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.

FRANKY JONES AND SUBAIDAH BINTI ALI
People please be aware of these two fraud:

1) FRANKY JONES (0143216110)
2) SUBAIDAH BINTI ALI (0103368559)

They are scammers cheating on people asking for your money. This thing happened to me when I met Franky Jones online. He said that he's an engineer from Germany and planning to go to Singapore to buy a drilling machine for his company. He insist to meet me here in Malaysia before going to Singapore. In KLIA he keep on calling me saying that he was arrested by the officer due to large amount of cash he brought in his luggage. Then, soon after a women called me, SUBAIDAH BINTI ALI. She said that FRANKY JONES hired her as his lawyer to settle this problem. This bi*ch said that in order to bring in the money to Malaysia they'll need a certificate from the officer and the price for the certificate is RM6.7k. This bi*ch said that FRANKY alrdy paid RM3.2k for the certificate and ask me to pay the balance which is RM3.5k. I said i had no money to pay but he keep calling me, crying and said that I'm his lover and I'm the only one who can help him.The drama goes on and on. They will try to cheat you and asking for your money forever. If you don't have the money they'll ask you to go to the bank, make loan or it might become worst by asking you to go to the shark loan and borrow money from them. He'll ask you to transfer the money into the lawyers' account.

SUBAIDAH BINTI ALI
CIMB : 01310005468200


They also will email you "the certificate to bring the money in" to make you believe.

They send the certificate to me through this email: barrysmith660@yahoo.com

They'll make your life miserable so please be aware people. I believed they had being doing this for a long time and earn million per years. Don't you ever trust them or else you put your life in danger. Please share this post to create awareness among us. Thanks.

reply to Linda
Hi my friend became friend of Henry Douglas too promised to see her and will marry her. Same with your story his mother has to undergo kidney transplant and so on. Good thing is when he is asking for money, my friend ask us and ask for our opinion, then I saw your comment here and show to my friend. she already fall in love with him and it was not easy for her to accept the reality. I saw all their communication via fb and ym and his words are really sweet and full of promises. Now I ask my friend to delete him from his list of friends, but sad to say he also got my friends cellnumber. Can you believe that even his mother and daughter is already calling her everyday. Telling her that they want to meet her and miss her so much and love her. Ladies beware of him. This is really a scam.

Detained in KLIA
There was a man who contacted on a gay website. He promised to meet me but he never get to meet me at all. He was from the US and flew to London. He called me when he was in London to inform me that he would be in Singapore then. He cannot even speak proper English though he is 'Australian'. Then he called me from 'KLIA' telling me his money was confiscated and having security problem.

All airports even Ben Guiron would never detained anyone. In fact, countries that required to declare the large amount of money will give you a form to fill in. Any sound person will always think before reacting,

1. If you declare, you just hand in the form and will go to a designated lane when you exit out of airport.

Think: If you are continuing your flight from KLIA to Singapore, you need not go through any immigration procedure at all. You are just whizzing pass the international departure zone/transit area.

2. USD10000 in hard cold cash

Think: That is so archaic. People do not carry such money unless you are the some royalty from Arab nations. You have ATM and Credit Card now

3. SIM card from Malaysia.

Think: You can only buy SIM card when you are in the city. Who would be kind enough to lend you his hp and make international calls more than once?

4. Admin fee for certificate??

Think: Cert for what?? marriage? Even registration of company do not cost that much , it is free in Singapore.

Being street smart, I just cannot be bothered by his predicament. I totally ignored his call and msg that he tried to wage a psychological warfare. Trying to make me feel guilty of betraying him. WTF.

Checking with the relevant authorities , there are no such things. SO do not get conned. Let them rot.
