hotchilli Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Before parting with hard cash it's easy to do some investigation work via the internet to get verification of these so called jobs or overseas positions.... never take anything at face value!

Kerryd Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Da*# Canadians ! Don't you know you're supposed to apologize (before, during and after) doing anything ? Eh ? And then apologize for apologizing too much eh ! Hosers ! Damaging Canada's reputation ! Trudeau will probably make him the new Minister of Foreign Affairs after this (eh) !

You are forgetting that he was scamming Thai Uni students Do you honestly believe that any Thai Uni student would have the common sense to check up on anything ?

oldrunner Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Scammed folks should have first taken a short course in COMMON SENSE. A "Canadian" setting up USA paid internships should have been their first hint of "duhhhh here's my money". If conman spoke with a French accent, that also should have alerted the idiots donating money to his good life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 To all Thai students (coming from a farang) - please, please check fully on the internet about such claims and NEVER part with money until properly verified documentation is presented.

blackcab Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I would not like to be this gentleman if the accusations are found to be true. It is quite possible that he will receive a sentence for each instance of theft, to run consecutively. That could amount to quite a substantial amount of time.

CanuckThai Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Might be interesting if they poke around a bit, clarify the story and a few facts. Apparently the "Thai Business Manager" has some involvement. Not that a majority Thai business partner would ever cause grief.... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Paid internships in the US. Ridiculous, everyone in North America knows that internships and non paid positions. Companies get young people to work for free to gain experience. One of Canada's/America's scams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 A good lesson to the victims (and a few others)....a white skinned person can be a cheat and a thief... a black skinned (potential x-ray outlaw foreigner candidate), can turn out to be honest...

DashRye Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 How dumb these university kids are. Most likely they dont know anything on the internet other than Facebook, Snapchat. There is one for you future professional kids, LinkedIn.Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
