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.

You see now how they play the games. Their modus operandi always same. Don't and never ever borrow from money lender because it will only make your life most trouble. An don't trust whatever sweet words that he will use. He will cry and begging you for the money. They are devil and really cruel. Yous ask him what's the ministry that he deal with. There are a lot of ministry in our country. I will check for you once you tell me the ministry name.

Don't give and pay any money to him. He will ask you to get money and borrow from others. The bad things, he will ask you to borrow from money lender and promise to pay you once his case settle. Once you start paying, then he will create another story to ask money again from you. Be careful ok. Ask him which ministry. I want to check the ministry that he said.

FRED WILLIAM SCAM
Fred William started sending messages to me then suddenly became enamored by me. He said he was going to Australia to pick up some money from work he just completed there. When he supposedly arrived in Kuala Lumpur he called to tell me that he is being detained for bringing in more than $17,000 and is being charged $1500. He even let me speak to a Filipina who said she was with the Immigration in Kuala Lumpur. She then put Fred on the phone and he pleaded for me to send him $1500. immediately and he would pay me back as soon as he arrives here. Needless to say I believed this man and ended up sending him the money, but due to luck did not complete the recepient's name on the western union form. He contacted me the same day and asked me for the MTCN number to the transaction, I gave him the information but he said it was not received. When my son found out he was livid and said that I was was a victim of a scam, he even pulled up his information on google. He said I should get my money back from western union. Fortunately for me the money was never received and I was able to get a full refund for my money. I got the refund then he started contacting me telling me to change the name of the recipient to the whole name he gave me. I did not answer him after that. He tried calling me twice after that, but my son answered the call and yelled at him. I have never heard from him again. God was certainly watching over me that time. I was almost a victim of his scam.

Just like you my family didnt know anything about it. maybe i'm a bit luckier because i did'nt borrowed money from anybody and he was not able to get much from me. but i pawned some of my jewelries and that is what i'm trying to claim one by one every payday. like you i want to help others in doing so i think i'm helping myself also, that is why i frequently visit this site. we can supports each other.

DOn't be scared, he will do anything to the extend of frightening you just to extort money from you. he can't do any harm believe. in the first place even if you gave him your address he really don't know anything about your whereabouts. Don't show him that youre scared of what ever he says, the best thing is to ignore him at all do not answer calls from him nor read his messages to you.
