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.

DAN HSIAO ALERT!!!!!!!!!! danhsiao339@yahoo.com
I was contacted by DAN HSIAO using the mail account danhsiao339@yahoo.com

We have been communicating since May/June of 2012. He seems to be quite a successful entrepreneur. Our communication as follows. Ladies please be alert on this guy. Cant imagine i fall for his charms.. and lost sizeable amount of my savings.

1) has a daughter. Introduce as Jennifer etc.. must be one of his alias

2) Has a mother. Told me, spoke to his mother and wants to marry me

3) Have business dealings with Petronas.. btw, i have checked. FAKE!!!!

4) Sent me lots of love letters thru mail. And riddled with grammar mistakes. (not english native speaker.. not chinese even)

5) Flight detail from LONDON without reference number (now i know).. i checked with MH, no such name flying from LONDON to KUL ever... EVER!!!!!!!

6)Ask to do room reservation (rape maybe) I was lucky I cancelled it.

8)Talk about business dealings and ask money from me.

This DAN HSIAO called me few days after I transferred money to an account. We went steady, but it was an attempt to extort more money from me.

Ladies, i was duped. His words were his weapon. Don't be fooled.
