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.

FIND THIS PERSON MR. WILLIAMS JOHNSON
I've was trying to get in touch with the number he gave to me. The number +447031878962 is on voice mail only & that was located at Manchester UK, if you would call here from Philippines you may dial first 00441617031878962. And another number is still ringing +60102528670 (0060102528670 that was Malaysia Area ) and there is someone answered the phone, he's a man but after i heard the voice I've already off my phone call because i was only use a budget card for international call i could contact anywhere you are?... But i was thinking that this Scammer maybe this person is a high profile people in Malaysia and also they have a contact person at United Kingdom maybe this is a group of people. So whatever he's name, and he's from anywhere, we must don't believe whatever they said specially if they are asking for a help and need money to arranged and fixed the problem they got. Solve it by his own. NO MORE DRAMAS, NO MORE SWEET TALK, NO NEED TO HELP THE PERSON IF WE DID NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE? PLEASE BE CAREFUL IN MEETING SOMEONE AT NETWORKING SITE, THEY ARE SIGNING-IN IN DIFFERENT NETWORKING SITE. Thanks I'm just only sharing what is my experienced ... maybe my friend would do an action for those people because his friend was one of the Cabinet Member of Malaysia. Please Be Ready for the Online Scammer... Good Luck... (WILLIAMS JOHNSON, CURRENTLY AT KUALA LUMPUR AIRPORT MALAYSIA ACCORDING TO HIS LAST TEXT, BUT ANOTHER ADDRESS HE GAVE IS MANCHESTER UK)

Online Romance Scam
I have the same experience as the other Filipina, Divine, who posted her experience on this online romance scam. I also befriended a certain Mr. Hawkins Brown from Manchester UK about a month ago. Since he was really so nice and sweet, I also felt comfortable chatting with him. He would even call over the phone saying that he loved me and would marry me. So, he informed me that he will be coming over to the Philippines and will be staying for 3 months. He sent his travel itinerary and was supposed to arrive at our airport in the Philippines this morning at around 8:15am. I was beginning to worry when he didn't show after 45 minutes. Then I received this call from a Filipina woman, imagine, saying that she's working at the KLIA and just wants to help and that Mr Brown was kept in detention for money laundering since he brought with him a very huge amount of money. Now, in order for him to get released, I need to send $2,700 through Western Union to a certain Mr. James Oliver Kareem. That made me start doubting since if it were really the immigration detaining him, I don't think they would want me to send money through Western Union. I also spoke with Mr Brown who called me up a few minutes after the woman spoke with me and was told that he didn't want to call anybody from his hometown since they will get worried and he didn't want his embassy to know as well. I was really confused at that time and when I said that I will not send money to people I don't know, he said I should send the money to his name since the airport people will let him out a few minutes just to claim the money.

Now that really got me thinking that it was all a scam but of course, I had no intention of sending money to anybody. I was just testing what they would do.

I am sure that we are not the only ones they are targeting but I hope those who are in contact with those scammers now would have the sense to realize that it is all indeed a scam and that there is no automatic love over the internet until you really get to know the person in reality.

We're sending a friendship letter at first and after a few weeks they send not only a friendship messages but also a deepest relationship or being her wife in the future, but I've already accepted him but if he is not true it's okay I'm always ready also. And after more sweet and nice communication with each other he set their vacation and his flight was on SUNDAY, 23RD ,SEPT 2012.TIME: 12.00 PM FLIGHT: MH0003, departure from London at Malaysia Airlines and he will arrived at transit point at Malaysia Airport on MONDAY 24Th,SEPT..,2012. TIME : 7::35 AM ... at that moment I'm was on the hospital because that was the colonoscopy / endoscopy treatment of my father so i was busy at that moment and i was in need of money because we need to pay the bills. And during the time of operation of my father I've got a message on my Mobile and he need my assistance because there is a problem with the Malaysia customs and I've got shock with that messages. I've reply his text and I've said that why?, what happened to the Malaysian customs? Is there something wrong? What should i need to do now? then he replied me that he needs 350usd amounting of 14,990 in peso... Oh i was shock with that messages, it's disgusted with me, I've already think that his not true, his fake and so on... With regard to money i would never give to somebody that i do not know who is HE? even im not familiar with any kind of scam but I'll make sure to them that he would never get any amount from me even is 1usd hahaha... If there is someone that know this person please don't believe with him WILLIAMS JOHNSON FROM MANCHESTER UK HIS NUMBER IS +447031878962 AND OTHER NUMBER USED IN TEXTING ME IS +60102528670...

Henry Douglas
Hello ,
I am sending you a message to Clear Henry Douglas name , he is in a financial crisis at the moment and when his situation is straightend out, he will repay me back the $1,000.00 he borrowed from me. Henry would like his reputation back especially to his friends and family. I am hoping someday he can face me or call me after he sends my money to apologize for everything he has put me through. I hope he gets his situation straightened out and able to move forward and start a fresh new life for his family and himself. I expect the best for Henry and hope he can work out his financial situation . I just want him to gain his friendship from his friends and it will take time for his friends to trust him again.
