Belgian man scammed out of 8 million baht by female Thai soldier
smedly replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
that may be so - once you put your western thinking cap on you have lost I knew a bar owner here that let a solictor handle the transfer of money for the sale of the bar, buyer transfered the purchase funds to his solicitor and he never got a penny, solicitor kept the money 6m baht, again a hard lesson -
Belgian man scammed out of 8 million baht by female Thai soldier
smedly replied to webfact's topic in Pattaya News
he will never see his money unless criminal charges are brought - highly unlikely so it is a civil matter, if he is prepared to spend a few million baht brining this court it will take years with next to zero chance of success never ever let a Thai person handle anything money related in your absence always do in person, this includes solicitors, in the west solicitors act under strict codes of conduct - not so in Thailand This man has learned a very hard lesson- 79 replies

UK Pensioners in Thailand Face New Scrutiny Over Pension Fraud
smedly replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
people are living here and not delclaring the do, they use a UK address to fraudulently claim UK benefits and/or UK anual pension increases, if found out they will face a lengthy jail term in the UK, I pay UK taxes so they are stealing from me and every UK tax payer, I hope they get caught - it is simple to expose, cross check passport records and bank records with claims. In saying that I disagree with UK policy not getting anual increases to state pensions while live abroad, it is wrong but that is a different discussion. Fyi - I am not old enough to receive UK state pension yet, I've been livin in Thailand 20+ years - DWP and Inland revenue have my thai address and so does my UK bank -
