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.

Schedule to visit me in Saudi
I received his email this morning @ 5:55am and it goes like this..
I have a problem right now which needs to be settle without any delay, I got stopped by the Malaysia custom authority and they requested for me to declare my luggage for checking on our arrival transit here in Malaysia and I did as they requested, after some period of time I saw some security men surrounding me and it came to my notice that the custom officer on duty has scan my luggage and found out that I was carrying huge amount of cash, right now the Malaysia custom has requested that I must procure a clearance certificate because according to them am not suppose to carry allot of cash while making a long trip. I have pleaded as much as I can for them to release my things to me so I could continue my journey to my final destination but they still insisted that I must behind, actually I feel so depress about everything that has happen today but what can I say, I have to take all this as my faith, words can’t express my situation at the moment.
Darling the authority has gave me the option of paying for clearance charges of 4500 USD or I will face the consequences of going to the court, for me I prefer to pay for the charges instead of this matter dragging me to court which might result to many issues ahead, do you understand? Just to let you know that the money is allot and I wouldn’t like us to lose it because I have budgeted the money for the establishment of our future and securing the future of our family, so we really need to get the money out from the authority if not we will lose allot and further more I will routine in jail for money laundry.

Darling right now am only having about 1000 USD in my wallet which they didn’t took from me, the rest money is inside the luggage and they couldn’t give me access to the luggage until I settle the clearance charges they requested from me, like I told you I have 1000USD and I have try to ask my mom for assistance and she promise to send me the last money in her account which she is suppose to use for her hospital treatment, she only promise to send me 1500 USD and I was able to contact my friend for help as well and he promise to send me 1000 USD, so I hopefully I already can get 3500USD and am still left with the balance of 1000 USD. Right now I don’t have any other idea how to get the remaining balance of 1000 USD by today so I can complete the total amount they requested from me for the clearance charges before my luggage can be release, darling I would like to ask for your assistance at this point, I feel ashamed asking help from you but I don’t have any option now because of the current situation, just to avoid delay I would ask you to assist me to send 1000 USD so I can complete the total amount to enable me settle the matter by today, for sure I will definitely pay you back soon as I arrive Saudi Arabia airport by today if everything get settle. I know how you will feel about this but the truth is that I really need your help and the only thing that will solve this matter is paying for the clearance charges, please don’t misunderstand me ok.

Just incase your heart is willing to assist me then you can send me the money through western union so I can get the money earlier here, use below information in sending the money:

You can send the money with this officer information through western union:

I don't need to be ashamed of myself and I'm very happy that my story get through others. For some people, they find my story or similar story to weight in their judgement either the person they talk to is a scammer or not. I don't need to be even wasting my time to report or let others know but I did. So if u not one of the scammer just be thankful that people share their stories here.
