He has no money left. Not worth the hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 When I lived in Nontaburi in 1993 or so, I heard the name 'James Wattana' a lot. I thought, wow this snooker player must be very popular here to have a road named after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googling "james wattana net worth" gives results suggesting he is worth somewhere between $2.7 and $5m. He was only the eighth snooker player to earn £1m, although that was ages ago.

James Wattana is a decent bloke, highly unlikely to be involved in such a scenario. Perhaps he just freaked and wanted the fictitious story unfolding to all go away despite having nothing to do with it. Also unlikely he's down to 8k... in that account maybe but the guy is worth millions ($, £) and will have accounts in the UK etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot more to it than one call stating "We're told you're involved in drug trafficking, send us money", "Ok, I'll immediately send it". Fraudsters can, obviously, be very convincing, that's why there are so many reports of these incidents and falling for the scam is not an indication of guilt or involvement in criminal activity.

Sophisticated? Calling someone at 11pm and telling lies isn't much of a scam. Hang up. Change your phone number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
