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.

Warning
I want to warn everyone who might be contacted by someone calling himself Harry Jason, who said he was a marine engineer and half italian half irish. We talked on Facebook and email and then hangouts on google, and he always seem so genuine. He asked for money which I foolishly sent. transferring it to someone called Ihenyen Ehinor Daniel at the Cimb Bank Kuala Lumpur. The last time we spoke he actually did a video call and although it was mostly a blur I got a very small glimpse of a large black face. and realised that this is the person i'd been corresponding with. I have not corresponded with him since that day. I must say it did come as a bit of a shock.

Here is usually the introduction of a scammer/Impostor. "am looking for a friend and I saw your beautiful smile in Facebook and I want to be your friend" remember this is usually his introduction, then you get excited and response. Now they usually introduce , he is an Engineer with a high position in a prestigious company either in United Kingdom or far away out of state, then you beleive and responded and he proclaim hi interest nicely with you and send you loving words of love , he loves you so much was his wordings everytime he response and yoyu started beleiving, another thing there's a picture on his profile , very distinquish picture and you beleive it was him. Then in other words in the long run you have been correspoding and fell in love to him he decided to see or meet you in a certain country or whereever you are. This is the most intriging part. Someone called for him and told you he has problem in the airport and need help, money of course, if you could send. ON this part "STOP" and think twice, Check in the Embassy where he is. At first check careful his writing,sometimes he makes mistake, he send you a master copy which he send also to some other women. IT's COPY he got confuse he send it to you. Be careful, study the message. Their target are women, usually older women senior retired citizen. DELETE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM!!!

Phone numbers are disposable , they can put what number they want.
The one and only think to identyfy the scammer is his personal email address, which is only one and can't be cloned.
