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.

this is a scam, be careful and dont send him any money. After you send money, there will be another story u to send him more money. Like this litlle by litlle I lost more than 20.000 doll. on the one hand I doubt it but still continued to send him money, this is teir talant.

Thank you my dear, and thank you everyone for sharing your experiences with those evil people doing scam. This guy Edwin Cliff even told me that he will marry me and I will stop working, he asked me to send money to Malaysia and he has a contact person there, he has a secretary who keeps on calling me about the money but Edwin said he is in Uk because his father is sick and he asked his father's physician to talk to me over the phone. It just happened recently and when I asked why there's a lot of money involved, he get upset and angry, so I told him that probably he is not true and just a scam. he then blocked me in his FB. And only today I saw this web page thru a friend, I was surprise about this scam, I think this guy continues to get his victims, mostly my friend told me, female, single in middle adult age. Please if you can find this guy in Facebook, please beware and if you can give a warning to his friends in Fb.
