I could think of that they let him install a key logger, there are ways to take over the mobile phone. So in the night a bad guy can transfer money using your phone. But that isn't mentioned.... But what is, very clearly, mentioned is how he lost the money...if you just bother to read it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallGuyJohninBKK Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Folks, if you read the full article, you'll see that -- at least according to the article --this wasn't about spyware or key logging or hacking or anything like that. The victim, in pursuit of porn, voluntarily transferred his own money directly to the scammers. From the full OP: "During the tasks, the victim was lured into transferring money to the website. The web admin encouraged the victim to transfer larger amounts assuring him that he would get all of the money back at the end of the game. Eventually, the victim lost 3 million baht to the scam." It's called thinking with your little head, instead of thinking with your big head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tell me to transfer a big amount: OK so far I can follow it. They promise me to send the money back??? Send me 3 Millions, later I send you the money back??? that makes no sense at all Something must be missing here....Has the guy still money? I have some land on the beach for sale in Lao.

The article suggests the victim was persuaded to start out transferring a small amount in pursuit of porn, and then progressively larger amounts again and again...until the net total of all the transfers supposedly reached 3MB. I'm sure people are sometimes victimized by technology. But oftentimes in a lot of these kinds of Thai cases we read about here, once you delve into the actual details, it's pure stupidity on the the part of victims voluntarily handing over large amounts of money under dubious circumstances.
