Popular Post BKKTRAVELER Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 I know of a Thai woman (well educated and well to do) who was scammed out of 400k Baht in a similar fashion. She sent the money to an acquaintance with the promise of 8% return in 10 days... When she didn't get her money back, she was told she could get paid back in beauty products instead for the same value ???? Her husband lost his <deleted> and their relationship has been very rocky since then unfortunately. She also had to get a lawyer and is suing the scammer, which has been ongoing for almost a year now and with no positive results yet. I asked her why she did it, she said because her income had decreased during Covid while her expenses increased due to her helping out struggling relatives. What a world we live in... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Woof999 Posted February 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Unfortunately what is clearly a scam to most of us isn't to many in SE Asia. Reminds me of an occasion when I was walking in Phnom Penh with a friend of mine and his Filipino wife. A rather shabby looking character walked up to us and offered a $50 note, 2 x $20 notes and a $10 note for $50. We immediately said no and the conversation between me and his wife went: HER: But why, it's a good deal? ME: They are fake HER: But how do you know they are fake?

Henryford Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Sounds like the people in Pattaya who recently invested with a guy who worked in a well know bank. They are offered fabulous returns then are surprised when it turns out to be a scam. Edited February 16, 2022 by Henryford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That scam is almost a piece of modern art, the perpetrator should enlist for "Asia's Got Talent", I'd wager he has his chances to win the contest!

Irrespective of their level of education, many Thai women always strike me as remarkably naive. Add to that the imperative that they feel for helping relatives, which is in so many ways praiseworthy, but so often causes them problems... As you say, what a world we live in!
