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.

A true scammer story!
Beware - - - - - Holiday season is here! Romance scammers are on the move during this time of the year. I was romanced by man that said he was from the UK and US and was working in Malaysia. Months after I was brainwashed into believing this man cared for me I was heartbroken and had loaned him my life savings..... I had been scammed and robed. Please DO NOT send money! These scammers have all kinds of sob stories. Below is the link to my story as published by AARP. That organization is trying to educate the public - PLEASE READ! I am Ami Coy in the story

I'm not easily fooled thank God :-) It's about a life insurance regarding his late father the amount is 5 000 000 $ and he hasn't enough money to pay the taxes. His UK number is 44752473201 and his Malaysian number is 601126396428. I come back with more details.
