THB ฿3 Billion is about USD $88 MILLION. I don't believe these scammers ever got that much. Nowhere near.

Agree. That would average about 250,000 dollars per victim. Not credible.

 

But I'm sure the G-men enjoyed getting the attention from the press. Not. 

Plenty of YouTube videos showing interactions with Indian scammers. If you get a call from a person with a heavy Indian accent who claims to be “Michael Johnson” or “Elizabeth Jones” and uses language that likes of FBI or IRS etc wouldn’t use and you fall for it, unfortunately is a poor reflection on your intellect. 

This thread amazes me. If it had been about Thais being dupped, everyone here would be busy bashing the Thais for stupidity! But this is about Americans being dupped (yes, I'm American) and no body mentions how stupid the Americans were! The difference in responses stupefies me. And that's my 2 cents worth....
