Scammed by Expat and his Thai gf

[CNX69]

Thai Mademoiselle and "Monsieur" tried to persuade me to invest in a Chon Buri Condo startup with 30%  Monthly Interest Return (Earnings) on investment. 

My reply was "let's meet in ChonBuri and see the land"

 

Haha ( Maximum Interest by Thai Law is 15% per year)

Great story, thanks for that.

"Interest" and "return on investment" are two completely different things. A ROI of 30% is allowed but highly unlikely.

A condo isn't land. I think you lack the knowledge to invest, better keep it in a bank.

Scammed by Expat and his Thai gf ?,  scamming or scams by couples like on all things is not uncommon.

It genuinely makes me want to have children - just so one day I might have grandchildren and I'll be able to regale them with this story.

Agreed.  The OP knows he's being set up for a scam and is obviously aware of it.  Best leave it at that.

Thank you for the TVF morning giggles.

That comes from having a good education. As you haven't got a clue what you are talking about , I suggest you use google a bit more or go back to school.

I was once asked to "contribute" to a farang's finances in Bkk. He sort of blew it for himself when he earlier claimed to be a reincarnation of the Dali Llama. Hint- a living person can't also be reincarnated at the same time.

Interesting conversation though, and well worth the cup of coffee I bought him.

So have you seen the land yet?

When does construction start?

Can you post pictures?  I'm looking for investment opportunities too.

 

Did you go for it?

Sounds like a good investment to me, and if you can't trust a Western bloke with a Thai wife, whom can you trust?

The 14th Dalai Lama is living maybe the Farang  was reincarnated of a previous Dalai Lama?  They go back quite a way.

Exactly... is there a country where over 30% ROI is illegal? lol

That's tantamount to calling the 14th Dalai Lama an imposter, Since he is the reincarnation of previous Dalai Lamas.  

[ChiangMaiLightning2143]

Yeah reckon your're right. So sorry .

Here's the response, the farang asked to borrow my pen, he's a scammer.

Do not need Google for that!
