I knew the guy from coffee and bagels apps and I only provide my what id to him to add me (i don't like giving out my numbers). The guy who claims his name is John working as a contractor (drilling engineer) and doing a contract in Kuwait  and will have a 2 yr contract in S’pore with Semcorp. He claims he is an American born Chinese, staying in Pittsburgh. 

After chatting with him for some time, he shared that he wished to settle down and start a family in S’pore and wanted to secure PR using his 2 yr contract with Semcorp (which I doubt this will work). In the mid-end he claimed that he supposed to be in S’pore, but there are some issues with the mud pump and trying to pay his Chinese supplier so that the mud pump can be delivered to him by cargo flight. Thereafter he mentioned he cannot get the money out because he could access the bank web due to the restriction in the Kuwait network and where he was situated (the region outskirt), he also claimed that the IT side told him that the only way for him to access the bank website is to get a 3rd party outside Kuwait to help him. 

He then told me that he needed to get out of Kuwait to meet me in person but he is stuck there and he cannot leave the region till he finished his contract there and got the mud pump in. He then proceeded to instruct me to visit the bank site and see whether the server work and wanted me to complete the transaction for him, he even claimed that he did this because he trusted me. 

I rejected his request and told him that it/s illegal to access someone else account. If he needed to do this real and urgent, he should contact his banker. If he had a big contract in Kuwait, he should have known that such a transaction required his own authorisation. Therefore, I requested him to forward me a photocopy of his passport and send me an authorised letter for a 3rd party to access the account. And I would forward them to our cybersecurity office to check on the website and make sure all are legal before I proceeded and this was when this "John" went MIA.

I hope all to be alert of such, especially online scamming, never trust anyone online till you meet the real person and get along well and ask for every detail.
