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.

diplomatic lugagge.
recently a senior from liverpool uk mr named Hakeem bin musa claims to have sent a box expensive items and money. a few days later, an official at the airport called me and said the box, but subject to tax until 5000.
interval of 4 days, I received a call from the embassy by someone named mr collins who asked me to insert money into the accounts of his staff named Nurul haizar bint Hashim. it is dealing with payment for the box. I unfortunately had to give 1000. how stupid I am.
please ask the embassy to investigate!

IS THIS SCAM OR TRUE
I have a friend that really sick now. this friend of mine has a friend from uk citizen name eric sean. eric came to malaysia on 9.3.2012. He was arrested by a customs officer on that date and one lady name fatimah called her to ask for payment of penalty by RM45000.00 to released him. but due to a difficulty to get money the customs has to asked another payment for RM53,000.00 as a late payment. the Customs officer promise to release him and help eric to prepared all documents and helps to change the money in dollar and open new accounts. Now eric sean was under police custody with his luggage that have money (one millions US dollar). when eric called at uk ambassy in kuala lumpur, the ambassy said its too late and he have to go to the court. His lawyer was Mr donald from that ambassy. Eric said he needs to pay RM10,000.00 to that lawyers in order to process his documents and to release his money laundering. This friend of mine already pay RM2000.00 but still have to pay the balance of RM8000.00. I just feel pity to this friend because she have to one to ask for money and she is very sick. I just want to know whether this person name eric sean and the lawyers name Mr donald is really really exist.
