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.

Sweeney dickson
Hi all,

I would like to warn everyone about Sweeney Dickson. He says he is 35 years old, wife died in child birth, has a daughter named Victoria who is 6 (birthday is supposedly June 1, both parents are dead, brother died (Henry) died in 911. His uncle who raised him also died about six months ago. He is an engineer making thousands of dollars. He does not have Skype and refuses to use a camera to talk. He is quite the romancer.

He will fall in love with you in one day, want you to be the mother to Victoria the next, business partner by the third day and you are engaged by the next weekend.

he says he had a fashion business in Malaysia and needs someone to take over and help since his wife is no longer alive. He will travel to Malaysia to sort out the detail of this business transaction and then ask you to contact his lawyer Hellen Weng. The lawyer will email but pay attention to the spelling of her name, there is two different spellings.. Ie Hellen and Helen.

The lawyer will ask you to send a copy of your drivers license and international passport. After this email she will email you asking that you pay $1700 for the paper work to br process so the banks won't question the turning over his willed benefits of the project. Once you decline in giving the money he gets realllllly sweet and tried to butter you up,

A few days later he is going to come back and state that he is upset because the lawyer is taking the papers to the Malaysian government to be sealed and he does not want to lose his hard work. So he ask you again to help and begs you to burrow money from friends and you can pay them back when the business deal goes through.

I called out as a scammer and refused and I have never heard from since.

immigration and customs link
to mariam and to all: ttry to open this link admin.klia@customs.gov.my, below you will see the contact number of immigration. .you can confirm from them if your friend is really detained. . i once used this site add when someone i know from a chat when he say he will go to malaysia for a business trip. .and i received a call from him that he was detain because of the big amount of money for the business found to his luggage. .sounds unbelievable right. .? a real businessman do not usually bring a big amount of money. . what is the use of bank to bank transactions. scammers will tell you all their dramas but dont send money.
