Nabbed! Mr Singh ripped people off with his mystic mumbo jumbo

 

Thai caption: Om........confused by mumbo jumbo

 

Immigration police in Ranong in southern Thailand announced the arrest of a 24 year old Indian man called Vikramjeet Singh. 

 

Mr Singh had told people including tourists he was a mystic from a temple in India. 

 

Taken into evidence after his arrest at an OTOP shop was a clear bottle containing 2 ml of yellow liquid and eight other items. 

 

His MO was to ask the age of his victims then crumple up a piece of wet paper in their hands. Then he would incant some religious mumbo jumbo and get them all confused. 

 

Then he would blow on them, release the paper from their hands and use it to indicate how much they owed him for his fortune telling. 

 

Hey Presto! - one Indian now in custody charged with extortion.

yes, I have tested those idiots. I know their tricks. Every time when they tell me 'you are a lucky man', I reply 'I know your mother's name'. and if they ask what is it, I say 'suvar'. that's a pig in their language.

I'll never understand how people fall for this BS. I mean it's not real like the Nigerian prince I'm doing business with, or my bargirl fiancee I met on New Years Eve.

So I'm going to guess that the tailor business isn't doing too well.

Remember the big Sadargi that used to walk around on Khaosan back in the early 90's? The Thais told me not to make eye-contact with him or you will be hypnotized. If you ignored his advances he would usually say something like "are you an angry man"?

I met a young English couple who claimed to have "sat down" with one of them in a soi off Khaosan and recall later feeling heavy headed and slightly punch-drunk discovering later that they were both missing several personal items (jewerly et..). They were confused about what actually happened but concluded that they must had been in fact hypnotized.
