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.

To Angie
You have never met this friend in person, right? This is a common online scam: They befriend people online, arrange a "visit", and then claim that something has happened which requires you to pay money to save them.

Whatever you do, do not send any more money. These are professional scammers and will try to come up with any story to persuade you to keep throwing your money away.

It's unfortunate that people like this would prey on the generosity of kind strangers, but that's the world today.
