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.

as of the moment he will used sweet words, and to lure you to him, then after that he will seek your help for money because somebody is sick and badly need large amount of money, or he can't cash in his money and he need some cash before he can get his own money or he was hospitalized, anything and everything just to get money from you so for now all we can say is please be very careful. if you want you can read all the shared experiences of us posted here. God bless you

For me, better you check the courier service itself because, on the site it can say anything. What happened to me, my colleague had helped me to bring me to the address stated in the courier service website and the result.........there are no courier service there!!! Yes, the address stated was exist but it actually not belong to the courier company. They just took from internet to make people believe about the courier company itself. Just be careful okay.

What can I say, just be careful. Maybe now he don't ask money from you to help him. But after proper plan with his accomplice here, he will act as good as can to make you believe to him. He will use his tears to make the story is right and many ways he do to make you believe to his story. For this time, I just can ask you to be careful. If they ask you to pay, just ignore. Otherwise, you can pretend by saying that you will pay and ask for the bank account number which you should bank in. If the account number belong to personal account, that's mean he tried to scam you. But I believe that, they will not give the bank account number unless you said you have money right now and will go to bank now. What happened to me, they just give the bank account number once I have cash in my hand. As I don't have the money I said, they said they cannot give me the account number because it is confidential. Don't simply trust their trick. Their modus operandi is just to take and get as much money as can because their income is by cheating and stolen our money. If you in Malaysia, in The Star newspaper for last week, you can see the HEADLINE of news for that day about this scammed activities. I hope you will be careful with this kind of people. Just learn from our experience okay. God bless you.

Eirol is right annie. Why they must behave like that to you. You can see that how their connected with each others when you refuse to follow their directions. After one people said you with foolish, the other one used the same words because they are at the same place. Just ignore the stupid and useless person like that. For your info, I tried to contact the number given. Unfortunately, the first number given not active yet, while the other two numbers still active but nobody answer it. Even I tried to message, the message status is delivered but no reply from that number. Anything we can share here, let shares together okay. Only this we can help each others.

no one in his right mind will call the girl he's suppose to be in love with foolish, not even a true lawyer will call someone foolish,that's professional ethics. who knows the person pretending to be a lawyer, an officer from uk embassy and your friend is only one person using different number. again if everything is true they should give you their office number and not a cell number. Just dont mind them anymore and move on woith your life. GOd bless you

Eirol is correct. Don't trust what they say because they will say anything to make you scare and pay for them. This happened to me. After you pay for A, they will ask you to pay for B and etc.... This will never end once you start paying to them. Am from Malaysia and I asked government staff, Malaysia Royal Custom, police, immigration and everybody after what had happened to me. They told and informed me what actually happened. And this happened for many times. Their modus operandi is also and same. Send parcel with luxury things, bring a lot of money and detained at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. If he/she used the office number, you MAY BE can trust and believe them, but if they used MOBILE NUMBER, its mean this is really scammed. I tried to call several number (Malaysia number as am in Malaysia)that posted in this page, but nobody never answer and pick up my call. May God bless you marz.
