Sheraton Hotels/Western Union

Bonjour Dupedchef.

Well, exactly the same story for me and in the same time... I did my interview on the 30 of January, two days after I had my application form, contract, everything amazing professionnaly done. At this time I 've been searching on the net and did not find anything suspicious and by the way I didn't know that this kind of fraud could exist "what a wonderful world".
It coasted me 1550 euros, I quitted my job in a ski resort to be ready for them and of course they have a copy of my passport, my address etc...
I sended my money via Western union to Mohamad AFIF HUSSIN, 129 jalan sultan ismail 50250 Kuala Lumpur:
which is the address of the hotel and when I 've been searching this name before send the money it seemed like a guy from a bank...What about you?
This Haikal Maarof (real name of the HR in the Sheraton) finded my CV on "lhotellerie.com", one the famoust site in France.
I called yesterday the headquarters Starwood in America, the Malaysian ambassy in Paris, 'lhotellerie", the Sheraton in Kuala Lumpur but impossible to speak to the general manager or Mr Maarof and tomorrow morning the french ambassy in KL.
Well, when you read (in France, must be the same in every countries) the conditions to get the money via WU, you need to present an ID to get more than 500 euros...So if we are all sending money to the same bastard etc, it could be really possible and quite easy to catch him...?
Of course we will never see our cash again but I can imagine with pleasure this crook in gel with a fat guy telling him I love you!
You told on your message that you know 30 cases like you and me, could it be possible to do something all together, in case maybe the police in Malaysia will do it seriously...
I hope you will answer soon then we can manage quickly something.
Here is my site for you to be sure about who I am www.guillaumechambon.com
Have a good day, I hope you'll keep in touch!

I at the same problem of dupedchef, theyduped chef myself, sorry my l speak french!!!
WITH HAIKAL MAROOF

Oh no, chefs, this is terrible!

I have spoken with Haikal Maarof and he is aware of everything and I have sent all correspondence between the scammers and myself

I will set up an email address and you guys can send me your emails you have received from the scammers and I will send them to the real Haikal Maarof

HI,
thanks to you all, i found this forum just in time before sending my money. you can imagin how much i'm chocked, disappointed and angry.
I have exactly the same mail, the same story, the same call conference and this aikal maarof.

i begain suspicious when i had to sand the money to a person and not the hotel. We can say that all those bastard are well organised. i worked for starwood before and the contract they automaticly sand is a really good copy.

as you all, i am destroyed from an emotional point. i didnt pay "thanks" but i have announced it to my famely/ friends/ coworker and of course my fiancé wich was so happy.


+60166729343 number from Haikal Maarof "the fake " of course... called me
[email protected] mail of aikal maarof

this call conferance was with two guys " the fake Kurt Vieren, who's from belgium and is actualy the Hotel Manger at the sheraton kuala lumpur ((( on the contract they make him appear as General Manager))
and Haikal Maarof with is crappy accent. Kurt vieren actualy had a good and serious english, so i had no reson to be suspicious after all this.

they asked to transfer the money through Western Union
at the travel and event manager. ((Mohamad Ridzwan/ Haqqimy Ismail))
at the adress of the hotel ( jalan sultan ismael kuala lumpur, 50250 Malaysia)

so really not suspicious cause its the real mail and adresse, i still do not anderstand.
they asked 50% of the ticket, so 1400,29 euros

i looked for this Mohamad Ridzwan on Linkedin and you can find him AND at kuala lumpur, but not working for the sheraton.


so, at this moment they dont know that i discovered them shits..
if somebody have an idea to get them or if i can help with mails or else, please let me know.
I am not very good with computer skills and i dont have a pretty good english.

but if i can help to put them in prison in kuala lumpur, it will be with pleasure. i know about the regim of prison overthere and i'll be really really happy to know them in for long time.

we have to do somthing for other pepole!! what a fucking world, that poeple do not have heart..


waitting for your respons

t f&b

sheratonhotel-kl.com is in the process of being reported for fraud.

If they are on process why they are still on me?
asking money and giving account details as i asked.

It can take weeks, and repeated reports, to get a site shut down. sheratonhotels-kl.com was hosted by Micfo, who shut it down quickly; sheratonhotel-kl.com is hosted by Hostdime.

Email me at Removed. Please use PM function. BW

Dear all,
It looks like they didn't stop at all.
Just a couple of days ago I applied for a position in KL Sheraton, to sort out the fraud. I realized only when they asked to send the 50% of the flight ticket to a bank account in Sarawak.
Here below the copy of the received mail.
