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.

Scammer Warning !!!!
Peter Gretchen is a scammer. He is using professor Alec Couros picture to scam people. He pretends to be FBI agent fraud unit working undercover. He says he is investigating scammers and has found accounts with money. He uses Barclays bank in England and send fake mails from them.He also send fake mails from FBI. He wants the victim to pay a cot witch is very expensive. And you only have one day before the money goes back to the government. He pretends ro know much and seems convincing but watch out he is a big fake. He is a scammer. He is also trying to make you erase conversation and mails. If not he hack your account and erase it himself. Don't give him money because he is a scammer

Scammer
He also using this number +601136647191. And viber apps still can be contacted. He said if he's not online thats because he's been kick out from hotel today because he cant pay the room. Yes, he called me my wife two weeks after first email and in whatsapp he often called me my Queen and Honey. The thing is his voice doesn't sound like African or Nigerian or Malaysian. More like mixed of Spanish and American. Im not sure.. But since he became different because I didn't want and can send money, I dont care and starting to report him anywhere I could. So no more victim. No money involved but my heart and my mind. Its been a month not too deep tho, but still annoying.

I just wish I can know the guy behind the photos he's been using because he looks nice and family oriented. So I can tell him bout this and to careful..

Scammer
So this guy came to me through Asiandating.com, he was so polite and mature. He said he was born and raised in New Orleans Louisiana, USA. But live and work in Scotland Edinburgh, UK, because after doing his Masters program he got a good work offer as a project supervisor which has been giving a good living. He's a widowed and single father with a daughter (Miracle), lost wife in car crash accident 5 years ago and since then have become single. His dad has the opportunity of working in big conglomerates in the past in Malaysia. The company didn't pay his father fee but now. So, now the company want to release the money and its a good opportunity for him to visit me in Indonesia after he finish the transaction.. The ministry of Finance and agent about to release the money to him. But he need to pay 2% taxes of USD 1,2million (his father fee). He paid with his credit card USD 18,000 ask his mom to send money from US bout USD4,000 and asked me to help USD2,000. Which I don't have. He's begging me to try for him. And the day after he said he succeeded to sold his gold necklace and watch for USD 1,300, where the basic prices was USD 4,200 and 3,900. based on the photo he doesn't look like fancy guy, very simple t-shirt &jeans. He asked me again to help with only USD 700. When I said I cant help he asked money for foods because he hasn't eat since two days ago and hotel bout to kick him out. So I asked which hotel he stays and he was mentioned Pullman Sarawak. I said ok I will send money for foods (I was lying), I called hotel and said no one checked in or out as Amos Jordan there. But I did glad I asked him the agent data:
First name: Norhema binti
Last name: Rizal
Address: 28 jalan Ipoh, Malaysia
Phone: +60166437497

When he knows I didn't transfer because I was fainted, he was upset and said I make him feel like a fool to collect his agent data.

So be careful everyone with Amos Jordan. Below are details I know:
Name: Amos Jordan
Email: openheart442@hotmail.com
Phone: +447031940497 (this cant be reached) / +4477 42392887 (this one for whatsapp but his whatsapp no longer active since I said no, Feb11th 2016, he also use this number for viber apps).
Born: 30 April 1972
Daughter: in UK, named Miracles, will be 8 by Dec this year.

Thats all I know.. Hope it helps

Scammers are still on Facebook
Please, as Facebook still doesn't think the 'guys' I mention before on this page are scammers/fake...keep reporting them. I still feel awful/confused and upset because I believed in this 'romance'. But also because this has to stop now!
