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.

facebook scammer
I got the guy name Collins bruce friend request in Facebook. After few day he claims that he is in fallen love with me. After chatting while with him I figure out its scam. He is still in my Facebook friend list. He said he is actual from London and he is civil engineer. And now he is in Malaysia doing his project. Making this story short even I know its scam I still chatting with him and want to report about this scammer as I am getting called from him and his number is still active. I want this person be arrested without figure out he got caught. He told me that he is getting 3.5 billion dollars for his project. He wanna come and visit me next week. For coming in mid of project he have to pay some sattlement money which is $12500 he ask me to send 2500 dollar as he is shortage of money. Well I already knew its scam but nicely I refused sending any money saying I just paid medical bills and I can't help him. He still insisting to get help from frds or family so he can come and see me. He said I am the his God blessing woman. For me its nothing bit lie. I smartly still chatting with him without letting him know that I know he is scammer. I insist couple of time to come on cam but he said his cam not working etc. He refused to give his address as he said he is in five star hotel.
I am here giving his UK number and also Malaysia number which is active. I wish police can help and catch him before he fool other. His Malaysia contact number is +60104385845 which is active right now and still I am getting his SMS. UK contact number is +448719154221. Please be ware of this kind of people who talk sweet. He said he is from UK but his English speaking sounds like Nigerian. I wish this person send to jail while I am still acting innocent and keeping his number active.

Carlos Luciano - Glasgow - a widowed dad of 1 daughter
Hello Carlos!! This time, you got the wrong girl!! hahaha
You are not the person you say you are, so I think our friendship ends here! - I might be blonde, but I'm not stupid!
I was born with a dektetiv in the stomach and examine everything around me before I set out in the world.
and thanks to my senses and abilities, we came no longer .. too bad! for i'm in fact an honest girl, which is more than you can say about you! - My concern about your first mail that appeared to be well justified ..so goodbye Carlos ... and enjoy your shabby life!!
See why....

SCAMED
I live in Danmark. I have a chattings friend. His name is Carlos Luciano. british, from Glasgow, Scotland. I knew him from facebook. He is finding a real woman to serious relationship. He likes me. And he said loves me and would to meet me in Danmark. 14 january 2012 he travelled to malaysian for bussiness trip. He is bussiness man, sell goods arts and handycraft. He got some trouble under journey, He should pay balancing money to ship goods, and he should pay to malaysian police cos he has bought stolen goods, his daughter was operated in malaysian, etc. All money , he needs , it comes from me, cos he can not use his bank on line(Royal bank of scotland)in Malaysia. its sound stranger, cos I heard that british can use RBS on line in Indonesian ??. I have sent money to him amount money about 105.000 Dkkk ( 53.000 Rm) he promised to pay back , when he come back to Uk. I have suspicion in the last transfering cos every times he will leave Malaysia, he would get trouble. COULD BE A SCAM. He has telefon number in
