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.

REPLY TO: Got Scammed
Sorry to hear that you to got scammed. I also got scammed and I'm paying the money I borrow from payday loans. Needles to say, after the money borrowed & interest paid, I'm pocketing out almost $3k. I'm going through a divorce & have a sick daughter & even then the STUPID LIAR had no sympathy! I'm literally living paycheck to paycheck. I am "GREATFUL" for the outcome: "I WILL NEVER EVER meet, converse, date, trust, email, chat, phone, share picture, even THINK OF getting involved with any of these "LOSERS" again. I am forever cured of the "INTERNET PHONIES/SCAM ARTISTS" I wish you well to all the victims. To the SCAMMERS "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!"

stop scammer
I have been dealing in the name Kelly is dating a Christian British Airways business investment, but I do not believe me because it's fast too. I think there is a stable and prudent to do what they do not see that. I found the website for more information and stop scammer.com no doubt that music and I try to study.

He was failed with his plan...why should i send him? before he told me that he has many assets and business there and just want to find a girl to help him handle his business in case he is not around. So...why he seek help from me beside he has a good family status in UK based on his testimony, im sure they will help him financially. I directly told him that for now i cant do anything about his problem. After that no more calls, nor emails.
ladies out there please be careful!!!

"PLEASE" STOP ALL COMMUNICATION immediately! This guy must change his name often. It DEFINATELY has to be the SAME GUY I've was talking to. That's the SAME PERSON I western union the $ each time. I told him EVERYTHING about me & we e changed pictures. Lots of pictures....mostly of myself! He found me on FB & I sad to say DID get caught up & tangled in his web. I WAS naive to send him $. I borrowed almost $3K I'm going through a divorce & found myself lured into this guys FALSE words like: MY DARLING, HONEY, MY SUNSHINE, MY WIFE, MY SOUL MATE....etc. His mother supposedly has heart problems & his supposedly cousin is now caring for his daughter. He makes you feel like "YOU" are his only hope. I lost that $ I'm STILL paying but for me....it was worth EVERY PENNY because it clearly opened my eyes....WIDE OPEN! NO MORE INTERNET MEETINGS OR CHATTINGS. If you do happen to speak with him tell him your friend in Vegas-RUTH says hello. I guarantee you hell respond "WHUAT" Honey...I don't know anyone there...I've never been to Vegas. GOOD LUCK! Here's his numbers he used with me: Supposebly his local BOUGHT NUMBER IN Kuala Lampur 011 6011 1667 5231 His other number he keeps active ALWAYS 011 44 7031 82 4659
