KUALA LUMPUR: At least 200 people in the city have been conned of nearly RM10mil since early last year by Africans who entered the country on student visas, but never once stepped into a classroom.
Although these so-called “students” are enrolled in top colleges under fake scholarships, they are more often spotted cruising in flashy cars and frequenting nightspots.
These Africans are believed to be conmen who plied their shady trade overseas before dumping their ill-gotten gains in local banks and “settling down” here.
However, once here, they continue their activities by duping Malaysians of their life savings, using bank accounts of locals to cheat their victims, who are mostly single successful women, either divorced or widowed.
Among the most common scams are tricking Malaysians into paying for non-existent gifts, buying coloured water as “vaccines” to keep cattle healthy and disease-free, and “black money” cases.
City Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Asst Comm Izany Abdul Ghany, who revealed this, said it was alarming that despite numerous warnings, Malaysians continued to fall into the conmen’s trap.
He said scams operated by Africans topped the list of commercial crime cases in the city, reeling in the largest amount of ill-gotten money.
the list of commercial crime cases in the city, reeling in the largest amount of ill-gotten money.
“The numbers are rising. Between January last year and June, locals in the city alone were cheated of nearly RM10mil, and the figure could be higher because some victims are still unaware that they are being conned.
“The scams are committed throughout the country but the exchange of money usually takes place in the city,” ACP Izany said, adding that over 100 women and 80 men were conned since early last year.
ACP Izany said checks showed that these Africans had committed similar scams in other countries before coming to Malaysia.
“After these syndicates are busted, they enter Malaysia by using fake scholarships apparently given by their country of origin,” he said.
He added that many of the women conned would freely give up their money after being swept off their feet by Africans who lured them with sweet talk and promises.
“The conmen target single women in their 30s and 40s. The victims include doctors and university lecturers,” he said, urging higher learning institutions and relevant agencies to scrutinise carefully the applications of foreign students.
Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department’s Cyber and Multimedia Investigation Division assistant director ACP Mohd Kamarudin Md Din said in some cases, the victims had met the conmen through social networking websites. They would usually post pictures of other people, sometimes of famous models, just to get closer to the victims.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin said there was a “small number” of foreign students involved in crime here, most of whom had entered the country illegally.
He urged the police to provide the ministry with relevant information so that appropriate action could be taken.

Yes, James you are right. I heard all the private colleges are giving a kick back to the Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin and the Immigration Director General and both of them are responsible for bringing in hundreds and hundreds of Africans entering Malaysia daily. I think by now both would have made millions. The Anti corruption agency must check the bank account and assets they both bought from these ill gotten money. There are so many headlines has been published in the local newspapers about the African nuisance and if they are still coming in daily into Malaysia, The Higher Education Minister and Immigration DG are the main culprit.
When you meet a white engineer from UK or Australia online who travels a lot, but with terrible spelling and grammar. Later, request money urgently for whatever reason, BEWARE!!! It is 100% an African scammer mostly Nigerian.
Female students in colleges. If you are not comfortable with all these Africans who are harassing you, don't hesitate to report them to the police even they threaten you with voo-doo. Don't panic, voo-doo is not real. If it's real, Africa wouldn't have become a failed continent.
If you see Africans are doing something fishy in your area, please report or write down their addresses and send them to the nearest police station. Severe punishment is the only way to make these Africans mostly Nigerians who are behaving worst than chimpanzees to pay for their crimes.
i'm african and this is offensive because most of us are actually here for school. truth is this stuff is happening but its all NIGERIAN men, most of them are too old to be in school, how can you give a 35 year old man a visa to do a university foundation degree? honestly!
hahahha you all seem to be jealous and silly, you lazy malaysian men seem to be totally busy-body this time to African guy because malaysia men can not even satisfier their women and been all jealous when the see their girls with African guys, you people have to get something better to do with your life’s than been busy-body and jealous to some people that never recognise you people, i want you all malaysia men to know that your women got what they want and will always do because all malaysia women are gold-diggers so what do you think they will get back, all Malaysia women are looking for rich white men to marry them, when you ask malaysia woman why you dying for white men she said because malaysia men is not romantic and don't know how to take care of woman while their father took care of their mothers and gave birth to them, so why do they condemning their men while their mother did not hahahha so funny busy-body malaysia men just go to hell...
In your comment, you are showing signs that you are not well educated. The only reason for an African to worry so much is he's very afraid of getting arrested for doing something illegal here. Many Nigerians were arrested and some are facing the gallows.
Hahaha dear Shela stop panicking because i know that truth is always painful to Malaysian people ears, so just shut-up and face your house and car loan because I know your type….but I can help you if you don’t mind….OTULE..
Africans are from the poorest continent. Unlike in today's world where the large majority of africans not only can't afford a used car and a small hut that made out of mud and wood, they live and scavenge in the streets of the dusty cities in Africa. Most children in african families were asked not to go to school and end up being criminals.
i knw some nigerians had made some stories ...we all see it on the news tv papers and everything but why do you have to say Africans. not all of us do that.. i know a roten make all roten but africa is a big continet guys and most of us are not conmen. so pliz stop saying african, thats discrimination. oh and african countries are as poor as all the other countries and as far as im concerned no schools where closed so students could be criminals. malaysian people, taxi drivers, are the ones who snatch our bags rape us and then talk behind our back, thats sick. pliz get a life and stop ruining your own country.
More than 1000 rapes and 51 murders a day in Nigeria. There are 1400 rapes and 55 murders a day in South Africa. Your brothers(criminals) are really ruining the whole continent of Africa.
Primary school enrollment in africa countries is the lowest in the world. Half of africa's primary school-age children are not in school, and less than half of those entering first grade will complete their primary education. Africans cannot afford to send their children to school because the average africans live below 6 cents a day.
WE ARE ALL ONE, IM A MALAYSIA , MY WIFE IS A NIGERIA, I LOVE THEM, LET THERE BE PEACE LEAVE ANYONE AS LONG AS HE TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF. LET THERE BE PEACE
Most Wanted Nigerian scammers and drug dealers always have a pack of lies. A Malaysian man will never marry a Nigerian woman because it would bring dishonour to his families if he marry one of these uncivilised people.
Its so sad cos its all about business. they get arrested by the police but are thrown right back into the streets before you say "black sheep" lol
This is so sad. I think it's bcos the african police are poorly paid and are forced to subsidise their income through corruption. I have heard about the police corruption in africa but this is really horrifying. Nowonder african countries have a very high crime rate.
Idiot!! The stupid malaysian police have stupid salaries aswell and all take bribes so easily aswell! stop pointin out bads about others whilst u r worse!! More people die of hunger in asia then anywhere else around the world... so whose is poor? Plus asians are all TERRORISTS and dont desevr to live! TERRORISTS!!!!

LMAO!!!!
Donors like the US, UK and Japan sent billions of dollars to Sub-Saharan Africa to help better the living conditions of the extremely poor Africans. Instead those in the government spent the money themselves buying new cars, sending their children abroad and built mansions while more than 90% of the extremely poor Africans die from hunger. These extremely poor Africans are not educated and all they know is to think of sex and more often they rape their maothers sand sisters. Africans certainly don't live up to the standard of baboons. Africans are at the bottom, always have been and always will be.
Hey..who says asian got small engines? Wrong, wrong. wrong! According to the survey in fact asian has the most harder engines, whites and blacks has longer and bigger but softer engines.
The only good about whites/blacks are they are open when it comes to affection while asian are coy about it.
Bear this in mind!
"The only good about whites/blacks are they are open when it comes to affection while asian are coy about it." @Sahara owh now u knw so just know that the moment you act the way u act, the u re automatically an african
Hey Gee, am not an African!!! Am an Asian Female..
Malaysians complain every day about what Africans are doing here as if they are saints.They call us different names cheats, scammars. But Malaysian street private Colleges will go to Africa and advertise their college with western Universities pictures just to get the attentions of African parents to sent their kids here to study. But what do they see when they come here? To their surprise, the so called college is just located at a shop lot occupying just two floors or even one floor. Before the kids will see the so called campus, they have already collected tuition fees from this young kids at the airport for a year or even more.They collect tuition fees of above Rm15,000 for just a diploma program for a year that is not even recognize here.With such amount u can finish your masters degree in a public university here. yet even during holidays ,these children will not be allowed to take vacation jobs to supplement what they get from their parents which Malaysians studying in USA Canada,Australia etc are enjoying.what a selfish people.They will like to take from you but they will let you take from them. Now please tell me, who is cheating who ? Nobody complains about what those colleges are doing because they are Malaysian. But they cheat Africans with fake adverts in their home countries. I don't condone cheating my self but Malaysians are cheat themselves in this regard because they gave false information about their colleges.You cant eat your Cake and have it .
This is from your own Ambassador. The Nigerian High Commissioner to Malaysia has said it is highly regrettable because they have discovered that thousands of Nigerian students in Malaysia are not genuine. When these criminals arrive in Malaysia, they skip school and basically spend all their time doing all kinds of crimes. This makes them parasites as they are of absolutely no use or value to anyone and living off the money they get from committing crimes. They are a liability to Malaysia. The issues and problems with fake African students that happen here also happen in the U.S., Germany, China and the U.K.

Wake up! It's all over the news.
Nobody is perfect,even Malaysians are involve in crimes,have you bothered asking why Nigerians come to Malaysia to cheat Malaysians? its because Malaysians are stupid, and can be easily fooled, how can you say Malaysians are educated,yet they can be cheated by uneducated baboons as you call us, so who is the illiterate? we are baboons,monkeys,chimps calls us what you like, but we shall continue to fool you,because you are fools. those who post comments here,must have been cheated,so its just a way for them to express their anger. But never mind Africans, we shall continue to rid them of their money till they have no penny left. Malaysia is full of dull brains,gays and she-males. MALAYSIA TAK BOLEH..............I wonder what they ll say next....common fool speak your mind,and tell us how you have been cheated. because only fools can be cheated,a wise man can never be cheated. FOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSS
Nigerians were born in a culture of cheating. All they know is to con and sell drugs. Now, people are aware of nigerian scams. Many nigerians are serving prison terms and on death row for committing crimes in foreign countries. Nigerians will continue to go to prisons or gallows till there are no more nigerians left here. If nigerians are wise, why more than 100 million nigerians have no access to electricity services. The continuing mindless killings in nigeria clearly show that nigeria is full of barbaric, violent, uncivilised and brainless people. Please tell me how do you feel seeing so many of your race were killed.
Most Of The Nigerian are bastards by birth , most of the nigerian mothers are unwed mothers , some have a 3 kids from 3 different man, the kid need a daddy to teach him about morality don't blame the whoresons for not finding his father around .
Get out of our country! We Malaysians never welcome your H.I.V infested values and never will.We Malaysian should build a group or maybe organization to chase all these tyrant nigerians out of our country or at least build an awareness to these people.
they rape our women,they destroy our buildings,and they attract flies and cockroaches with their disease.
why dont u nigerians make it public and spill it to our face with u sleeping with our women and the fact that you have bigger engines.I love to see how we react.
these nigerians can easily seen in Mentari area.they're trying to monopolize the area with their african bar and huge number of them staying in Menatari Court,Suriamas,and Ridzuwan Condominiums.they always cause public disturbance and their number getting bigger.
WE SHOULD NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN MY BELOVED MALAYSIANS
you malaysian's are big fool ,,idiot
i have spent 2 years studying why Malaysians hate Nigerians so much.i did this study together with my brother that studied in UK and now works in UK Aswell.My brother is so much upset about how malaysians in malaysia do carry there ego too high when in actual sense they are doliat with low rate of thinking faculty.he made me understood that Nigerians are well respected in UK more than Malaysian because of there intelligency and perfomances academically.Malaysian hardly can speak English fluently or understand it well too.They go about asking Nigerians to teach them English in Uk and do go as far asking nigerians to help them out in there academics.in own study,i havent able to figure out why malaysian persist to feel that we are inferior to them.is it because they succeded in fulling us into believing that they have good acredited schools when in actual sense they dont have it at all.Educationally,Nigerian standard is higher than that of malaysia which is why we always dont like furthering Education in malaysia.i dont want to go into comparism between Nigeria and Malaysia as nigeria is greater than Malaysia in all ramification.We are the giant of Africa and the fift largest producer of oil and the third largest exporter of oil in the world.30 years ago we Malaysia came to nigeria and made special appeal to us to give them palm .we did thinking that they will appreciate and resiprocate our kind gesture.they never did.Now they want nigeria to give them access to explore and exploit our oil.The only problem nigeria is facing is that our leaders are still sleeping.Malaysia never mind for our leaders will wake up soon and get things perfectly right in Nigeria,it is only then that it will be clear to u malaysians that u are not our equal.
Malaysia beware,your economy is collapsing but u citizens dont know yet.Your government is giving u assurance that every thing is ok but it is not ok.Now your Government is secretly pleading with Iran and Nigeria to allow them explore and exploit there oil but sincerely speaking i dont think it will be granted.The whole world now knows that the most selfish,wicked,self centered and unfriendly country is malaysia.Very soon u malaysia will run out of gas and oil and know one will come to help u.Malaysia pls stop being jealous of Nigeria the giant of africa.Malaysia pls learn to respect Nigeria my great,beloved and dearest country.Malaysia i am still waiting to see when u will stop being babies as regards the way u think.it is time you malaysians should start growing up.
Based on what you said, you sound like a dummy
who knows nothing whatsoever about the
continuous genocide in Nigeria.
The good Nigerians are either dead or in USA applying for refugee status. The evil Nigerians are infesting Malaysia, Thailand, and China with their anti-social, anti-moral culture. Our government needs to end diplomatic ties with Nigeria before those criminals destroy our civilization. Other option is force assimilation of Africans barbarians in asia. Remember the Ming Dynasty emperor use the policy of "Civilise the Barbarians" and worked well.
Now listen all you foolish malaysian men, you guyz are too lazy and uneducated thats why you accuse africans of doing every bad thing in malaysia. when you guys live in government funded houses, loaned car and all of such, you cannot pay cash for ur purchases, u cannot satisfy your women, you cannot speak good english, you dont even travel out of your country at least to say, worst of all is that you guyz are not united. hehehehe, chinese people have almost all the businesses, indians do all the rag works, and malays die in the government buildings collecting bribes and all of sorts, ur stupid police begs for 10rm, your girls sleep in Africans' houses every night having sex. if not for these forigners especially those from africa, ur economy would die, u know how much an african spends a day? come on, you guys should stop being ass holes, blame in on your people, u stupid dumb assed racists, you are not even the original white people, u cannot stand in front of a british man or an american, u gullible and wasted generation of racists... the writer of this article is infact a smelling pussy. nonsense
Why are you gonna say it's all Nigerians what about the rest of the people why is it that you people don't just find out things before you say it, we know that Nigerians are doing crimes and this crime are not just done by Nigerians what about the crimes and all the disadvantages we face in your country we go to school and sometimes we are being cheated by your own country people who sees Nigeria as a way to extract money I have meet people who are here for Masters and some who are here for business please you need to find out how to address things don't just name people.some come here and disobey the rule of the country but please you don't have to capitalize it by saying all Nigerian thank and your government should look into i just believe that you all don't understand what is happening around the world that is why you think one country destroy your country, Nigerian are not even committing the highest crimes here but the reason is that they make too much noise for their own stupid sake.we all need to learn and respect the way we put things in good manners.
If you say we are the less civilized people in the world you should think sometimes before you say things in times of your civilization what is your own level of education that you said we are less civilized the highest of your achievements in eduction will be challenged by a secondary school holder in Nigeria please take the fact that Education is our pride and that is what we are known for if you say we do crimes the crimes you do that are overt are more than the crimes we do that open if you think we are poor check the

please if you all know what it means to live in peace and be happy you will not underestimate any body or call people names
a nigerian can only be good in rubbery, rape and crimes , that's all.
Let's settle this argument once and for all.Nigeria is a blessed country with lots of natural resources and potentials.It's normal in every country that some people are bad while some are good.If u say nigerians don't know anything than to scam,will you tell me those nigerians that have been making names in IT field,sport,banking all over the world are scammers?I hardly hear of malaysia people doing so well that they get recognised internationally.The only problem with Nigeria is the problem of bad leadership.If the users actually lead the country aright,no nigerian would think of leaving the country..Nigerians are very hardworking,brilliant and happy people
Crime exists everywhere.Private universities in malaysia come over to africa to advertise their schools and use different things which are not real to attract them,it's only when u get here you would realise that you have been scammed..Isn't that a scam? You are driving in malaysia,a police man stops you and all he demands for is 50rm,isn't that shameful Though there are many nigerians in malaysia that are into scamming people which is very bad but what about those that were scammed,are they not greedy?how can someone sell a 600 dollar mobile phone to you for 300dollars and still tells u to BUY 3 AND GET 2 FREE,Are u that dumb?are you not greedy?
Scamming and other bad activities is not something that should be encouraged,it's really bad and i feel bad for those that have been scammed but I think they've been too greedy too..they wanna reap what they did not sow.NIGERIANS ARE HAPPY PEOPLE NO MATTER THE CONDITION AND THEY ARE MORE BEAUTIFUL AND HANDSOME...ASIANS LOOK ALIKE JUST LIKE APES..
CHINESE PEOPLE ARE THE ONES DOMINATING HERE,MALAY PEOPLE ARE LAZY AND DUMB..GET A LIFE!
Hey Malaysians ... Listen attentively , Am a Nigerian and we Nigerians are proud of our country And Proud to be Africans ... You guys stinks ... And tell your so called brothers and Sister who are being scammed to go to hell and tell who have never been scammed before that he or she should be ready .... We dont need to hide anymore...

So we got no business with you ordinary citizens ... We deal with your government OK... So say whatever you like ,We make Malaysia Lively ... Thats how we do our thing everywhere ... Your Police stop us on road checks every time, so if they dont want us then why aint they deporting us ? I tell you why , They beg us for RM50 just for top ups , smoking ... Etc ...

Yes I agreed Negirians are very bad peoples, in Singapore, Japan and other country. Negirian, Ghanan and other West African still doing criminal such as drugs traffiking, rape womens, cheating and scamming
In Indonesia Negirian are scamming, rapes and cheating. Lots of Indonesian victims by Negirian scammers.
I just says the truth that all.

I am a thai, I join police force for 5 years in Thailand. We have so many bad records about West African criminal activitis in Thailand.
The black African in Thailand still doing very bad things including Rapes, black money scam,cheating,recruit drugs curreir.
Black African criminal activities records in Thailand getting bigger abd wider. As Thai police force we try our best to combat black African criminal activities in Thai Country.
Worse thing is a lot of Thai people been cheated by black African unfortunatetly.
Hello Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin... How much bribe you and the Immigration DG are taking for approving student visas for the so called Africans who are daily coming into Malaysia. There is a talk in town, you and the DG in Immigration Department are making tons of money for approving student visas for these jungle people who look so old and sitting at bus stops and cyber cafes cheating our Malaysians? Dont pretend by saying you dont know. You the number 1 culprit. I have written to our PM about you and the Immigration DG that both of you taking bribe and allowing many Africans to come to Malaysia and they are involved in al kind of crimes. Soon you will be sacked from your JOB!!!
