It's ok, no one cares whether you believe the story or whether you want evidence of ATM withdrawals! Who said that he was kept in a landlord's rented room?

I know a guy just like that..only worse He has no family whatsoever back home, none here, zero thai language and dementia is already takin hold.

Abmong Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 This sounds like a scam. He could have just gotten the guy out of there or called the police.
