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.

This is NOT UK number, this is VOIP number , it means is made that by the phone owner just to show up on your caller ID. This number can be used from anywhere in the world and its loved by scammers. Thats how I fell for scam and lost 50 000 USD.

Loretta, please check this profile. The fact pattern is obvious. It smells like something that belongs to a scammer, such as:
- talks about marriage right away
- marine engineer
-consultant for a fortune 500 company
- not able to find "the one" because of engineering job
- bi-racial (American-Canadian)

If he is fake, then I hope this will help potential victims.
