It takes  a  real  piece  of  lowlife  scum  to do this  to  anyone  with this man's  sort  of disabilities, she  should be  hunted  down and  locked up  for  minimum  of 10  years, bitch.

maybe she did it to pay back these poor Thai women.

The guy has been a bit of a fool splashing out like he did but hey how many on here have also been led up the garden path .? Being disabled will make him an easier target for some and that's what's happened here .. The old sow and associates have maxed out on his vulnerability using his naivety in expressing generosity against him ..  they have taken advantage of him .. As for the cops wanting money to look into it that gives an insight into the mentality of people who are supposed to serve the public not join in the free for all ..

You may as well tell us HOW you got scammed 

Dream on.

I will say the non-love interest one was of the class of these crimes where the perps take advantage of the victim's own greed. That's definitely shameful because you really are partly guilty in those cases. If it sounds too good to be true …

That is exactly right.

 

I am not proud to say, but I did the same with wifey. Told her that I had no more money and I needed to go home. Immediately, she asked for a waffle machine, 1200 baht, and then proceeded to do the markets. Told me to stay, and she would take care of us.

 

It was at that moment, that I knew I had gotten a good one, and to this day, she tries to save us money every time, and will always opt for the cheaper option. I love her for it, but have learnt by now, that spending a little more, gets you better quality products.

 

Wouldn't change her for the world. ????

Crazy man, thinking with the small head, instead of using his brain.

The saying "people in glass wheelchairs" springs to mind.

What can one even say? Many of us tend to use a great deal of discrimination when it comes to lending money to our close friends. Not sure how to even respond to the idea of lending money to someone you have never even met. Desperation knows no bounds. 

 

Do real men do something like this? I think a real man would call for patience. And face to face meetings. Get to know someone. Take your time. Get ahold of your anxiety. Let it unfold in a rather organic fashion. There is nothing natural about meeting anyone online, and you know virtually nothing about them, until you have spent some real time together. Months, even years. 

 

For some of us, who are not millennials, the whole concept of striking up a relationship online, then chatting and spending dozens or hundreds of hours getting to know someone online, and texting to death, without ever meeting them, just reeks of desperation, and isolation. The few times I ever engaged in online dating, my rule was two emails or chats, then a Skype type video call, then an actual meeting of 20 minutes for a cup of coffee. Lets see where it goes from there. You do not want to meet so quickly? OK. Find another pen pal please. Homey don't play that game.

 

The biggest part of the problem here, is the extreme emasculation that is taking place in the West. Most men, in the US, Europe, and Oz, are no longer real men, when it comes to dealing with their women. Their women have made their lives so difficult, and alot of women have gotten so far away from their innate femininity, and have become dominant, and super controlling, and men just go along with it. Most men have become so hungry for love, or emotionally desperate for some kindness, and TLC. And most are so desirous of being around a real woman, who knows how to act like a woman, and manifest the dignity, within femininity. So, it is easy for the con artists, like this worm Jariyaporn, to take advantage of emotionally wounded men, who seem to be willing to do anything to regain a semblance of normality in their lives, with a decent woman. 

 

When my friends ask, I tell them, always remember, if it is good, it is only going to get better. If there are problems, they will reveal themselves over time. Take your time getting to know a woman here, or anywhere. Time is your ally. It is rarely their ally. They are usually trying to step up the timetable. We need to push back. We need to assert control. An environment like this allows us to do so. Take advantage of that. Be a man. Step up. Pay tribute to the gender. Refuse to lay down anymore. Refuse to be a doormat. Refuse to check your cajones at the door. Start making the decisions! I have so many friends, who come here, and from the very start, make the same mistakes they made back in the West. Except here, they do not need to make those mistakes. The environment does not dictate that they behave like lambs. Many do not know, or realize that, or they succumb to "force of habit". Every ship needs a captain. If the man is not willing to be the captain of the ship, the woman will take over, here in Thailand. Most women here seem to want a strong man. But, if they end up with a wimp, they will take if she is a big baby, who only looks like a real woman, but in reality is a 13 year old, or if she is a con artist, if she is only in it for the money, those realizations will manifest themselves over time. Time allows clarity. Never, ever move too quickly. That is the undoing of most of these guys. Man up. Do yourself proud.

I myself have been scammed a few times in my life and one of the times was over a potential love interest. Both were in the U.S.

Same here. Back in the states, I was in a low point in my life working a crappy job, decided to chat up the cute cashier at the store opposite mine, and ended up in a "relationship" where I found myself only being called upon when she needed something. A quick look at her phone revealed I wasn't the only guy doing this. A good hustler. A shame she couldn't have channeled that into something more productive. A friend of mine got sweet talked by another young lady, paying legal fines and bailing her poor dad out of jail, who turned out to be the BF. Hah. This stuff certainly isn't limited to the LOS.

I wonder if he would do the same with an Austrian woman. To buy a taxi driver a new Mercedes is more than stupid. I really want to know what mental trick some Thai women have that western men stop thinking and give away all their money.

Where is CSI-Thailand when they are needed.  Why is the Trust Thailand new TAT slogan still applicable....well maybe never will be...

While this crime victim has no doubt acted very foolishly, I am not ready to disrespect him. Scam artists can be remarkably skilled. We all have human weaknesses and some people are masters at exploiting them. I myself have been scammed a few times in my life and one of the times was over a potential love interest. Both were in the U.S. and the total damage for both was about 500 USD. Very minor compared to this case, but the experiences made me a less trusting person. It sounds like this man has been seriously damaged from this scam and I hope he can recover from it. 

Agree totally it’s easy to condemn him as a fool. But being handicapped he was probably more vulnerable than some.There are some low con artists out there.But from my own observations the percentage of good relationships far outweigh the ones that end in tragic circumstances like this one.

Ah the old Thai Romance Scam! Where is the vinyl board and the six Thai cops for the photo op or is that only for Nigerians??? Very sad double standards! 

another scum scammer.

Ah........love is blind for some, got to feel for another one who bites the dust.

 

When will "men" truly understand, love and ones finances should always be totally separate and should always be that way, why, because love can die, and money will always keep you alive.

 

Better to have a Champagne budget, but a fresh coconut water lifestyle.

 

No need to show everyone what you have.

These Thais wont give up until they squeeze every single satang out of this sorry sob. What a great bunch of people.

More like a brain injury. Unbelievable. 

Will anybody accuse those Nigerian scammers after a story like this?

The only thing that shocks me about this story is giving away a 3 million baht Merc. What was he thinking?

 

Well - possibly wanting to bask in the Thai show-off culture every bit as much as his new beau. For me that would lose most of the sympathy I might otherwise have for him.

You're right, but hat's because those stories are always full of holes and never backed up with credible evidence.  The OP is the exact opposite of that.

No double standards.  They need to be arrested and charged first, just as happens with the Nigerians.
