all 3 accounts.

NEVER SEND MONEY!

Malaysia Romance scammers
Translation by Google
A savvy scammer used the Internet Pilfered photographs of former Prime Minister Yves Leterme to make the head spin unsuspecting women on Facebook and turn on to transfer large amounts. But also men are victims of dating fraud. As Jurgen Luff, a 43-year maintenance technician from Wetteren. He sold his house and collapsed 120 000 euro to a woman he had fallen in love head over heels. Without knowing how she looks real. "I can not believe myself that I'm so carried away."
"It was a British businesswoman who I fell in love," sighs Jurgen Luff. "They called Gerardina Hewitt Welsh. Though I realize now that she has a different name and is not a business woman but an unscrupulous con artist. And that the picture on her Facebook profile might be another woman. "
When I ask him how much money he has lost his love, he sighs deeply. "All together 120,000 euros. Paid in 23 payments over a period of nearly two years. Always promised again 'my internet friend' that this time would be solved all its problems and that she would come to me so that we could live together and be happy forever. And I believed her, the loving fool I was! Until they reached the 24th time money early. Then it finally penetrated my friends who had advised me to deposit any money it might sometimes might have got it right. "
"I lost 120 000 euro to a woman I've never seen"
Jayne, who has two children aged 10 and 18 years from his previous marriage, it is now difficult to make ends meet. He has two months lost contact with Gerardina Hewitt Welsh. "But I dare not say that if they contact me again, I'm immune to it," he confesses honestly. "I want someone pays for the fraud and losses played fortune but I'm not sure I can give her the boss. she is so incredibly cunning ... "
Pay 23 times
It started two years ago, however, all so promising for Jurgen. "I was divorced a year and registered on dating Rendez-Vous," he says.
"Typical," said Tim Cools, Deputy Head of Internet investigation by the federal police who know the phenomenon well. "The crooks search the Internet for vulnerable victims. It could be someone who recently had to handle a divorce or the death of the partner. But still, a woman who has been married for 40 years and for whom the sudden attention of a sweet, handsome-looking foreigner breaks the routine and let budding romantic feelings. "
Jurgen Luff was on the dating site itself contacted by "the British businesswoman." "After two or three messages she asked me to come to her Facebook page."
Jurgen gasped and walked the next few weeks with open eyes into a trap that slowly but surely pulled close around him. "First there were the usual conversations. Then Gerardina had occasionally noticed that she liked me and cool. Until she said she'd had met me. The problem was that she was in Malaysia. She was there as a buyer of her company that trades in gold. But was due to a problem with the collection of traveler's checks them equally without cash. She asked if I could deposit 300 euros so they could buy food. I did too much. But it did not stop at. Could I perhaps also stopped her hotel expenses and staff that worked to pay for her until she had money again? Then it was the security people had to be paid to guard the gold they had purchased. There was always something. "
Documents
"I lost 120 000 euro to a woman I've never seen"

The deeply in love Jurgen was sloply dragged into a downward spiral that cost him more and more money. "It was all played very convincingly. Everything she could show me documents. She had me also 10 percent shareholder exercised its business. At one point I had to deposit tens of thousands of euros on an English bank to release a large sum attached. I was forwarded a website of the bank, a code to log in and then a summary of my account. Just really, everybody. Until after three attempts did not return the money and the bank suddenly disappeared from the Internet. When she asked me then to a final deposit, I had enough. I replied that I would not do it, how they got very angry and even disappeared from the Internet. Since then I have heard nothing more about it. "

"Chances are it's going to scammers from Nigeria or Ghana," said Detective Tim Cools. "They operate in groups from Internet cafes and are almost impossible to find, especially since cooperation with these countries is virtually nil. Too bad, because last year 500 people filed a complaint with the police for dating fraud. On average they lost 25,000. The victims are not all marginal people. On the contrary, the scammers are out to prey who have money. There are doctors to lawyers, a physiotherapist who has lost 300,000 euros. Sometimes it leads to major human tragedies. One person we almost literally under the ready to save hanging rope ".
Nevertheless likes Tim Cools that the police still have too little attention to the phenomenon. "All too often the victim is walking sent back by the police. Eigens debt, thick hump, you know. "
Jurgen had hitherto little help. "The police Wetteren has done a good job. But they told me they needed the prosecutor to find out who was behind the fraud. And showed me the office of Dendermonde know that no action will give my case because "not important enough for follow-up and investigation." I should imagine civil party but I currently do not have any money ... "

There may also change now former Prime Minister Yves Leterme was abused by fraudsters dating. Facebook Leterme has two sections. On both adorns same picture. he only called in one Yves Leterme, and on the other Lorentz Scholvin. Is not he born in Ypres but in Geneva. And he gives himself out as a banker at the Swiss National Bank. A banker with extensive connections in addition, as evidenced by the photo that Scholvin (Leterme so) together with state King Albert.
"Clearly the work of a friendship fraudster" says Tim Cools.
"I lost 120 000 euro to a woman I've never seen"
The false account of one Lorentz Scholvin, using photographs of Yves Leterme
https://www.facebook.com/agnesvandersa.bistaklim
https://www.facebook.com/yves.leterme.7906

Contacted by us, Yves Leterme falls from the sky. "Thank you for bringing me know but I knew the phenomenon not even know," he tells us from Stockholm, where its headquarters are located IDEA, the international think tank for which the former prime minister is working. Leterme gave Tuesday instructed to contact Facebook with the demand to remove the fake account. "I will discuss this week with my lawyer to take any further steps against it."
Naturally, every Belgian notes stroke the account of "Lorentz Scholvin" is false. But in foreign countries, where almost nobody recognizes Leterme, the face of the former Prime Minister looks like that of a successful businessman who inspires confidence.
"It's not the first time a Belgian politician is being abused by fraudsters dating to extort money," says Tim Cools. "Even Elio Di Rupo was stolen a photo from the Internet. With that picture crook managed to steal a victim of thousands of euros ".
