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.

HABIBUNISAH BINTI MOHD AZIR is a scammer - confirmed!
Yes, similar situation, with a "shipment" that was held up in Malaysia. Tried to get $350 via Western Union. Was working with another Irish person who was the original baiter in this situation.

Don't trust him. He's a scammer. Be careful right now. If we meet someone on any online sites, its better to investigate first before we accept them as friend. Why he used the different name Mari? Of course because he did cheated many others woman before this and he didn't want women that he cheated before realized and find him again after he stole money from them. For me now, after I faced with this situation, my responsibility is to remind and try to save as many woman as I can by informing them that the guy on that sites is a scammer. Hope they will not be the next victim after me.

Annie, we're same. I also lost almost RM8000 (USD2500). They're cruel did this to us. Until now, that man still contact me. Yes, he's also using private number every time he called me. Only two times he used the UK number. But am not sure who's number belong to that he used. He's devil. I hate scammer. To others, let's share any experience or story about this scam activities so that we can help to give moral support to each others. God bless us.
