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.

Engr Drew Duncan AITF Contractor London
Recently I received fb msg from Drew Duncan. It was similar to what have ellen shared. I feel in luck to have spotted at earlier stage but almost fall for it. Drew Duncan has yet to break the ice to ask for money and so certain he would one of this days. I am a person who query too much for someone would feel so irritate by. I browse through his fb n his subscriber. Such a pity I have found some women are from my country. I investigated my ways and still in contact with Drew to get more fake information as i could get in many ways. I know its kinda dangerous but Alhamdulillah, I pray to Allah SWT to seek to show his true intentions and it was shown in a miracle ways. I studied all shared informations and letters by scammers here at this site, I detected and circled most used phrases and words. I am confident its from the same root of syndicate. Due to my strong instinct and insecure feelings to search for the whole truth, i wouldn't have come across this site by googling engr drew duncan AITF Contractor London. His fb seems so realistic and couldn't imagine how true the chatters are in his fb subscriber. Fb stated he studied university of Leeds but in his email university of Manchester. Im sure too some are created fb for his sake and majority are victims to be. I hope to find ways to alert these women.

used my brain
I recently met some guy named Josh and he said he was working in Dubai and he said he was heading down to KL and wanted to marry me. He kept repeatedly saying he wants my bank account number and I didnt give him! Im smarter than that! Then a few days ago I got a call from someone here saying that she's from the Malaysian customs department and needs RM 6000 to free him and I said I am unemployed and I cant pay that fine. I knew it was a scam from the begining.
