Just wanna share regard to a scam i almost fall into and regardless you are a male, female, young or old, hetrosexual or homosexual you have to be alert and not fall into this kind of scam.
I shall name it DATING APP AKA KL SCAM.
Here how this scam come about.
basically there is this guy from Oversea suddenly messaged me. and mention that he want to be friend with me in the dating apps.( the apps can be OKCupid , Tinder, and so on).
i thought it was just friend so we end up exchange number. This Guy who so called Brown end up having conversation with me in Whatsapp. and introduction and so on.
in case you people asking am i gay and yes i join the gay dating apps it does kill by making friend right.
well we hardly chat much as there is time differences.
so yes that where we introduce and know what each party work as and so on.
that where you know he is a business man or woman .
after a week of chatting and so on ...
here where he strike a chance to say he is coming over to your side.
he want to take the trouble to visit me in singapore that kind of melt my heart. some more he still have a business trip to attend to in korea..
so nice ar?
the day he flying he msg me..
he even send me the schedule of his flight
what surprises me is why didn't he send the flight to singapore for me to see which flight he is in.
at this point there is no suspicious activity.
He messaged me to day he is at Hong kong and is transferring to KL.
then from KL to singapore.
i feel it kind of something wrong with this guy.
why did he have to transfer so many thing when you can have a flight to Singapore from HK. it totally make no sense at all.
At 1256 pm i received a text which is a malaysian number.
this is the part where you are lost and confused as you have never encounter this..
1st question come to my mind who the hell will bring so much money on him?2. if you are detained why do he even have the time to get a local simcard in KL.
3.paying penalty? why is the penalty only 4800rm( est S$1600)
after i read i am kind of lost. can you imagine your friend who took trouble to visit you when he need to go for his business trip.
that where you kind of pity him and think maybe can help a bit.
For me as a singaporean, i am paranoid already.. is this a SCAM or what. i went to tell this matter to my friends.
Most of them mentioned it might be a scam...
one of them offered me a link regard to this KL scam in the airport when the person was detained. as i read i went to dig out info from various side.
AND then...
i received calls from Malaysia which barely ring like 2 sec and hang up expecting me to call back. but i didnt.
thing was coming thru my mind
As a sound person,
1. Who would be dumb enough to bring hard cold cash? There is ATM and CC card to cash out money
2. Immigration would not check your belongings and count the cash. Unless the person was being tipped off.
3. All checkpoint would shove you the declaration form , and even in the plane you will get one.
4. If you are just being dumb, the custom officers will also give you the form
5. Application to authorise you to bring in the money requires no admin fee. If so, the bank charges minimally like 20 bucks.
Then i then received a whatsapp message this brown.
he lashed out a word mentioned that i am wicked and heartless.
in my heart i am like who i take you for? you as a friend i know not long . how audacity you dare to say i am wicked and heartless.
i acted blur and try to see if how urgently he want me to transfer the money to him and lied that i am a student.
he is desperate for me to give him the money.
so i started to question him. and lied about not having the money. and try to seek solution for him.
he mentioned that he will pay me back with interested. and he admitted he running out of patience.
this time i purposely ask if he is at KL airport.
so he then ask me what the update. knowingly he is trying to avoid my question. so i ask again.
once he say that he is at the airport.
i offered him a help.
Mentioned to him that i got a "friend" working in KL airport and ask him where is he at.
asked him to take a pictures so i can call my "friend" to go over to help him.
then he turn nasty and ask me if i am willing to help him.
i of cos mentioned to him that i am helping. why aren't he trust me.
of cos he dont trust me. as he didnt even know me or my friend at all.
By then he already know that i know what is going on and he is scamming me..
so i lashed out my last words before i blocked him.
oh well you mess up with person her you go and get a bitchy attitude.
this how the end of the scam and i am thankful i didnt get SCAM!!!
here is the number of the guy.
Dont even know this picture is it even him.
here below is a few cases as well.
