LOL she has been being nasty to foreigners and now got a taste of her own medicines.

Do you know these girls have a huge FB group posting names and picture of farang they don't like or could not scam. The administrator should be jailed under computer crimes act. I may get the link from the Thai friend who is on the group. Who cares about this Thai. You were put there because your a bad seed

How do we know it was a non-friend?

 

Contrary to popular belief, nothing posted on facebook is ever private, no matter how users adjust their settings. If the girl has placed even more provocative or sexy photos of myself on facebook, expect to see them spread all over the Internet soon or even used to advertise porn. 

First of all, standard the privacy settings are in such way that everyone can see your pics. If you don't change this you are stupid. 

Secondly (no brainer!), never post anything on internet which you want to keep private including innocent photos. 

 

Of course I don't condone identity theft but if you openly share photos you should not complain if they show up somewhere.

I don't think you understand this very well. If a friend shares something you posted then a 'third party' can look at your profile even if what you have posted is for Friends Only. They might - might - only be able to 'lift' your picture and name, but they can then set up a page under your name. It's quite common and happened to me. I only found out when I was invited to Friend myself as someone I might know.

Of course, listing your phone number is stupid and does say it all. But we are dealing with a Thai here, many of whom have the naivety of a child.

There are several private FB groups where Thai girls share information about farangs guys and their relationships with them, ask for advice to more experienced girls or just post pics of hansum farang guys.

I've come across 2 of them and they were kind of "Thai sisters support each other against untruthful farangs". Most of the posts I saw were related to the random new guy they just met online, they were sharing a possibly fake name and some screenshots of the social network profile or videocall they had done, and they asked the other girls on the group if they knew if the guy was a butterfly, a fake profile or just a liar.

I understand FB perfectly, since I have also some FB business pages and advertise on FB.

 

You are off course correct that you can't control if friends share your post, but you have the option to unfriend them if they don't play by your rules. 

 

But as said in another post. Do not share anything on any internet related medium if you want to keep it private. 

 

And yes, your last statement seems indeed true imo. It's not Thai bashing, it's an observation ????

Which should be warning, this day and age, to most that making oneself public - personal pics and details, mobile number, home address, etc - is rather risky. 

 

Some have learned the hard way.

I freely admit I am a dinosaur. However, Facebook baffles me. Why would anyone want to know what I had for dinner? Why would I want to put any personal data on there?

Seems to me it's just a narcissist temple in cyberspace.

Years ago there was a scam on some dating sites that were created in Thailand. Turns out that a guy (and his wife I think it was) were creating false profiles (similar to that mentioned in the OP) and then would converse with anyone that clicked on those profiles, pretending to be that "hot, sexy woman that likes fat old foreigners".

 

The scam was that the foreigners would have to pay for "premium" memberships in order to see more "intimate" pictures or get contact information or the ability to send/receive more messages (basically the same things that pretty much every dating website does minus the husband/wife imitating members bit).

 

Not sure how they were eventually caught but it didn't seem to change anything as it seems there are more dating sites popping up everyday, everywhere and I'm guessing that the most "attractive" profiles on them are also fake.

(Except for the girls that are in Pattaya and use those sites like an escort service. They are probably real.)

 

The supply and demand will continue to walk hand in hand here as everywhere else....

I have to admit, after first moving to Thailand back in 2003, I tried one of these "dating" sites.  After spending a few bob, never ever got to meet anyone of the ladies I was interested in from the website.  After being there for a few years, realized I was taken for a ride.  Bought the gold mine but got the shaft.

I think these particular scams will dry up once this old generation has moved on. The kiddies are far more savvy and and less gullible online. 

 

My question is what is the point of it all if you're not here or are here? If you're here, there are woman for hire EVERYWHERE. A guy can walk 500 meters in any direction and get a load out for cheap. If you're not in Thailand, why do these old guys bother?

I didn't mean "here" as a location but "here" as in this setting comparing to other settings where it exist supply and demand.

 

It will always be someone that will try to seek out from their loneliness by contacting other through internet - those who have the power to psychically seek contact outside their 4 walls do not need to use the internet. Its also a difference between those who seek someone just for hire and those who seek a long lasting relationship. As long as there are a demand it will be a supply and not vice versa.

These 500 metres in any direction to get a load on the cheap. I`ve tried and not had any luck. Do you have maps?

Just found her on facebook, twitter and instergram.

 

She has hundreds of photos of herself on those medias. Not being a friend I had access to all her data on those sites and within only a couple of minutes probably discovered more about her than she knows about herself. This means whoever created that dating site profile of her, could be anyone out of thousands of people, maybe someone not even in Thailand.

 

If these people do not take precautions to protect their own privacy, than what does she expect the police to do? Sorry, don`t have a lot of sympathy for these people.

 

One of the sexiest photos of her on the dating site is obviously photoshopped. Her head on another body.

exactly. the attention seeking these types do on social media... and the sheer stupidity of not regulating your privacy setting (so much for being a "web master"... we talking about spider webs or what here?).... I'm sorry but "bad people" wouldn't have any materials to steal if YOU never provide the materials for the whole public to easily steal.... How dumb.

naivety is not the word that I would use here... naivety has an undertone of not knowing, being innocent, being the victim, etc. In cases like these, it's just ignorance, narcissism and sheer stupidity. They don't know not because nobody has never told them, they don't know simply because they don't want to know. Information is out there and very accessible. Even the dumbest "web master" would know about the very basics of internet privacy. In this case, they don't know because they are way too self-absorbed to care. She deserves this harsh lesson. Hope other Thais learn from her lesson and stop posting on social media 10 times a day. Really annoying.

I'm in Bangkok, but if you are outside the city, it might be double the distance to find a willing transactional participant. I've not had to go very far ever in Thailand!

I think we all know the Thai propensity for face building on Facebook and other social media. We have seen all the tendency to post most stuff Public to that it has the maximum face building effect. 

 

And, yeah, she's probably a "web master" in the same way the condo plumbers are "engineers". Titles in Thailand are useful only as a way to gauge what someone THINKS they are rather than what they ACTUALLY are.
