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.

I feel so lost!
Btw, I'm from Malaysia...and i feel I have been scammed...I have been paid alot of money...but Until today (about 3.5 years), I have not received my money back. I even was told that I may lose my funds....Can someone relate to a similar case like this? Funds being held in a "lab" under International Monetary Funds?? I stopped sending money when I have come to my senses that this is not right!
How to report this to the right authority? I think if I go to police, nothing can be done.
Need advice. Thanks.

I am a victim
I met a guy who claimed he is from Holland but live in Scotland to manage his late father's company thru fb few months ago. I decided to add him since we have 2 mutual friends. Then he gave me his phone no. and asked me to add him on whatsapp. I insisted at first and tell him that I don't believe in stranger. Then, he say it's okay and he will wait until I believe in him. Few days later I decided to add his no. and we start to converse using the app. 2 weeks later he said he had fall in love with me and want to move on with our relationship. I sensed something wrong because it was too fast for him to confess and I keep asking is he serious about this and he got angry with me for keep asking him the question. But due to my soft heart, I fall for his words. He asked me to transfer money for visa application and also for him to transfer money from his company account to me. Before he can transfer his company money, he need to declare with my countrt central bank and asked money to pay for the form and also the taxes. I didn't agree to transfer money to him at first but I don't know why I keep falling for his sweet words and promises. Foolishly, I transfer the required amount of money to few local bank accounts belong to local person here maybe to make me believe on what he said are true. It is all come to my sense when a diplomat called me telling me that I need to pay for clearance and insurance fee of a consignment sent by that guy. I know it is too late for me to realise and I feel very stupid now to believe in that man. I decided not to make any more payment and until now they are still waiting for me for the payment but I keep telling them I don't have the money yet. I did asked him since he own a company why don't he use his own money and he told me that all the processes is done in Asia and he is not in Asia. I foolishly believed that.

Scammers
So i met and knews this person from asiandating.com.
He so polite and mature. He asked me for no more chatting through other online so i gave him my password and email for he can help me to delete my account in asiandating... first, we are relationship going well but after he said that he get oppurtunity for his late father in Sarawak ... and after meeting in there he told me that meeting was going well but he must pay for tax 2 % (his late father) he already take all his money from credit card $18.000 ... and asked his mother maid to send back the money $4000 ... so he asked me to for $2000 for balance amount $24000..and he told me that will paying back soon after he arrive in Indonesian. I'm really dissapointed of this person because after i reject him for $2000 .. he became different than the first we knew. Now he not text me again ... and when i asked him why... he always said he had been distress in Sarawak. I asked him for going back to his country and asked about his daughter and his mom .... but he never answer it.
So everyone be careful on this person... if you met him at asiandating.com his name Amos Jordan.. live and work at scotland. UK and his daughter name Miracle
He using viber and whatsapp +44 7742392887
That's all i knew for his details

Scammer Warning !!!!
Peter Gretchen claims you will get your money back if you pay the cot (cost of transfer). He is lying there is no money. It's all fake.He is a coward hiding behind an innocent man's picture. He is only low life just like his scammer friends. He is not working alone because he knows everything. Block this creep and ignore him. He is really nasty. Report him on Facebook because he sends a friend request to get in touch with his victims. FBI doesn't work like that. Don't let him scam you.
