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.

Don't be scared annie. What he can do? He's a foreigner in our country (Malaysia). Our country still have law right? He just want to make you frightened. You can print out the message on Yahoo Messenger and ask for police report. But am sure he can't do nothing as our country have rules and law. As you know annie, am in Kuala Lumpur and anything you can ask me. Don't be scared okay. That guy who cheated me before also said the same thing. But until now, nothing happen. He cannot do our country as their place to do many crimes. Don't be scared. Am always here for you. Just ignore whatever he said. You can see now, why he threatening you after you ignore him? Because he know we, as a woman scare with the threatening by them. Don't worry. Am here for you.

You're welcome Jas. Just share your experience with us here. Like me, before I found this site, I don't know where to express my feelings and I just kept it alone. Since I found this site, I feel comfy when I can express and share what had happened to me for this activities. Its a bit funny for the first time during interviewed by IO (Investigation Officer) at Cyber Crime Department Unit (Police Station), when the inspector asked me, "you know that you have been scammed? Don't you read newspapers for this same case before?". Honestly I answered, "no Sir, I don't read newspaper". That's why after the report I made, I back home and searched about this scam activities and finally I found this site. It was helpful me a lot. And when have time, I will take my time to look into this site to help and share what can I do for our friends here. God bless us.

You're welcome. Just be careful. Please don't simply trust them. As a victim, I don't want my other friends facing the same problems that I've face now. I know, its hard to handle this problem and situation. As you guys know, my family never know what was happened to me. So now, am really struggling to find money to pay to the people I borrowed before. Because. Of that, I don't want other friends suffer like what I feel now. Please pray for me okay. May God bless all of us.

I checked the address given. It was not belong to any Maybank (Malaysian Banking) offices. It was belong to the travel agency. Boustead Services Sdn Bhd.,Menara Boustead 69 Jalan Raja Chulan, Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. Be careful. They just trick you by given the address to make you believe them. Please don't give any money or pay anything to them. As long as I can help, I will help from here. I don't want you be the next victim for this scammers. Just learn from our mistakes and read our experiences here ok. God bless you.

Please don't pay anything. They can give you the address because it just copy and paste from internet. Why don't you ask them which hospital he's been now. As am Malaysian and am staying in Kuala Lumpur, I will check it. If they don't want to give details and give many excuses to you, that's really a trick to make you feel sympathy to pay for the stupid games they created. Please be careful.
