Internet Love Scam
We met on tinder, very quickly he claimed he doesnt often on tinder, we shifted to Whatsapp. he claimed he is staying in texas. after few weeks of talking, he said he wanted a meet up, he said he has a business trip to malaysia over the weekend.  He invited me to go to Malaysia to find him but I declined. Then, he said that he would fly over for me after his work is completed. After an hour, he landed in Malaysia, he left several messages for me, claiming that he was detained due to having excessive cash with him. He said that the Customs arrested him and seized his money of USD$800,000, and he has to pay usd3500 for a money laundering certificate before they release him and return money to him. he said he was given the phone for few min just to call or message me. i didnt reply and then report his number to whatsapp.

his number is +16072585368
