This guy added me on FB and purportedly name as ALVIN CHEUNG and claimed himself as AMERICAN BORN CHINESE. He claimed himself as DIRECTOR OF OFFSHORE DIAMOND COMPANY, living in LOS ANGELES.

HE SPEAKS ENGLISH BUT CANNOT UNDERSTAND COMPLICATED ENGLISH. DUE to his nature of work HE IS ALWAYS ON THE SHIP AND he cannot use FACEBOOK AND He requested for WhatsApp. HE WILL often CALL ME ON WHATSAPP CALL BUT HE ONLY UNDERSTANDS VERY SIMPLE ENGLISH.

HE STARTS ASKING ABOUT ME AND LATER SAYS I LOVE YOU AND START SWEET TALKING TO ME. He says he wants to start a life and do some real estate investment and asks if I could ask for pricing from a few real estate agents and we will split the profit. I agreed he said he will transfer me the money At a later time.

A few days of conversation, he said he HAD SEND ME SOME gifts AS SURPRISE AND will send it to me by courier. A few days pass and he told me the parcel is stuck in Malaysia. He later revealed that the courier company is demanding a ransom money and that he put 1 million dollars inside the parcel. The money he promised that he will send me to do property investment.

The courier company which I later found out was fake wanted me to send 50,000 so that they can release the parcel. I transferred the money to the courier company BUT the parcel never came. When I called them they said there was no such company and the ransom message was fake and there was no such person who provided me the Malaysian bank account.

I was angry and I asked him to return me my money. He kept saying "relax honey, I will give you back your money."

A few weeks later, He said he will come to meet me in SINGAPORE when his ship reach Singapore he will pass me the money. He told me when he Will meet me on a certain day and time. But last minute he said his mother fell sick and he had to fly back to USA.

A few weeks later, he kept saying that he will return me my money but he never did. Suddenly he said he had a lawsuit and needed money for lawsuit and wanted me to transfer 1500 to his lawyer.

This was when I realised I may have been scammed. I called him to return my money and he KEPt saying that he will and he kept sweet talking to me.

Finally I realised that I may have BEEN scammed. I asked him for his passport and he sent it to me. My friend then told me that the passport looks fake. that was when I realised I have been scammed.
