I posted a story here about a year and a half ago, witch did not go down well with the condecending part of the members. (No, that would never happen to me. I`m too smart, Etc.). However, I lost my 80,000 dollar, and there was nothing else to do than live with it. Here in Thailand you can mention Crypto to a policeman, and you get those big brown, cow eyes staring back at you. 

Now, after all this time, I have managed to save enough to get my daughter and me back to our home country. 

Tonight, I got a weird phone call. The woman said she worked at Blockchain.com and her name was Jennifer Smith. She said her company was in posession of the block chain where also my money was, plus the bonus from the increased value of Bitcoin, together 150.000 US. I said I need a day to check her out, because she is most likely a scammer. So I`m asking the members if you ever have come across this name. It`s probably a fake name, but you never know. Or if someone from Blockchain.com have approached you. It`s a long shot, but I need to try every avenue, before I hang up on somebody that actually is telling the truth. Thanks!

Normally it`s a lot more, but as opposed to the Scandinavians, the Thais don`t have a lot of holidays in December. I don`t know if the the last kings birthdays is still celebrated. I would think not. Otherwise it would have been too many of them. We can`t complain, in June and May we just have to many of them. Because we can afford it. Any Thais with a strong back and tenacity for work, you are welkome in Norway. And if you choose Svalbard, like a lot of Thai woman, massaging those sore muscle of the russians, you can make a <deleted>load of money. But remember, you have to get your own house! Kind of important when the grades goes down to 50 degrees Cescius in the winter. Nobody`s there to help you!

FB say they will clamp down on scammers exploiting users. But I just saw again this Libra coin scam that has been all over S/E Asia. They are targeting spesific areas, like BKK for a week or two, then Pattays, Phuket etc. Perhaps they think they can get away with it since they are not in the western world. I know a lot of people has fallen victims to this scams, usually executed by eastern european gangsters, with spoofed phone numbers and fake names and email addresses. It would be interesting to know how many there was. If there was high numbers, maybe a class action law suit would be the way to go. If you have been a victim, leave me a message here, then we can take it from there and speak to a lawyer. I has to start somewhere, right?

34 minutes ago, orchis said:

On July 24 you stated your daughter HAS a Norwegian passport and you were going to apply for a Thai passport.

Since you obviously are a big fan and follow every move I make, I can put your mind to rest: you can`t leave Thailand on a empty passport!

Standing on the edge of the abyss, it`s all very heart warming with the mockery and good jokes. And I had already pointed out that I have been an idiot.

The point of this story was actually not to give you all a good laugh, but it would be helpful to know if anybody has had contact with the before mentioned trading company "TopTradePro."

Before this story began, I had no experience with trading in any way, shape or form.

I have lived in Thailand for a number of years. I am 63 years old and a Norwegian citizen. After my divorce 5 years ago, I have been a single father of a 9 year old girl.

Here goes the story:

This incident took place the 16^th of September. I received a call from a guy, (I guess I`m not allowed to name names) and worked for (removed)

A few days earlier I had purchased Libracoin (Facebook) for 250 us. But I did not receive a wallet. I thought it would be fun to have this on my phone to “play” with. I am no gambler, I don`t even buy lotto tickets. I mailed them and the guy called me back.

He said, no problem, I fix a wallet for you. Then he asked me to install something called “Anydesk,” a program where he can see my screen and control my mouse.

First he opened my bank account, because he needed to see witch account he would attach my Libracoin wallet to. (He probably also took note of my other accounts, witch he later emptied out).

Then he went to a cryptocoin site, Jubiter.com, wrote 4000 and clicked “buy.” I got scared, and asked: “You didn`t buy anything, did you?” He said, “No, no, this was just a reservation.” (whatever that means).

My phone pinged, and he asked me to give him the number that came up. and I did. The worst decision of my life. At this time, I had no idea what an OTP number was. And it all happened very fast.

He thanked me, and told me all was in order with my Libracoin wallet.

After he hung up, I checked my account, and 4000 us dollar was gone. Now he had my 4000 US as a hostage. Not in so many words, he told me if I didn`t play along, I`d loose the money, or if I did as I was told, I would get a nice bonus.

I was furious, but what could I do? I checked up the company on the internet: they had mostly bad reviews, but I couldn`t find anybody they actually had stolen money from.

So when he called me the next day, I decided to play along. I followed him like a rat in the story of The pied piper of Hamelin. In the end, 74.000 us dollar, everything I had, was gone. All the time telling me that all would be fine, this was just normal business practice. And they promised me a big fat bonus, almost the double of what I had paid. (if it sounds to good to be true -)

Now they want more. I need to deposit 15.000 US in my account, before they will send me back 105.000 US. If this is their “fee” why can`t they just keep the “fee” and send me the rest? But they insist they only need to see that I have the money, and not withdraw anything. I know I have been stupid, careless and naive, but what can I do?

But I am in a desperate situation, and I will deposit the 15.000 US. (Luckily I still have some very good friends) This is either a fraud, or a very brutal way of squeezing money out of beginners. I have a copy of every transaction done on my Mastercard, and I recorded the last phone conversations we had. I am convinced that this is something they have done a lot of times. There will be lot of other victims out there.

I can`t stay in Thailand with no money, and I can`t get a passport for my daughter. She will be left alone with no family. Just thinking of that rips my heart to pieces. I`m writing to this forum as a desperate measure. Is there anything that can be done to get my money back? At least some of it? I`ll be grateful for any advice.

Her mother probably lives in another country with a new sugar daddy. I have no contact with her or with her family.

I know that in every case like this, I am obliged to contact the local police, but they don`t speak English, and I know nothing will be done. Even if they did write a rapport on this, it will be in Thai, and nobody outside Thailand would understand it. I will also inform Mastercard in Thailand. But I guess it will take about a year before they answer to say it`s nothing they can do.

And still no sign of my Libracoin wallet.

And I forgot to say that the same ting happened once before. I deposited the 15.000 US, and they just took it. Later the guy from the billing department admitted it was his fault. But we have to do the same thing again. Another 15.000 US. But now I know what OTP means.

She is born in Thailand, her mother is Thai, and she is 8 years old.

No, in this case Norway, and she has a Norwegian passport. 

And if I was sure, I would have bought the tickets already.

And you know as well as I do, whom ever you ask, you will get a different answer. That`s is why I want to know if anybody else have experienced a similar situation.

If I had the time, (and money) and if I had not messed up my knee, (no, not motorcycle accident) I certainly would have got her a Thai passport.

Hi!

I am planning a trip to Norway with my daughter for to week holiday. Problem is she don`t have a Thai passport.

I dawned on me that it would be a problem to leave Thailand on a foreign passport, with no arrival stamp.

So, can I bring her with the mothers consent, Norwegian passport, Thai birth certificate, her own Thai ID, and return tickets?

Will they also require a Thai passport?

I know she will have to apply for a student visa when we come back, but that is not a big problem. She is taking her higher education in Norway anyway. It`s free.

Thanks for a lot of good advise, guys. I have found somebody that can help me go around the issue of her mother.

In this country it`s only one thing that speaks; Money!

I don`t really care about the Thai passport. It`s more important that she get a Norwegian passport.

I have asked the school this morning, and they will try to help me.

The embassy told me they absolutely needs her mothers original ID card. A copy was no good. 

But thanks for the tip. I will try the emergency passport.

Yes, I have signed copies of her mothers ID card.

But she has never been registered in any house book. We have been moving around.

Then, of course, she will not be Thai when she returns to Thailand on a foreign passport.

That`s ok, she will get a student visa. She is going to Norway when she`s 18, and get her education there anyway. And hopefully stay there.

No. I have asked the embassy, but I need at least to have a signed permission and her original ID card. Witch she will not give me.

Maybe I just have to wait another 10 years until she is 18. The she still will only have her birth certificate. That is not enough to get f.ex insurance and other important papers. 

I will ask an lawyer about this. But most of them have no knowledge about these matters.

It is weird, because I have never had any problems with her before. Suddenly it`s an iron curtain between her and her daughter.

I had a daughter in 2010 with a woman I never had a relationship with. She is now 8 years old, and is required to have an ID card. In this case both mother and father has to be there. She has always lived with me.

However, her mother refuses to be part of her life, and help me get the necessary signature on the documents.

If she don`t, my daughter will be without ID and passport.

She already have a Thai passport and a foreign passport, but they are long time expired. 

I have asked my embassy what to do, but no answer.

Just an idea; what if I told them she is nowhere to be found, what happens then?

Anybody with similar experience?

I take any advice I can get. We were supposed to visit her family in Norway this summer, but it`s not looking good. Getting desperate -

My lawyer told me you need to have it registered in court by a judge. There is too much fraud and illegal copying in Thailand.

I have just changed the old, broken cartridge filter, and with the new one the PSI is down to less than 5. But the pressure and suction is excellent. I have seen that when the algea dries out, it dies and disappears. So next time my filter gets clogged with algea, I will simply use the old filter for a few days, and dry out the new one in the sun. And vise versa.

You say super shock with chlorine. Is there any other chemical I could just put in my skimmer?

Thanks for the tip. I am thinking the same thing. But my filter is history, anyhow.

Hi. I have a 8x4 JD pool 14.000 gallon. The pool has not been used for 8 years. It was a saltwater system, but the pump and other things where stolen, so I decided to switch to a cartridge filter.

Now, after 2 weeks, the filter is clogged up by an unknown substance. (Se pic) I remove this amount every day from the filter, using a dull butter knife. I suspect the substance comes from the old pipes under the pool deck. My pool guy, TSP pools in Samui, say it is minerals in the water. But the water in the pool is clear. 

Any idea what it can be?

Ok, guys, it has been fun, but it`s late, and I have to get my daughter to school tomorrow. It takes time to get her to drink 3 liters of colloidal silver before breakfast -

Seems we have established that those shouting ""troll , fraud, a charlatan and a quack,"" were correct in their assessment .

However, one last chance !

Explain in simple English exactly what the whole of that PubMed article ACTUALLY said and what its authors conclusions were.

Holy, we have another one!

Instead of repeating simple English language, I encourage you to go buy (because you evidently do not own one) a English dictionary, and start from the beginning of the article. I don`t mean to be patronizing, but if you went out of your trailer, took the bus to the nearest library, maybe they would lend you one for free. If that is not a friendly advice, I don`t know what is.

To Luk AJ. Please do 1 hour of research before you push your ignorant opinions on others. You have not got a clue what you are talking about. I consider this tread for ended.

I was 4 years part of an R&D team studying all the different disinfectants. I have a patent on one special natural disinfectant.

Tell us about the "patent" number and where it was registered.

I would like to undertake a patent search relating to this "natural disinfectant"

Patent nr WO 2007/039508 A1 registered in about 50 countries

How on earth can you compare Fuji film to nano silver? I repeat my statement.

Despite the resistance from the pharmaceutical industry this quite recent study was published. We know now that antibiotics have trouble killing this bacteria. In case you can`t be bothered with reading the whole study I quote: "AgNP type 1 (particle mean size of 36 nm) exhibited higher antibacterial activity for both pathogen strains compared to data for commercial antibiotic."

For those of you that did not pay attention in class, AgNP means "silver nano particles."

To most of you, I apologize coming on a little hard, but after being called "troll a fraud, a charlatan and a quack," I don`t really give a "quack" what they think. This is the second PubMed article in this tread, but it`s obvious that some people are here only to pick a fight. Don`t get me wrong, I love a good discussion. I just hate ingrown stubbornness and stupidity.

You clearly have little or no knowledge about what that paper describes.

How many people (patients) where involved in the study ? How many were " cured" ? Was "colloidal silver" involved in the study ?

Stop posting stuff you do not understand !

I can only repeat myself; some people are here only to pick a fight.

Instead of accusing others of "picking a fight "" why not just answer the simple questions posed?

I can only repeat ..........STOP posting stuff you do not understand !

Ditto!!!

We know for a fact that 70 % of new medicines in the last 25 years come from mother nature. But for some reason, there are some that can not be synthesized and patented. It does not make them less important. Here is an article I wrote some time ago, without a specific link to CS.

For almost a century the pharmaceutical industry has held the world hostage to the commercial way of healing. Only with the introduction of the internet, have the broad masses got access to the ancient knowledge of

So you are the author of this article? raincure.com

Yes, and as you see, I do not sell anything outside of Thailand. I am not aiming to promote my product outside the borders of this country. I have however spent a few hundreds hours studying nano silver and it`t s benefits. And no, I do not use two 9 volt batteries an a couple of silver coins.
