Kerryd Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Wow. No one can look at the email header to see who sent the email ? No one actually checked with the BANK to see if the account was really closed ? If that account was really closed "months ago" I shouldn't be able to add it to my 3rd party transfer list, should I ? I shouldn't get an OTOP message right ? I shouldn't get a Confirmation message telling me that the account had been added, right ? I was going to say that I doubt that email was sent from a French police officer. I highly doubt he would use the term "monkey house" when communication with another foreigner. The grammar and the spelling were also very poor, even for a Frenchman. Having said that though, I've seen some pretty poor grammar and spelling from a lot of native English speakers, usually of questionable education levels. Interesting that when I did a quick search for "Theirry Perenon" it comes up with some similar articles, like these: March 3, 2018 - http://www.khaosodenglish.com/featured/2018/03/03/foreign-dsi-agent-threatens-editor-remove-story-russian-whistleblowers/ March 5, 2018 - http://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2018/03/05/dsi-investigates-foreign-agent-threats-reporters/ April 23, 2018 - https://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/1035028-french-agent-to-police-in-pattaya-linked-to-alleged-threats-against-youtuber/ (the original article for this particular thread) "In March the Department of Special Investigation based in Bangkok said they were investigating Perenon with DSI chief Korrawat Panprapakorn saying that the Frenchman had misrepresented himself. According to the chief Perenon was not a sworn officer. He was part of a volunteer group that sends in tips about the activities of foreign gangs."

Thus Danny would have been unable to send the money even if he had gone through with the extortion attempt. I have yet to hear of an extortionist who doesn't have an end game.

Yes, it occurred to me that someone with a close interest in the case could have added the a/c to their a/c payees and send 100 or 1,000b to see if it bounced "Payee unknown" before divulging it.

When the bank account is closed, it should have been erased from the data base a long time ago.

I think he must do more than just YouTube work, as they don't exactly pay out a lot. Perhaps he's a teacher somewhere but quite rightly doesn't want that released.

phycokiller Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I had a German tourist policeman do this to me and others in Pattaya as well, the extortion part, not in writing tho. He did get fired in the end but continued to use his police badge (which the police claim he had returned) to gain access to hotel rooms and continue his extorting. police werent interested in that. he had been fired so was no longer of police interest, even tho illegal.

timewilltell Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Not to investigate this matter is absurd but typical. It just embodies the laziness and could not care less attitude to the law unless someone is paying for the privilege. Why does anyone business here where anyone can be set up with a few baht in the right direction and have their business destroyed? As soon as there is any success people will copy and get the guy with the idea set up. Who cares right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people making 5-7 million dollar a year only on youtube. However, as you say, he don´t make that. Yes he is teaching english online, from his computer as a foreigner in Thailand. Not easy to get a WP for that, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlaw11wa Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) So ehat about attempts to trace the origin of the original email? I would think Google would be able to shed some light on that if asked nicely. Whether the account of the frrnchman was hacked or not therr would be a trail to follow. Also Google would be very eager to show thier Gmail platform as safe and secure? Seems to be more to this story than published here.
