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.

I can´t believe exists this kind of men and I was a victim a man named Berry Shaw, he asked me money and sent the next persons: Mohammad Bin Hamzah and Zulkefli bin Jamrus, their adress: Lot B-1 3-A, No. 2 Jalan 12/144A Taman Bukit, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, his email: gordy_berry@yahoo.com, phones +60 16-979 1492, +60 10-973 1014.
He said to be originally from San Diego, architect and consultant, who has worked in various parts of the world and that his latest work was performed for the Government of Malaysia building bridges and part of the airport, ending the last year which returned to San Diego, but in January of this year returned to Malaysia because they already were going to pay for their services.
A few days later he asked me to have a relationship and in the following weeks asked me money, because de had to pay taxes and a document officially from the International Trade Chamber.
Besides liar is an usurper, he has photos of another person in his FB.

Could be the same but different age as they alter their identity depending on who they are talking to. Could be different too as there are just tons of them out there. The only common thing is the story line, that is, they are both "contracting", usually Malaysia and UK,and in need of money.

These people have NO soul. I'm really disturb thinking how they become the person they are now. Their parents, their brothers/sisters, their relatives, the friends they made before becoming scammers, grammar teacher...do they know who these persons are now?

lala - Same scammer?
lala - Could we be talking to the same scammer? The scammer’s story with me is: he’s 62, from US and UK. He says he is working in contracting in KL, Malaysia. Needed money for business – I did send money to help at first but it is never enough. I realize he is not moving to the US. And there is no end to money needed and they want all you can send them until you are penniless. It is a scam that I am experiencing it now know.

What age does your scammer say he is? Do you have pictures? We could share some information and see if we have the same “catfish” on the line! My email is: cat.fishburn@gmail.com. I am hopeful other women will read our stories and not send these guys one cent! I have learned too late that a "real" man will video chat and he will certainly not ask for money!!!!!

Follow up on scammer reporting
Thank you Lorretta for your assistance. I contacted my local Police Department and local FBI and gave them reports. I also filed a report with IC3 yesterday. I will send information to the local officials in Malaysia this week. Thanks for the contacts. I will also notify government and law enforcement organizations in Malaysia, US and Nigeria if that will help.

I tried “Readnotify” and was disappointed that the service changed my email address and email header so that it would have informed the scammer that I was using that service. I can’t recommend that service unless the scammer has never gotten an email from the address – they will certainly know we are on to them if we send through “Readnotify”.

I checked Google Image and found the picture of the man who my scammer had stolen. I notified the man in the pictures that his identity had been stolen and that I would need to submit his pictures to various places because there was a scammer behind his pictures. He said he found out last year that his pictures and been stolen and understood what I needed to do. I though he needed to know before I started sending it out since he is also a victim. Do the scammers check sites like Romancescams.org or Romancescam.com for information?

Would it help to notify “The Star” news service in KL or any other news media? Do they help catch these scammers with news stories?

Thanks again, Ami Coy

Mark Feivel Mayer, claims to be from Texas
Refinery deal in Malaysia,

Calls himself Mark Feivel Mayer from Texas, pictures used stolen from US scientist in SF. GOOGLE image lists endless scammer stories associated with these images.
LORETTA: I have several bank accounts used in Malaysia for his transactions, where do I best report them? Filed with US authorities already, looking for Malaysian contact to investigate as I know one of the accounts is already under official fraud investigation in KL.

Where can I post the pics for you, I'm sure you've seen his face plenty before.
Thanks
