Worapoj Lalitjirakul to join a team from the Hanuman Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit in arresting Mr. Onur G., 43, Turkish nationality, under an arrest warrant on fraud charges issued by Phra Khanong Provincial Court on March 23, 2015.

How's it feel to be on the other side of the scam for once, ladies?

Only in Thailand would this greaseball be considered "good looking", 555

Will be interesting to hear of the charges.  Without contracts hmmm

You really didn't get what he was talking about didn't you?

He was 'good looking', so to Thais he must be honest. Image is everything.

I think they are probably more “on the other side of the scam” than we know. The fact is that this guy has taken advantage of his victims and there is no evidence, only speculation or innuendo, that these ladies somehow are or have been involved in subjecting scams upon others themselves. Not every Thai woman is a scammer but we do tend to hear a lot of stories in this space that would have us believe that. 
In fact on a worldwide basis there is evidence to suggest more than 70% of all scams are perpetrated by men whilst romance scams sit at close to 50/50. 
 

What's good for the Siamese goose is not good for the gander apparently. 

That's certainly a first.

No more Turkish delight for her

Just makes me want to shreik my bolt ons off.

"Film-star good looks"....

Maybe I should try.

I mean it's more like Thai ladies scamming farangs.

Blimey sounds familiar

Standard bar girl operating policy ! 

Yeah it sucks, but Not sure where the scam is either. These women are adults. They took the decision to give him the money and that's it. No crime here

They give him the money under false pretentions. Here is your crime.

Not a viable defense. Demonstrable intent of the scammer is the usual standard.
Victim blaming is not a good look.

Let me tell you and witnessed for years the captain kirks are the world leaders in cash extraction from old ladies and they also have the strongest stomachs ever created ????

THAT’S a switch.  A Thai woman BEING defrauded, rather than the opposite. ????

Jeesuz wept this place is a circus.

 

It like everyone has a mental age of 4 years old.

 

So if he kept the money but still stayed in touch with the victims it would not of been fraud?

 

Retarded Thai logic at its best.

 

The real reason for the arrest was that one of the women he got money from has a daddy who is connected in the military, police, or politics.
