Three Nigerians were arrested on Wednesday over an alleged romance scam that lured Thai women to wire them money, a senior police officer said.

 

Pol Maj-General Surachet Hakpal, tourist police deputy commissioner, told a press conference that Ajike Ajelo Martins Junior, 39, NNamdi Elvis Ezeh, 39, and Uzochukwu Jerome Ezeneche, 41 were arrested following a court warrant issued on Monday.

 

Police seized a computer, four mobile phones, 23 bank books and 20 ATM cards as well as Bt715,000 in cash and 4,000 Nigeria naira (Bt350) in cash from the suspects.

Looks like they had to get a fill in to point at, That's a first

They were pretty ubiquitous around Muang Thong, when I was hanging out in that area. Always assumed they were footballers or something. Don't have a lot against them as they were fairly well behaved. Not my problem.

Congratulations get more and give the proceeds to the poor.

Chief Surachet aka Big Joke would be a very busy man, if he was going to give a press conference every time a Thai woman was involved in a romance scam conning naive caucasians...

Strangely enough the women in those scams all have the same name...:"She is different"

Exactly. They came into Vietnam by the loads about five years ago under the guise of playing soccer. They soon set up their prostitution and drug rackets and other scams. The police twigged and rounded them put them on a truck to the nearest border never to be seen again. Seems Thailand has ended up with them. 

Around Nana you would be forgiven for thinking you were in darkest Africa or the Middle East.

I wonder what work permit they are using? Also these Thais are like sheeps. This romance scam has been on the news almost on a daily base but they still go for it.  Well to those cheated, that serves you right.

Well, it takes two to tango...

<deleted>, stop exaggerating....1%???

 

No way,  it would be closer to 100th of 1% :-)  A few years back I found one who was actually qualified as a lawyer and in practice in the UK, who was still up to his old tricks.

Love it - the Thai girl thinks she's going to screw the naive farang, the Nigerian farang screws her. Let them get on with it I say.

Good idea. The airports would be a good start, turn them back to where they came from.
