Like it or not they will have to implement this when they realize that they lost control. Some countries tried a soft lockdown and they don't work. 

Works very well in my home country , so far, nothing is certain at this point but the outlook is good. And calling it a soft lockdown would be quite an overstatement.

What did he give you?

29k baht by SEPA transfer? but im pretty sure he either cancelled it or perhaps he made some maneouver that i missed or he cancelled after i left? Still very stupid yes and i am in no obligation to help a stranger out ..

Definitely a scam. Would you give 29k (almost $1000) to a random stranger in your own country?

ofcourse not but would i ask strangers for 1000$ in thailand if i had my bag stolen? Truth to be told, 100$ yes thats plausible maybe even probable but i can see now that 1000$ is a bit ridicilous..

My thoughts exactly.

 

OP: you logged to your banking app on his phone and made a transfer to his account? Did I get it correctly?

no he logged in to HIS banking account and made a transfer to me. i gave him cash. in the process i needed to login to my account and copy my account details.

thank you, i understand that is the law. Posters here are doing a great job adding insult to injury as it is, i dont need to also go to jail for defamation????. Somehow i guess my best course of action is forgetting about this ordeal and keep enjoying my vacation. if someone do have any suggestion that would give me a reasonable chance of recouping the money im all ear.

he did it from his phone ..yes but having someones bank account number doesnt hurt me in any way that i can think of?

my login credentials is not compromised nor does he have acess to my passport nr or driving license.

I am more then a little bit gullible i am aware of that. Still it was a very believable performance, in hindsight maybe a bit TOO beliavable. and i did get to see the transfer being done. I will update later today SEPA transfers should be within the day. I have his driving license photo, thats pretty much it.

yes all that was asked for. i watched the bank transfer being done but maybe there is a possibility to cancel the transfer after the fact or whatever.

Hi. I may have been scammed just now in hua hin. Long story story short:

Farang German on a motorbike Stolen bag rebook ticket etc oscar worthy performance back story adds up. Has this happened to anyone else recently?

Awaiting more potential victims. Hopefully its not a scam and in that case let this serve as a varning, it could well very well have been a scam. Please help other people in need but do it in a way that is foolproof for you.
