rooster59 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Immigration police step up operations against romance scammers Tanakorn Sangiam BANGKOK, 9 November 2018 (NNT) - The Immigration Bureau police are taking steps to eradicate romance scammers and fraudulent call-center groups which have already caused some two million baht in damages to their victims. Acting Immigration Bureau Commissioner Pol Maj Gen Surachate Hakparn announced progress in the operations to eradicate those allegedly involved in romance scams and call-center frauds, from which 16 suspects in romance scams and three others in call-center frauds have been arrested. Fourteen Thai suspects have been arrested for alleged involvement in romance scams, and three others for call- center frauds while two foreigners have been arrested for alleged involvement in romance scams. These scammers have operated on facebook as Fast Racing Shop, Me Online Center, and Top Hit Shopping, tricking unsuspected users into transferring money to them, given empty promises of products to be delivered. The scammers have caused a total of about two million baht in damages to some 1,500 victims across the country. Two foreign nationals and a Thai agent have also been arrested for allegedly producing fake documents and forging the seal of the Department of Consular Affairs for use in the application for visa extension. -- nnt 2018-11-11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotMahKid Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 (edited) Misleading propaganda. Everybody knows, so big Joke also does, that most of those scammers operate from their home country, like Ghana or Nigeria and they don't have to leave their country to collect their money. Unless big Joke is going to those countries to "arrest" them there it useless to prosecute those people (If Big Joke is admitted to those countries, what I doubt.) So it's misleading to say: " No more romance scams ". He can find the few criminals that operates within Thailand, that's not so hard, but stop it? No way! He just goes on with the job that he did before he was placed at Immigration police. He should reform the whole immigration and Visa system if he's so good as he tries to be, for me he is and stays a big Joke.

Cadbury Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Another day and another huge poster for this megastar. Big posters featuring bad black man and good Big Joke do nothing to prevent gullible women from being scammed from far afield. This scam has been going on since the internet was invented. One would think these lonely hearts would be starting to wake up by now. Or does desperation get the better of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if not thinking with the small head, the rest of the situations are completely based up on the foreign mans stupidity and blindness to the truth. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thechook Posted November 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 11, 2018 Does this mean a thai girl can only have 1 foreign husband/boyfriend and when she tells them he is the only one and her heart is for only him, she has to tell the truth. Hum a lot of lost revenue for Thailand. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all foreigners in that situation, find a mirror.. look at it and start calling your mirror image stupid, and blame him for only thinking with his wrong head. Its should be clear the larger the age difference and difference in looks the bigger the chance its about money. This is however not always the case it certainly happens that relations stay good. Its just like winning the lottery everyone talks about it but it almost never happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you give the same advise to all the women who believe a handsome rich man loves them too much? Because that was kind of my point. If Thai women get scammed it seems the foreign men are the bad guys. But if foreign men get scammed then the men are gullible idiots and deserve what they get...

Same advice goes both ways or course... why would it be different. That being said I don't like romance scammers much it can hurt a lot but the scammed person does bear some blame too for not thinking. Its just that sometimes its just too obvious and then i do blame the scammed person a bit too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
