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.

I LOST ALMOST RM8000
Hye, am a female age 27 and a Malay girl from Malaysia. A few weeks ago I have been cheated by someone that I meet through online. Never meet him before. He promise to give me gift and presents before he come here. He said he's a Scottish man. When the luggage arrive at Penang Aiport, a lady call me to pay USD1750 which in Malaysia currency amount is RM5250. She asked me to bank in to someone personal account which she said Custom Collector. Because am too naive, I did the payment. I asked her why must I pay for the amount. She said it was tax need to be paid by the recipient. I believe her because I never received item from oversea before. After the payment I made, she said, she will proceed with the scanning. My friend who sent the item to me said that, he won't the luggage be scanned because he also put 10,000 pounds in the luggage. I told the lady what my friend said. Then she said, she need to check the weight of luggage for fee scanning. Because my luggage have VIP sticker, she said I can do the fee scanning. Later she called me and asked me to pay RM5000 for fee scanning. I told her that I have no money to pay. Then I call my friend and inform to him the amount that I need to pay. He asked me to look for the money to pay for that. I said really I have no money and am crying because am scared. After that, my friend call the courier man that he asked to come to deliver my luggage to inform him that I have no money. Then, he give me time 5 days to get the money to pay for fee scanning. He asked me to get only RM2000 for that fee scanning. On the next fourth day, I manage to get RM2000 and bank in to the same account. After I did the payment, other lady call me said that I need to pay RM1200 for the cost keeping the luggage in their office which are 1 day RM300 (4 days x RM300 = RM1200). I said i have no money yet. She asked me to pay the money as soon as possible. I tried to call my cousin to borrow money from him and he gave me. But I lie to my cousin that I need to pay my debted to my friend. How stupid I am that time. She asked me to bank in to another account because the luggage kept by the different department. After bank in, I got called again from courier man said I need to bank in another RM300 for flight ticket from Penang Airport to Subang Airport. I was stressed because I have no money anymore. My friend said, I need to get the money to enable him deliver item to me. I said I have no money. Am cried. That time, slowly he persuade me until I feel calm and trust what he said. He said and promised there are no more charges after this. Shit! Simply I trust him. I bank in another RM300 which I borrowed from my housemate. Then, the courier man said the time of flight that he will fly to Subang Airport from Penang Airport. Before the flight departure from Penang Airport, the courier man called me and informed to me that he will depart from Penang Airport. Again I believe. Stupid I am!!! After arriving at Subang Airport, the courier man call me again and said that the custom there want to scan the item. I asked my friend to call me and informed him what the courier man said. I said just proceed with the scanning because if they want me to pay, I really have no money to pay. The courier man said that, I need to pay RM1500 for fee scanning there. I asked him why must I pay again. He said because he also don't know how Malaysia procedure. I shout on him and said just proceed with the scanning. Then, he said OK. After that, a lady that confess she is Custom Officer said that, they found valuable items and 10,000 pounds in the luggage when scanning and asked me to pay RM3000. If not she said, she will report to the police and I will be arrested too. Am so scared. Am so worried. And am cried a lot for this stupid games. The next day, I told my friend who was a lawyer about what happened to me. On his advice, he accompany me to make police report. Even after I made police report, the lady still asking me to pay the money to release the item. As she said I will be arrested if am not able to pay, until now, nobody call me to arrest me and I also have the prove of police report that I made before. Beware of scammer. Go to hell to scamer! May God punish you in the world and the next world. I hate scammer and liar! To women there, don't be a victim like me. Now, I need to find the money to pay to persons that I owed before for this stupid games! My life very terrible now. Is anyone can help me from this phobia and trauma?

they are all in Malaysia and according to an information given me the photos that they gave the victim are all stolen and not their real picture, the reason why they do not want the video call telling that their head ache in staring too much at the monitor.

fake romance
Fortunately, the Lord helped us to find this site. Thanks SO MUCH for sharing the info! My frined told us the same story as Seng. The same guy used the same honeyed words to her in emails even though they have never meet in person. He made her to believe that he was only in love with her...Luckily, she sensed the fishy and definitely ended up the odd friendship with him.
Where is that guy? Does anyone know his real photo?
