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.

New Story about Mark Collins
He contacted my Mum at Facebook. His email: markcollins_mc@yahoo.com
Now he told, that he lives in Atlanta/USA is a widow and had a son. He works for a big company as something like a architect. After a few days he said, that she loves my mom and will marry her. He knews nothing about my mum... he wants to meet her and will come to her. So I think its the same person like the comments before.

To Ummu Nissa
It is a scam. Once he has you hooked, he will tell you that he plans to come visit you, and then he will send you a frantic SMS saying he is caught at the airport by the police and needs you to send him money to bail him out. Once you send the money you will never hear from him again.
