became a teror

[AlanJones]

That will be one of the scammer's associates trying to convince you that he has really been detained by immigration.

thank you for all your advice.
But it seems they will never stop.
I have already block his access to me.but i don't know how he still can make contact to me.
Now it make me scared.

Hello shasha,

The scammer may not give up easily but he will eventually move on. The more you ignore him the faster this will happen. Stealing money is the only goal of these scammers. They may threaten and harass you but really they are just after your money not to cause you harm. I'm very glad to see you got suspicious and seeked advice in time to stop the money transfer that was close!

Just keep ignoring him I promise it will be over soon.

hi,justin...
yes,it was so close.but now i feel like life in teror.
He keep calling me.i have already change my mobile number.
But i don't know how , he got my private number.

It may be scary but he can't hurt you calling you or sending you an email. These scumbags often resort to intimidation as a last resort to try and steal their victims money. He will give up and move on. To quote one of my favorite sayings "This too shall pass."

Were here to support you keep staying strong.

Justin

thank you for the support.
the things make me worried is it seems he always can get the access to make contact to me,even i have already change my number and all of my password.

Welcome to Scamwarners, shasha!
I'm so sorry that you have been targeted by the scammer using the name of Bruce Williams. I understand how scared you are feeling right now. I hope that you have some friends and family members that can help to support you through this. I'm glad that you found your way to Scamwarners and were able to cancel the money transfer.
I know that it's really hard right now, but hold strong. It shouldn't take the scammer too much longer to realize that there won't be any money coming from you. Then he will stop trying to contact you and will move on to his next victim.

Sasha, Please don't worry. We have seen your posts. There is nothing the scammer can do or will do. You just have to accept that for a short while he will try to terrorise you into parting with money. The best thing to do is to ignore it all and not give the slightest idea that any calls or messages are actually being received. He probably isn't sure if they are . He will give up soon. Of course any money request should be ignored, He may try a different tactic and pretend to be someone entirely different, by making a new facebook page perhaps, but you will soon know, and it will involve sending money which I am fairly sure you will not do.The immigraion officer game was one example.

Hello Shasha,

It is great you were able to get the money transfer stopped. Of course that will confuse and upset the scammer.

But it doesn't stop right there,now he and she always call me . I have already block his access to me,change my phone and mobile number,change my internet account password.but i don't know how they still can contact me.it's really feels like teror.
It doesn't stop yet till now.i really need help to stop alk of this.please help me..

I am not certain how the scammer would have obtained your new phone number. There must be some link to you that he was able to find. If you have the ability to see the incoming numbers, I suggest you ignore any calls from anyone you do not directly know.

Regarding contact by email, you need to block the scammer's email address so messages do not come to you. You may need to abandon the email address the scammer knows you at. If you are still on Facebook, it would be important to make the privacy settings to "Friends only" and make sure the scammer is not listed as a friend anymore.

If you are uncertain about how to do these things, please ask either by PM or in this thread.

As Helen and Began said, you may have to tolerate the scammer contacting you for a short period of time, until he gets the message that you are not going to respond anymore.

IF the scammer has threatened you, it is a good idea to speak to the law enforcement agency in your area. Scammers do not typically show up at anyone's house. The do their "work" over the internet. If you gave him any personal information or photos, beware that he may use those against you. He is more likely to just go away and look for more victims once you stop responding to him.

Please let us know how else we can help you. Be strong and don't respond to the scammer in any way.

Unless you are expecting an important phone call, you can just ignore the telephone ringing, then the scammer will get bored of it and stop.

hi david,
unfortunately i can't do that.
Cz my work is necessittate me to take any call to phone and mobile.even i don't know the directly number who call.

hi..helen,began,bubbles..
Thank you so much for your concern,advice and support.i'm so grateful to find this forum.

Too bad,i can't closed my all information access,cz my work is so much depend to internet and phone accsess.

Oh my God..bubbles you reallize me that i have giving my picture to him few times.what i have to do now?

You don't have to worry about your photos. The scammer could be in contact with more victims, and getting their photos. When these scammers ask for photos it is just part of their scam to make it more real. Usually they don't do anything with photos or information they get from their victims.

thank you for your explanation , david.

Today he call me again with differ number.but still using Malaysia country code.
I ignore that call and they keep calling till now.
I wish it will be stop soon.
