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.

May i ask the British embassy to please check if Jimmy Bowe was really brought to jail. as per the girl, a pinay, the police got him about 6:20 pm today. they are asking me to pay 1500 usd so i contacted my cousin but when my cousin called the girl, jimmy called and said he was going to jail becoz i told it to my cousin. the girl said he will be charged with terorism. if my cousin will go they will detain him as accomplish. i really can't understand. please please i need advices. isit my fault that he was brought to jail ? my only intention is that the money be given directly to them so i asked my cousin to bring the money to the immigration rather than i sending it here in the phil. i feel guilty.. please i need your advices.

british embassy please chech immediately if these are true or not so as to clear your country's name.
as i said in my first letter. Jimmy Bowe, an architect from Texas but works at Solifux England chat with me thru FB. he said he will come to the phil to see and marry me. Aug.12,2012 at about 1:30 pm, a girl from the airport of kuala lumpur called me telling me that will be held in kuala lumper due to much money he has. i send them php 30,990.00 last monday but jimmy was not yet released because they want him to pay 1500 usd for the certificate of money laundering. i told jimmy that i will inform the british embassy in manila but he doesn't like to be published. he told me not to tell to anybody. and that i send the 1500 usd so he will get out from there. he is hardup.. food, no bed to sleep on.
cell # +60169695514 used by a Filipina who claimes to be an employee of the embassy. gilbert Ahmad, kuala lumpur, malaysia was the name whom i send the php 30,990.00. they texted me another name whom i will send the 1500 usd equivalent to php 64,000.00 Bernard Mandegou. please me on this i'm confused. how about if it is true, how about jimmy, i pity him a lot. If this is a scam, may the Lord forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.
When we talked a while ago using the cp of the filipina, i was asking the name but jimmy said it they don't want to tell. i pity jimmy, he is not part of the scam but a victim.
what is important now is that the proper authority of the british embassy based in kuala lumpur, malaysia to check in these matter. please verify if there really a man named Jimmy Bowe deld at the embassy.
BRITISH EMBASSY BASSED IN KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA.. PLEASE CHECK ON YOUR PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING HELD THERE. THEY MAY MOT BE PART OF THE SCAM BUT VICTIMS.
Jimmy don't know how much i send last monday. he was asking me when he raised his voice at me when i said i will inform the british embassy in manila.

I met someone online for over 3 months..he said that he's in Malaysia doing construction work. One day he emailed me saying that some of his construction materials were hold up by the Malaysian Custom and that he didn't know that he has to pay duty cost for the releasement of his goods. So he asked me if I can help him. For almost a month now I always made up excuses fo him and have not sending him any money at all. I was curious at first when he asked me for money. I know he is scammer now...His number 0060173686734

But I still continued chatting with this guy.. We talk through the phone.. But his voice sounded like a Niger.. I told him I could not help him out,, & he said he is going back home to see his sick mum first & get a lawyer back to Malaysia to settled his case here, so he went back to London on 9/8/2012
