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.

Yes annie, there is a Chinese Hospital at Pudu known as Thung Shin Hospital. But mentioned by alynne, the Hospital name is Chinese Hospital. Maybe that scammers don't know what to say, that's why he just said Chinese Hospital to make the story true.
Jas, he will ask you with the lowest cost of money that you may be able to pay. But believe me that, after you pay for the first time, am sure that he will ask you money again and again. Just reject all his call and ignore whatever he say.
Alynne16, now you can see how they play the games right.? Just be careful and don't simply trust them again. We are together here to help each other as long as we can.
GOD BLESS US.

scam
well my story as a end a little better than yours, but after talking with someone for quite sometime, he asked me to married him, and than he went to KLumpur for a contract, he said he was from US, e also said that he won the contract and that they want him to start working immediately, and he had no time to come back to US to pick the money bcz there were more people for the same job too, and he needed to go to China to sheep tools for the job..etc. etc he wanted UK10.000, U know what I did? no money send, I will never, but never send money to person that I don't know in person, please to not do it. Be smart, pay attention about accents when they talk, phone numbers, search for them online, for the names too, be suspicious all time. take care and be safe

are you still hopeful that what the nurse told you is true. Please believe us she is also an accomplice like the filipina woman who called me telling me that she was an immigration officer and the one who negotiated with me,

Thanks for your support. Yes, I must be strong to face all of this situation. Moreover, I promise myself that I want to pay the money that I borrowed before as soon as possible to the person that I owed before. Yes, I cannot lie myself that my life now is very hard and only tears can make me feel better. I hope, we here as a family and will support and help each others to re-build up our confidence level again. GOD bless us.

Can you please ask the nurse which hospital actually the man in charge now? I can help you to check. But if she said Chinese Hospital, there are no Chinese Hospital name in Kuala Lumpur. If the nurse cannot give you the details about the hospital like address and doctor name, it means, she also one of the accomplice of this scam activity.
