He's right to have doubts about doing it online. I submitted mine online 8 days ago, and it's still pending. The online system is increasingly unreliable. Apparently staff simply disregard submissions. I guess they would rather have a hall full of people than simply go through the online system and click a button.

You're talking about "appointments"? Right?

 

They can only be booked up to 30 days out.

 

For some activity there are no open slots on any given day. Pick a day/date 30 days out, wake up up at 00:01 and snag a slot.

 

I do not believe you can book an appointment for a category/activity other than the one you hope to accomplish.

 

FWIW, there are tons of 90-Day Slots available. I booked one two days out, and full availability. They do have a lot of slots for this. And maybe folks don't know you can book an appointment for the 90-Day report?

 

Just get to CW early on Friday and get one of the first few tickets. I have no idea what that time might be? 06:00? 06:30?

 

 

 

 

Yep thats the plan. Thanks

im planning to go to my non-b visa extension at changwattana this friday. Queue for my section is full at least 2-3 months.

so do you think i can get 90 days report queue and just try to do my visa extension?

im asking because i remember they just asked me to sign my name from the list.. didnt check anything. and did my visa extension. If its still like that im planning to get a queue from 90 days. Or get queue from extension non-o thai wife?

PS: do you think the counter number will be different and my name will not be on the list where i did last year (counter) but it seems to me all online appointments are going to the same counter

i got queue from thai wife extension. counter L it says No: 29 / 32   i think last year it was N so.. counters are different maybe?

thanks

If it was offered as a gift there's no scam here at all

yes i agree with you and told that to my friend. Only scam part is the person is not the person she introduced her self. For example she said that her occupation is a nurse and need money to get back to thailand (again she is not a thai national but living in thailand) so my friend offered her the plane ticket. At first she didnt accept and my friend insisted then she accepted. So the scam part is only about her job and i dont think its a crime to.. tell a lie about your job.

3,500 kroner is a relatively small amount – even that it might be a relative big amount for some individuals – you should consider it as a lesson learned-loss and move on; and yes, I'm Danish.

 

You have voluntary transferred the amount to a foreign national, so it's not something the Danish police can do much about. You might be able to report it, and that might be it. You'll gain nothing.

 

You need to contact Thai police to get something done. However, someone using a fake so-me profile is not unusual and can be hard to investigate. You being a foreigner might not help the police's interest in starling an investigation. And what will you gain? Even if they might find the person – or persons – behind the fake profile, the money might well be gone already long ago, so you won't get them back.

 

So, save yourself from a lot of trouble and worrying: Write off the loss and move on...

 

And by the way: We are many, also Danes, who have "lost" money, we voluntary gave to Thai ladies – even when they didn't use a fake profile and was, who they appeared to be – and we are many, also Danes, who learned a lesson, moved on and often had better luck next time...????

thanks for your post.

my friend asked danish police and they told him to make a complain. tho i dont think anything will come up. I think they told him that jsut because they had to because of their work.

First of all - $500 is not worth the trouble of trying to get it back any other way than asking her to pay back. The costs of trying to get it back, be it legal or not will be much more than $500.

You say she didn't ask for the money, but accepted when offered. How was it offered? As a loan? as a gift? Under any conditions at all? 

I assume that if the person who paid the money is a TV celebrity he won't go hungry for the loss of $500, so better just put it down as tuition fee for the university of life.

 

Offered as a gift.

My friend contacted with danish police and they told him there is no limit for scam money. And ask him to go to office and make a complain. But as you said how good they will follow it up. Also im pretty sure they told him to make a complain because they cannot say not worth the efford

Thanks fkr your reply

If she never asked for money, it will be very hard to get a scam case in court. If you don it will cost you way more on lawyers and it can take years to get someone convicted. When convicted, you still need to find a way to actually get your money. It doesn't matter if the person is a medium level celebrity in Denmark for the Thai police.

 

thanks for the answer and your time for explaining. So it seems.. the amount of money is enough but its like a dead end.

It starts with the person who thinks he / she got scammed delivering a probable story to the police why they think they are scammed. If the police thinks it is a case there will be a police report filed.

As you might know the police have a lot of cases and a 500 USD scam case won't be on top of their files for a long time.

 

Well.. basically she said she needs to go back to thailand (shes not a thai national).. and said she hasnt got the money to buy the ticket. Important detail is she never asked money. Only accepted when offered. Well turned out shes in thailand but was too late money already transfered. Also it turned out her job and so on was all not real. But again its confirmed that her address.. name.. phone are all real.

And.. dont know will affect or not but the person who sent the money is medium level celebrty in denmark (in TV area) 

Thanks for the answers

as one who is deaf in one ear....go to a doctor...do not let some salon gal clean your ears with candles or ? or attempt to do it yourself with cotton buds....ear docs are cheap and know what they are doing....takes only a few minutes and if you do have deep ear wax plugging they can safely remove...it is not always as simple as u may think as sometimes sand/dirt can lodge in your ear and mix with wax and form a plug that is almost like a rock....why take a chance???  go to a pro....

Yes. Thank you

I don't think he could do too much. Based on your comment that the guy said he didn't want any money and give it to someone else. Your friend decided to give it to him anyway so the guy never really scammed anyone outright. I think he played his cards to get the money without asking but its just my opinion based on a guess. 

Very correct.

It's not huge money .

Assume your friend has good intentions so should just wipe this off to experience and continue his good work. 

 

Might be a cheap lesson.

Yep.. looks like

If someone claimed, falsely, to be a soldier in order to gain a donation from a charity which only donates to soldiers, then that would be a criminal offence of Fraud (obtaining monies by deception) in most countries AFAIK.

 

I doubt that the police in Europe or Thailand would be interested in commencing an investigation.

 

I suggest that your friend contacts the recipient, explains that the donation was made in error (i.e.- should only be given to a soldier) and ask for the money to be refunded.

 

If not refunded, accept that this is a lesson learned (an inexpensive lesson at only $150).

Thank you

Fools are easily separated from their money..

Your friend fits that and slightly surprised you ask a forum such a silly question.

He got scammed. 

Yes its obvious. And so far from the answers theres nothing he can do even the money is from donation account.

Thnx

So a person who is poor and was never a brainwashed professionally trained killer got a few bucks, even when he said he didn't want it (maybe because he felt guilty?).

 

I see that as a good thing.

 

Tell your moron of a friend to put on his adult diaper and STFU about it already. It's kinda embarrassing, really.

Well.. so i take it as he needs to let it go.

Thnx

I don't think lies get you thrown in jail or the world would be a much easier place to exist in by removing those from our path.

Well yes but i was wondering if any legal thing could happen because the money comes from donators. But again im not sure if my youtube friend has any official registered donation company or what ever it is. So when he was doing his youtube hes asking for donations. And from this account he helps people in need

6 minutes ago, Sandboxer said:

Am I understanding this correctly?

 

Your friend donated/sent $150 to someone in Thailand who actually told him he didn't want any money (even telling your friend to just donate it to someone else)?

 

But your friend insisted, sent it (via a friend), and is now somehow whining that the receiver isn't really from a profession he thought he was?

 

Where exactly is this "scam"? All I see is a pushy do-gooder retard who just can't take a "no".....

Well kind of yes. He introduced himself as a soldier. Then he talked about he hasnt got enough money to do some things for himself. So my youtuber friend decided to help him with the donation moneys in his account. Then yes yesterday it turned out hes not a soldier.

Now im not sure he can do anything legal.. because the money is coming from donators.

Yea.. thats what i thought.. so they have to let it go..

Thnx

Just an opinion:

i think yes, new TM30 is a must. The reason is because the landlord changed which makes old docs invalid. Your TM30 must be with the new landlord. Its just a couple of hours thing. no need to risk anything. 

If you think you will not need TM30 in your future thailand life... you can just ignore. But again its only few hours thing to do it... why risk?
