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.

Donald Panucci
I was recently contacted by a guy named Donald Panucci on facebook. He claimed wife died 2 years ago and has a 5 yr old daughter named Lucy and is working on a construction project in Malaysia. Luckily I googled him and found other complaints with his name on this site stating that he was a dating scammer. I have blocked him and reported his profile on facebook. I wanted to let you know if you get an email on facebook from him that it is a scam. I was fortunate to find this information on here so that it would not get far enough to be scammed out of money. Be careful.

Fake profiles
Scammer sent me package which got stuck in Malaysia with all the different charges to be paid. And when i finally discovered that I was scammed, I made all sorts of excuses not to pay. And when he knew that I wasn't going to pay any money, he told me that he is going to Malaysia to deal with the package himself. After that he will come to meet me in my country. He is supposedly in Malaysia right now. But I know he is not. He has been in Malaysia all this time. He also has another profile on FB with another name. But I know for sure that they are the same person. Recently I also discovered that he has created at least three other profiles one using the photo he sent me sometime ago but with a different name. One other profile is a female without a profile picture but the friends list is the scammer and another of his supposed friend which I know is only one person using different names. I also discovered a few other profiles that the scammer had created with different names and pictures because I see the scammer liking and commenting on the pictures. I would love to list all the names, accounts numbers, telephone numbers and the profile names here to warn others but i don,t want to let him know that I am on to him.
There are at least 10 fake profiles and some even have the same profile picture but different name. Now i am just waiting to see what happens tomorrow which is the day he says he is coming to my country to meet me.
