Please, please Big Joke help me! I've lost all my money

A Thai woman is the latest person to appeal to Immigration chief Surachate "Big Joke" Hakparn after losing her money in a Ponzi scheme. 

 

Noonaa (field rat) - an assumed name - said she got stung for 500,000 baht after joining the scheme based around a Facebook group in Melbourne, said INN. 

 

High interest rates were offered before she lost her investment. She blamed a Sydney based Thai woman aged just 27 and other Thais. 

 

She said there were 100 victims and losses were 30 million baht. 

 

Thaivisa notes that the appeal to Surachate - who is seen as a kind of savior for the Thai people - was made via the Thai tech police.

The saviour is busy ,but one of his apostles will call you back real soon...leave a message after the beep.

Oh you poor dill...…………..but it sounded so easy!

[ThreeEyedRaven]

I am wondering which is the most stupid, putting her money into a scheme offering super high interest rates, which is almost certainly going to end up being a scam, or thinking that Big Joke can get the money back for her from another country.

[Ossy]

You're joking, right?

[seajae]

doesnt matter how often this type of thing happens and is reported in the papers, when thais see BIG INTEREST listed they immediately give them all their money, greed is hard to remove or subdue in thais. We are seeing this sort of thing reported a lot more these days yet they still do it, no sympathy for the idiots that simply believe what they read or are told and then cant get their minds past the dollar signs, really have to wonder at the mentality of these people

[Misterwhisper]

Tar and feather her and pelt her with rotten eggs and tomatoes (non-GMO, please) for her insatiable greed and obvious stupidity.

farang no better, when they see  adverts saying put 2 million baht down for a condo on a bit of waste ground and in 9 months after the build you can sell for 3 million, the building company have no capital whatsoever they are using the deposits for the build, then as we know no build come out on budget, builder goes bust does a runner, and poor farang who is only thinking of making a killing ends up with jack shit.NEVER EVER BUY OFF PLAN  PERIOD

No problem, just sit around and wait for a taxi driver to return it. 

[worgeordie]

Nah, that's reserved for ferang recipients, Thais are not allowed to participate. Must be the only 'perk' ferangs get.

[marqus12]

and the mask and dark glasses are even more pathetic

[holy cow cm]

Too hungry for money and too fast of a promised return will never profitable. Too bad. 500 k for a THAI, and evrn many expats is a lot of scratch

[notasmartassknowitallfarag]

I thought Big Joke said it was only foreigners who scam Thai people.

[RichardColeman]

these schemes are right up there with 'Mum, I've met a lovely Thai girl in a bar I want to marry'

[Longcut]

I thought it was written that Thais don't try and scam other Thais. Only Farangs do that...

[RotBenz8888]

Greedy woman, serves her right.

[BestB]

Sorry darling , I am busy chasing all

the bad foreigners , I am immigration chief not police chief.

 

maybe can ask other general according to whom Thai never cheat Thai it’s only pesky foreigners who cheat Thai

He'll be able to help

[chickenslegs]

Don't these ponzi schemes (pyramid) normally involve recruiting other mugs into the scheme?

 

I'm wondering how many people this woman encouraged to join, so that she would get her unearned profit.

 

Yes, of course, the original organisers are criminal shysters, but so are all the "investors" - all the way down the line - until the pyramid collapses.

Thai brains works in mysterious ways, I don't even want to speculate how she ended up in this mess. 

 

 

 

[mikebell]

If the PM can control the weather, surely an appeal to him would be more successful?
