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.

is he a scammer or no?
I knew a man from uk, his name is Chris Kastor for 2 months on FB. He is a invest man an buy share , he wants to invest to NEPTUNE ORIENT LINES LIMITED, this is a Singapore an transport company, then he went to singapOre on Nov 18 from Heathrow to KLIA. -In KLIA he said to me that "I get a got stopped by the Malaysia custom authority and they requested for me to declare my luggage for checking on our arrival transit here in Malaysia and I did as they requested, after some period of time I saw some security men surrounding me and it came to my notice that the custom officer on duty has scan my luggage and found out that I was carrying huge amount of cash, right now the Malaysia custom has requested that I must procure a clearance certificate because according to them am not suppose to carry allot of cash while making a long trip. I have pleaded as much as I can for them to release my things to me so I could continue my journey to my final destination but they still insisted that I must stay behind, actually I feel so depress about everything that has happen since I arrive Malaysia but what can I say, I have to take all this as my faith, words can’t express my situation at the moment, but surely I know I will get out from this problem soon, am sacred about what will be the penalty if this matter is been disclose to the public, just to let you know that I will be in more problem if the UK government get to know about this matter because they will be against me for carrying out such amount of money out from UK to invest in your country.
 

According to the security officer, if this matter doesn’t resolved soon I will be taking to court to face the penalty of carrying huge amount of money out from another country without UK knowledge, the fact is that the court will penalize me for money laundry and then I will get punishment for carrying huge amount of money with me, the officers said they are not satisfy that am bringing the money for investment even though I have tried to prove to them that am bringing the money for investment, they are suspecting that am bringing the money for sponsoring of terrorism around the Asia community, they went further by telling me that allot of people was caught recently on the act of terrorism so that is why the authority is really monitoring seriously on foreigners."Finally, he ask to me to send him 800USD to balance his fine and final ties from *4500 USD. His FB Chris Kastor from Mancehester, he is an expert oil. His Email chriskastor@gmail.com. He hgave me 2 number of UK there are 1. +447031895781 and 2. +447031932355 then he gave me number of Malaysian +60173932742 . When I check to the internet the number from uk are number of high commission from uk. I sent money to stan Cullen an officer from KLIA. Please hekp me to know this a scam or not. And who is stan cullen. Until npw, FB from Chris kastor still active.

norhayati bt mahpar, michael ray
On Dec 25, Michael Ray has convinced me to bank in RM3000 into Norhayati bt Mahpar acc (claim to be a 'clearance officer' in Kota Kinabalu Airport) to freed him from being detained coz he claim there is more than £200,000 in his bag. Without thinking any longer I immediately bank in the money. Realising I've been cheated, I lodge a police report & told Michael about the police report. He keep on calling & text me asking my acc no. Is it safe to reveal my acc no to him as he promise to return my money?

sweet and kate
Habibunisah Binti Mohd Azir is the name of the person which they told me to send the money thru western union. So please you too refrain from sending money dont believe them, they're not from uk or Manchester or anywhere else except from nigeria. they're nigerian or african citizen staying in malaysia and since it's a kind of syndicate they can do anything to convince you. don't send money please believe and if they threaten you just ignore them.
