Popular Post 473geo Posted October 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 8, 2020 I would like to say thanks guys My daughter informed me she was communicating on a dating app with a farang, this alone was of little concern, she informed me the guys name was Joseph from the UK. Now this did start me thinking of the scammers frequently mentioned on Tvisa, because Joseph is a rather outdated name in the UK, but I suspected was a considered a 'safe' sounding name in some circles I took the time to inform my daughter and wife of the scammers that befriend Thai Ladies then they are requested to make a payment to customs for a parcel/gift by a Thai lady accomplice. A week later my daughter shows me a photo of the guy and his mother - he still does not look like a Joseph ???? but I let it run Today my daughter receives a call from Thai lady, package from farang in customs, farang not pay, 25,000 baht to pay to release Thankfully my family were well prepared all down to the publicity and information flow on Tvisa So thank you all for the informative contributions that may well do somebody else a big favour in the future Give yourselves a pat on the back 23 4 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I expected this question Joseph was a family name in my family - here are some examples of the names people in my family went by when Christened Joseph Joseph - Joe Joseph - Jos John Joseph - Jack John Joseph - John So anybody who goes by Joseph I would expect to look a bit like a ageing preacher or not be from the UK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not required when it is brought to my attention when perusing other articles on Tvisa - my point being the scam was highlighted in the background but proved useful when I least expected it, for that I am grateful 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually running around in a 'technicolour dream coat'.... On another note: Kudos to geo473 for bringing up a daughter who is able to openly communicate with him about chatting with a guy online. This in itself is the primary factor in his daughter not being scammed and ultimately remaining safe.

Using an app to communicate with a guy miles away !!! ???? TV has no app, but there are hundreds of trusted members, guaranteed no scammers. All in great shape, young in 60s or 70s ready for a fresh long term relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
