HELP - don't want to believe I'm being scammed !

If a scammer has no way of contacting you, he will also have no way to deliver any threats and therefor will not bother to do anything about it.

It is very important that you completely ignore them, do not reply to emails, if they have your number have their's blocked, if you accidentally answer the phone and find it is them, hang up, they can not make threats if you shut them out and it will show them that no matter what they do they wont get any money from you.

As the others have said, he is only after money, take that option from him and he will go away

mandi66 and mandi66 - one thing people who have suffered at the hands of a scammer can do is support others who have suffered similarly and you can provide an insight into the feelings and affect of scams that I don't possess.

If you live long enough something bad will happen in your life that you'll have to deal with, and it's how you recover from it that makes the difference. I've had my share and you have to make it a comma and not a full stop. If it knocks you down a few rungs of the ladder, the sooner you start climbing again, the sooner you'll put it behind you.

Dear all
Recently my friend was being scammed by the guy. His name is Smiths hesky brans. My friend got the message from him on WAYN.com. He admitted that he is working in Scotland seaport and his position is project manager. But he closed his account in that site. We just discovered this site, and maybe it's little bit to late coz my friend just sent him 500 USD to him via western union with the name of Mahani Mohamed in Jalan sepang-Kuala Lumpur- Malaysia. He promised to come to Jakarta. He sent my friend his passport, his id card and his flight schedule. He Always called my friend 3 times a day but the funny thing is that he hide his numbers. When my friend wanted to call his UK's numbers, it succeeded. Then on the 18 th August he called my friend said that the custom officer in the Kuala Lumpur arrested him because he brings too much money. He called my friend and asked her to send 1000 USD to the name of Mahani Mohamed. She works as a custom officer in Malaysia. Then the next day, my friend sent me 300 USD via western union to the same name.After my friend sent the money, my friend received text from him. He asked how much is in the malaysia money and asked my friend name and her address which she has been using o sent the western union. He still keep contact my friend and just asking what are you doing, where are you, etc.One day my friend chatted with Mahani Mohammed on WAYN.com. She said it's true that she arrested Smiths and he was being begging and crying all days. She admitted that Smiths must pay money but she didn't mention specifically. Mahani said to my friend, help him. Then My friend sent a letter to UK embassy in jakarta and kuala lumpur. Both of them said my friend had being scammed and suggested my friend to call the police. Until a week, he admitted to my friend that he still in the KLIA Airport. The background while he is on the phone is still crowded. A week passed no news about his, until My friend called him again, he said he is in the embassy guest house until now. Until 3 days ago, he still wanted to borrow 100 USD, when my friend she didn't have money, he reduced the amount until 50 USD. He said to sent it to a guy named Abdul Usman on jalan Sepang-Kuala Lumpur-Malaysia. My friend said she really doesn't have money. My friend never sent the money again to him. My friend often chat with him until now. On Saturday 11 sept, he showed his cam on the chat room. but my friend only saw at glimpse. He said he wanted to get coffee in the dining room. Until last night, my friend and he still chat. This morning, we found his profile on the dating site. He wants to meet girl from Indonesia aged 32-40 years old. We want to call the police but we don't have any money.Please help my friend to give her money back...she needs it to her family.He sent e-mail and chatted with my friend with english but his words are short and sometimes missed grammar. (hello....he is a British, it's odd, isn't it?). His e-mail addy is: [email protected].

Thank you and please help my friend.

I wish I could give you better news, but your friend is not going to get her money back.

The real man in contact with her is not British, and his name is not Smith hesky brans. He is African, and he is most likely one of thousands of Africans in Malaysia on a student visa. The ID he sent her is faked. She has no idea what his real name is.

I'm guessing the UK phone number that worked started with 44-70. That is not really a UK number. It is a redirect phone number that can be forwarded to phones all over the world. Calls are undoubtedly being forwarded to his cell phone.

I can only confirm what Dotti has said. If you Google the e-mail address he's been using you'll find it involved in lots of scams, for a long time.

The scammer is a liar, cheat and thief and, as you don't know any real facts about him, he'll never be caught.

He'll contact your friend again, maybe with a story that he's now in hospital, close to death and needs medical fees. Nothing he says will ever be the truth and all he wants is money.

dear Esugiha,

thanks for posting your comment here. actually, one of these 3 guys, well, he is in Malaysia now.

I will like to see what they are trying to do with me then. Don't worry, i will update to all of you girls. If man had the pride, we as woman, also had the pride. About your semi-nude, i guess it is better be careful in future.

Anything about this guy, please do expose. Never keep to yourself. I will be helping out too.

Dear Linda,


Thank God I found this site...

Because I think I met that guy you've been talking about.
and yes, i met him on WAYN site few weeks ago...
at 1st i kind of ignore him,because he never told me anything about his life...
then, he sent all his pictures his UK passport and his UK ID card as UK citizen.
and he never said rags, so i think that he's been genuine..

He said that he wants to visit me ( i live in SOLO), and he showed me his ticket...
and yes, the flight is from London to Kuala Lumpur and to Denpasar.. a bit odd isn't it?
and I check the airlines that stated on the ticket "royal dutch airlines" it's KLM.
but, the flight schedule is not matched with the ticket.

and I kind off suspicious because I just found that 2 men I knew from WAYN is lying to me.
First, his name is Daniel Richard and he said that he's working in a construction company and open his own firm in London, he's the only son in the family and his father died. We emails several time, until one day he asked my address because he wanted to send me package from London. He used "World Link Courier Service" which he said the head office is in London.
Then about 4 days later I received email from the courier service from Malaysia (where the package is transit before deliver to Indonesia) that my package is being hold by the authority because they detect currency inside the package. I checked with Daniel and he said that he sent some money inside the package. The courier service in Malaysia is asking for service and admin fee about US$ 999. Gees... it's a lot of money, isn't it..I try to call the PIC in malaysia but the numbers can't be contacted. Even from the website itself http://www.wlc-service.com.

The other man I met from WAYN, his name is Craig Austin but he registered as Peter Smith on WAYN.
We have some emails, chat and even phone calls. sent me some pictures too...He works in a constructions company and have no father and mother and he's the only son. same story that they all said they are the only son. Have no brother and sister and not having good relationship with their relatives. He also said that he wanted to come and visit me after his duty in Africa. But, yesterday when we're chat he told me that in africa can't use his USD and also his credit card is being block. He spent all his money on paying hotel bills..and because he needs to open his credit card so he can use it there, he asked me some money about US$ 450.
I got stuned... I never trust anybody regarding money... since I also don't have that kind of money...
then i searched his name on the internet and find the real craig austin who is a journalist from London... i even open the website and can see all the same picture that guy sent me before..

so think we all have to be very carefull... don't ever trust someone that you haven't met....

cheers,
