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.

Thanks Annie..actually he still text me last night, he told me he still can use phone in a while in the jail..Is it true?
I really don't know what to do until I found this page..make me open my eyes, then I realize that this all scam.
Before that my friends always reminded me but I feel like I trust him, he so nice guy..make me feel pity on him with all his problem until I paid all the money I have.
Now I must pity on myself..I will try my best to say no

God bless , luckily there's a place to share this kind of sad incident at here.I found that they like use yahoo messenger as contact.knew that Donald Panucci is deported in U.K.now.and he contacted me again on ym said am the one who left him and ruined everything coz I didn't help him to pay for certificate on 14th.and now he is in hospital recovering due to malnutrition he said that's all my fault.I felt guilty at 1st thought it cldnt best scam but after talk awhile he said he need 10k USD Gordon certificate if I cld help some part.he asked try whatever I can he wl try to settle the rest.said once he can pay this money he wl instruct British High Commission in KL to release his fund to my account then he wl fly m U.K. to meet me.when I heard this I feel upset all he asked fm is money and he put all this mistakes one and make me feel guilty.I was in dilemma whether to help ?

Wow, the sea perates? As Steven Powell? They tried their luck with me with this.But it was very-very weak experiment. They are very-very stupid. I have all IP adress, all servers, all FB profile, etc... I saved and printed everything. They deleted the FB profile, but too late. What does the police do ? From where do they steal the photos?
