This only proves to Thais how stupid we are. We do nothing to help our cause when we chomp down on Nigerian bait.

until the root cause that makes Thailand so attractive to transnational criminals is eliminated they will not stop. This includes all ethnicities.

There is probably a lot more to this than reported. There is every chance that they were also scamming women in other countries and it was police elsewhere that brought it to the RTP attention.

 

It also appears that Western Union in Thailand are generally sticking to the requirement for government issued photo ID when picking up cash, so it makes it easier to pick up the mules that collect the cash or open bank accounts for the scammers.

These Nigerians are so sick that they need to wear masks to avoid infection?

"Eight Nigerian men and six Thai suspects have been arrested for alleged collusion in an online romance scam,..............."

"Collusion isn't a crime and if it was they didn't do it, and if they did it.........well it is not a crime" said their spokesperson Rudy Giulliani.

How do the Thai ladies get their money back?

Some of these Thai ladies must have some cash to land a guy. 200,000-500,000 No problem Guess they are thinking it is like an investment. Land a farang worth a few million and get the money back by swindling him. Only this time they got swindled. Oh well they could borrow me for a few nights for nothing till they land one permanently Only willing to help

I wonder if Nigerians bring brown envelopes with them.

And you read about honest hardworking people want to come here for some R&R, then get denied. And these Nigerians flaunt the system. I don't know how they get through immigration with their BS. 

ITs a kind of double moral, in one hand we find it terrible That these scammers , drain innocent thai woman’s bank accounts, ( and it should be punished), but in the other hand we accept the same woman drain the Falang bank account year by year :-), and when empty, go for the next victim, hmmmm... something to think about.. ha ha

I like this guys. Millions of thai ladies stole many billions of bath from a lot of farrangs. Some of them jumped (and still jump) down from Pattaya skyscrapers. Respect to the black boys who turn around that game. It NEVER happens to a wrong lady here!

I wonder how much money has been swindled by Thai women for similar offences?

There would be a case of having an almost blanket ban on people, male or female from some countries.  Staring with certain African states , most of the "stan"s and several of the ext soviet satellites and/or "stan"-alikes.

I'm sure they could have got another 20 police in that photo if they did away with the tables.

Pure racism! They’re just misunderstood...?

Well , blame the fools and those greedy women.I see the article as biased or with racial tone as no picture or emphasis on the Thai suspects?

Yes those poor people - no visas, working illegally in prostitution and drugs along Sukhumvit rd every night, pestering tourists and grabbing their arms, scamming and lurking threateningly we have no right to criticise them - you just reminded me why i hate liberal SNOWFLAKES SO MUCH!!!

In an unrelated case, Surachate said that police were investigating loan sharks that preyed on some 100,000 villagers in the Northeast. By the end of this month, police should be able to return some 2,000 rai of farmland back to farmers that had been seized by loan sharks, he said.

Now here is a story more worthy of being the headline.  

 

Surprised no ones picked up on this story in 4 pages of comments...

Do the members of the RTP have an ongoing competition to appear in as many photos as possible, or is it a requirement for promotion? I think "Big Joke" is winning at the moment! And they could only manage to get 16 cops into the picture, and no Thai suspects! Still, they seem to be achieving some results, so credit where it is due, I suppose.

...I don't see any Thais on side with the criminals.....

 

...maybe they mean the Thais that aided and abetted can face... 'from... zero time...up to 10 years'...???

Can anyone decipher that chart?, I have never met a thai woman with 500,000 baht to spare, how do they find them?, and why do they fall for these scams, is it a promise of a handsome millionaire that attracts them?.

With all the large signs and photo ops this is starting to look more like a political campaign than a police operation . Prayut had better watch out.

happy to see the crooks get busted but getting tired of the soap opera it involves.
