[Pedrogaz]

Jesus, with the house, cars and cash my Mrs must've taken about 15 to 20 million from me. I wonder if I can get any of it back?

Hi, I'm John from the UK (Bruce from Australia, Joe from the USA, or Hans from Germany).

It is simple to find out the real name even address of anyone these days esp if they go online. Anyone with malice aforethought can have such information in minutes.

This is me .......... took Thailand 1 year to teach me better.

 

But unlike the OP there's nothing I would care about any family/friends/employers knowing.

I'm in Thailand, what do they think I'm doing? 

When people ask, (and they have their usual suspicions) I tell them I am a student of archeology. That the area I am most passionate about is Sukhothai and Ayutthayan portico designs on temples. There are hundreds of well preserved temples to study! Particularly interested in temples from the late 13th century to the late 16th century. 

 

They give me this look. Really? Wow. I had no idea. How unique. I never knew. Fascinating. Tell me more!

It doesnt say where the foreigner is from, I bet he is from Scandinavia though.

A vinyl board during the presentation by immigration chief Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang yesterday also indicated the involvement of the Saensuk (Bang Saen) police in Chonburi.

Actually, it looks like the vinyl boards have been replaced by a fancy LCD display.

Was gonna say it. A 1.5 million Pay-for-Play

Always amazing how some are so naive.

And so, police was also involved in the scam ???

Another scandal but it's clear that here, this does not surprise anyone anymore.

And what happens with the police involvement? Silly me, nothing!!  Just makes me sick of the total disregard in acting on corruption here!!!

Well, there are ways to make it very hard. E.g., an encounter in a short-time hotel where you keep control of your wallet or whatever might have an ID. She'd have to follow you back somehow.

Not very likely :she was living it up in a luxury condo on Sukhumvit. He might get back a token sum.

yes as soon as she cons another man out of his money the police will get half and the first conned man will get the other half

Coming here to find everlasting love is like spending a fortune on losing lottery tickets. Good for the few that succeed in finding a good partner. A mate of mine was with her for 10 years. Cost him 2 condo's, a car, a rice harvester boob job nose job and a house for the relly's. Oh ya, the car and motor bike and half the cash. When her and the family were all fixed up she walked out and shacked up with her old high school sweetheart and was married a few weeks later. But blinded by balls in  your eyes can make you an easy target.

She has been charged with fraud under false pretenses and extortion.

And he should be charged with "living" under false pretenses.
