StayinThailand2much Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Saw a similar scheme yesterday for mango farming on Facebook. Little information, just promising almost 20% profit. Obviously trying to lure greedy, but gullible people... Edited August 2, 2022 by StayinThailand2much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, people are probably buying into it now and we'll have news about it a year later stating that hundreds of people got scammed by it for hundreds of millions and that the suspects already ran away 6 months ago. Proactive is a word Thailand should use more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

userabcd Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) When monies of a large amount are involved, be sure that govts will pull out all the stops and scour the earth to find and bring the perpetrators back to face justice.
