What’s the scam?

[New beginnings]

Maybe it’s not a scam and, just maybe I’m being paranoid, but the weirdest thing just happened.  I was sitting at a table in the park opposite the army camp near the river. A youngish Thai guy approached me asking me to take his photo using his own camera which I did.  After about 10 minutes he returned now wanting to take a photo of me. Believe me if you’ve ever met me your know I’m no oil painting and certainly no Adonis but saw no reason to refuse his request. However he then returned now asking me to speak to a woman on his phone who was seeking further details about me which I declined to answer and handed the phone back to the Thai guy.  Does anyone know just what was going on, is it a scam?

He wanted to pair you with his sister

Fake passport, maybe?

He was the woman's pimp. Just trying to drum up a bit of business on a slow day. A few details needed to figure out how much they could get out of you.

He’s told her you are his new gay lover.

To the OP: If you eventually get an answer, please come back and tell us.

Either that or they were looking for their newest involuntary kidney donor!

Did you have a 1,000 baht note affixed to your forehead?

"I declined to answer and handed the phone back to the Thai guy."

 

Did it then not occur to you to ask the fellow what he was doing?

Hi Trujillo, the Thai guys English was very limited and to be honest just felt it was easier to walk away.

What sort of questions did the woman ask will depend if they were trying to data harvest enough to do whatever they were planning.

Or if you were up for a threesome?
