Is this a scam?

[axelc]

Hi I am a filipina that lives in hastings with a british husband and a 7 months old son.

The issue is about my sister.
She is talking to this guy from bristol. She said they are gf and bf online but she is not really expecting too much anymore coz she learned her lessons already in the past that she expected too much from people she talk online and then they end up liars and scammers

They`ve been talking since febuary this year. They never seen each other on webcam. They see each others pictures and he calls her guess twice a month and whenever she left offline message to him and asked him to call he will then call her. They chat on yahoo but dont send each other email.

When my sister mentioned to him last april that she wants to go back college he said why do you have to when im coming there to marry you. But she didnt believe it coz they dont have proper communication really.

I talked to my sister yesterday and she told me that she receive email from him saying he sent her 1 HP laptop, gold neklace, 1 black berry phone, hand bag chocolate and sum of £10, 000 cash in an envelope.

He said he sent that money for her expenses anf so she could prepare for the wedding. he also attached a reciept of sending this items and gave my sister the website www.airlink-worldwide.de.tl he gave her the user name and the password so my sister could track the parcel. I log in to the website and it says he realy did send a parcel using ths courier from bristol but it didnt say what is in that parcel. I also read the reciept he attached and it says in there the items he sent which is the phone and etc except the money that he didnt declare in there.


Now this morning i talk to my sister again and she said someone sent her a text saying she has a parcel but ite been hold on malaysia coz it has money on it thats not been declared and then they phone her that they want customs clearance fee of 2000 usd.


I am just wondering why did i able to log in the courier website and track the parcel. Why will someone wants to scamm my sister when he knows she dont have money lol.
This is the 2nd time that a person she meet online from UK tried to scamm her. I just feel for her. She should be the one scamming them lol joking. Now i realize that scammers are everywhere lol

[Dedworth]

What kind of lunatic would send £10000 and all those other goodies in an envelope ? :laugher:

If it sounds too good to be true ..............................

Rather than Bristol he's probably in Lagos

[kate_th]

customs will confiscate it automatically if they found out that the consignor didnt declare the items in parcel... so thats a scammmm......

[axelc]

Yeah right thats why my hsuabnd and i laughed yesterday and my sister said she thinks she will receive a phone call asking for money and she really did today they want 2000 dollars lol.


I just feel for her she is 32 and is sincerely looking for a partner. She dont ask money and dont scam. But she always end up talking to this people online that is liar and 2 british tried to scamm her and in real life she always end up with someone that treats her bad. But why does other female scammer out there always find someone who is real and meet someone that is really nice. I just feel for her

[Dedworth]

It's a shame for her.You could try and match her up with one of the single fellas on here. Scammers and wind up merchants get screened out quite efficiently.

[Steve.r]

scam ..... tell her to run a mile and not look back :cwm23:

[Bluebirdjones]

Total & utter scam.

Have a read of http://www.mmail.com.my/content/60897-fake-air-waybill-used-birthday-gift-rm30000-cash

... basically the same modus operendi

[axelc]

we know its a scam but its so annoying and i feel for her she wasted her time again talking to another time waster.

Its so unfair for her. They dont get money from her coz she dont have money but She is seriously and sincerely looking. and they waste her time and energy. Im the one annoyed lol. I just want her to be happy and find nice guy but she always end up with time wasters

[axelc]

bluebirdjones The fake airway bill in that website you posted is the same receipt of the receipt he attachd to his email to her lol:cwm23:

[scott&ligaya]

you should "advertise" her here, there are regular guys joining looking for a "sensible and honest" filipina partner (helps if she is drop dead gorgeous LOL) just joking, most Filipinas are way cuter ann so much younger looking than your average local lady. I think you will find that she can find someone through here and see where it goes. If he is liar or cheat, we will send Tawi2 round with a large gun hehehehehehe

[axelc]

thank you scott&ligaya. She is 32 but she looks younger than me and i am 28. She is so small 4`10 and just 35 kilos. She is goodlooking in the philippines but i dont know in british eyes coz my husband said i am prettier than her coz he prefer my flat nose hahahahaha lol. But how can i advertise her here so she could start to talk to someone here and get to know them? thank you again

[Steve.r]

A photo would help, or even get her to register here and tell her own story. There are genuine men here who are looking for that special someone. :)

[Farmerg]

I'm sorry to hear what happened to your sister, I had someone try and scam me too so I know how much it can hurt & how stupid you feel even if they don't get any money out of you.

[kate_th]

the best thing to do is ignore him since its not threatening her...:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Terpe]

There was a similar scam here some time ago.

Rather than Bristol he's probably in Lagos

It's a certainty that he will have a West African accent, not a West English one

[Tawi2]

Is this a scam?
Yes.

If he is liar or cheat, we will send Tawi2 round with a large gun
I have a friend working in Nigeria as a security consultant,he can do it :icon_lol:

:iagree:, Marc ... the link you've posted is typical 'scam' material in that, the very practice of prefixing the names of [purported] "clients" with 'Mr' IS, in itself, one of the first - and most glaringly-obvious - telltale signs.

As of course, are the careless slip-ups where the simplest of words are mis-spelt!!:doh

Fine by me, but that profile pic is from a 'few' years ago.

Maybe I'm too old and ugly now. :cwm3:

[sweetnote143]

I just feel for her she is 32 and is sincerely looking for a partner. She dont ask money and dont scam. But she always end up talking to this people online that is liar and 2 british tried to scamm her and in real life she always end up with someone that treats her bad. But why does other female scammer out there always find someone who is real and meet someone that is really nice. I just feel for her

Life is really weird, isn't it? full of irony....I've asked that questions many time and I still haven't found an answer....my exes were nothing but liars, one even tried to propose to me despite I had a nagging feeling that he wasn't exactly truthful about the ex-gf story.....I found out in the end that the ex-gf was still his current gf and planning to get married.....I ended our relationship and went back home. Now they're married as what a common acquaintance told me...I said goodluck to his wife....if a man cheats before he is married, he will cheat even if he gets married. Marriage wont stop a man to cheat. That was a year ago. Why is it so hard to find someone who wants the same thing that I want, a serious relationship? My current bf who is not talking to me, I dont know what to make of him. I hope he'll decide when he is going to end his sulking so I can pick up myself and move on if we wants to end our relationship. I dont fall in love so easy, but when I do, I fall deep hard and it takes more than shovels to get me out of it.

I hope your sister will find a man who will love her more than she loves him. I've been told that it is best not to look for special someone and focus on your life, coz love knocks when you least expect it. I hope they're right. :)

Hi, :Wave:
I was used the same way, I married a Filipina in 2008 in the Philippines, she scammed me for a lot of money, I was blinded by love, turned out she had a baby by her Filipino boyfriend after we married and before she came to join me in the UK.

All she wanted was the visa to work here and as much money as she could get.:cwm23:

We are now divorced:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Mick.:)

[baby38]

Mick,did your ex wife bring the baby with her to the UK,or did it stay with the b/f back in the Phills.

[mickcant]

Mick,did your ex wife bring the baby with her to the UK,or did it stay with the b/f back in the Phills.

When she came to the UK, I did not know the baby exsisted!
I found out after she had left me to live with some other Filipinos who could get her a job.
