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.

is he a scammer???
I know him 2months ago on FB and he said he is going to Malaysia to ship 14 Mack Trucks and 18 earth equipments for NAKANO CONSTRUCTIONS in Malaysia. He send me the contract and it is being stipulated there that the end of contract is on July5th. Now he is asking for assistance because he is out of funds due to land space which he is not aware that the seaport authority of Malaysia will charge him that big amount.According to him the land space is 24,000 MYR which is more or less 300,000 pesos and he has given 1 week to settle the balance.I am from the Philippines I already send money to him with the amount of 243,000 last june 30 and last july 4 but I online the money to Jeremy Go Franco in which according to him he is the Philippine's agent of the seaport of Malaysia. He said the seaport authority charge him again the demmorage with the amount of 3,800 MYR. So now he keep calling me and ask for help for the balance so that the seaport will give him clearance so he can deliver the trucks to Nakano Corporation because according to him the check is already issued and ready as long as the trucks delivered. I would like to ask for your help to verify the seaport Klang in Malaysia if they have shipper name EDWARD RANDALL DARIO from 1 Marylbone High Street, WIU 4LZ London United Kingdom who have contract to Nakano Corporation since he is still in Malaysia right now and keep asking me assistance for the balance of 100,000. I hope you can help me on this if his transaction is legit can i ask assistance from you to help him settle the balance because i don't have resources now the reason i also want to help him is that i borrowed the amount i send to him. According to him once the truck delivered he will pay me back so I am so worried now of the money i borrowed from the people here with 20% interest. Please help me verify now.

RE: Scam
The Englishman that i have known is not sincere as well as genuine and I'm here to warned all the woman to be very careful with this englishman as he will send you photos of himself and his son as well as his deceased wife saying that his wife died due to breast cancer and he also send some pictures of his wife and mom as well as his son but i have found out that all this is his lies all this while from the beginning when i got to known him. He is at Kertih Trengganu as mentioned by himself but i am sure that this will not be the story that he is telling and he did pretend that he is very sad as the money from petronas has not been release to him due to clearance. The cheque that he shown is really a joke as it can been seen fake due to the figure that he taip it in and the cheque that logo of petronas is just like you got from website and it looks exactly like real but is not. I guess if petronas happen to see it they will even sue him for mis-using the logo. Oh god why are there so many scam nowadays even englishman with the age of 50 over also doing all this. I would very much like to make a police report to verify that this man is cheating and i don't think I am the first that he had cheated. I am sure many has been conned but they are not dare to voice it out. He also will mention that he has 3 houses in UK and well if you think carefully if he really have it why not he ask him family to support him on the balance of the clearance money instead. What a ridiculous story that he is trying to tell. I think the photos that he has shown me is also those he took from others to help him in this scam. He also provide his mobile no at 011 3329 8552 saying that he got this number based in Msia trengganu. He also told me that his charm can charm many of the non chinese in town of KL & selangor as well as outstation in the area of Trengganu. Well aware of this scam do not easily falls for this man as you will be destroy at the end of the day.

RE: Scam
I have came to known a englishman claimed to be from Manchester United and has been having a contract based with Petronas 6 months ago. He has calling me very often everyday and he also told me that his contract is ending in June which is this month and he will sign another new contract with the KLCC petronas but before he can proceed he will needs to pay up his expenses and like house that he is renting from petronas and the rest. And he has called that he has already paid up for almost RM60k to petronas and now waiting for his clearance but short of RM2K to actually have petronas to release his money of RM20,000,000.00 and he also has shown his cheque to me by watsapp but when i checked with the bank yesterday the cheque happened to be fake one. Therefore i would like to have your advise on this before this scam is hurting and dmanaging the rest of the people in Malaysia. He is still calling and asking for the help of money to be transfer to one of the chinese lady's name. He has promised so many unreality dreams that i almost got scam by him but luckily i am smart enough to verify all this before it is too late.
