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.

A romantic scam, probably
I have experienced this kind of scam twice in 2 years. Right now my friend from UK claimed that he has been held at the Airport in Malaysia and asked me to help him to pay 4,500USD in order to be free. We had a contact since October last year. He told me that he live and work in UK and he was Australia for a one month contract and when he done he will come to Tanzania to visit me. He sent his Air ticket to me and I gone through all trips, those are valid trips... he supposed to arrive at Dar es salaam Airport at 01:25pm by Ethiopian Flight 805. But this morning he called me and starting his story of being held at the Airport. Because I know this trick I refuse to send a sent of mine... when I told him that I will check with UK Embassy in Malaysia he disagree and angry with me...

A romantic scamm, probably.
I had a call from a man, whom had said he is living in London, UK, he had called to me (I live in UK) from his British mobile previously. His plane had been arrived in Malaysia on 5 Apr 2013, by his words.
He had said me, that his bank card, his property, his money and his baggage had been stolen or losted in Malaysia at 5/4/13. and so, he is in the emergency. It may be a real story, or this may be a case of a romantic scamm.
This man had send his photoes and his daughter's photoes (his or another people) to me. He had introduced himself to me on Facebook as F.J. at 1st Apr 2013.
It may be a romantic scamm or a real story. I had refused to send my money at any case, as I have not any free money to send and as something was sounding that it may be a romantic scamm.
I know his Facebook name as F.J.. I know his UK mobile number and two Malaysian numbers, from which he had called to me.
I did not send my money to him.
