Fake Hi-So man swindles over 10 million baht from women

[snoop1130]

 

Police arrested a Thai man who created a fake Hi-So (high society) profile to swindle more than 30 women out of over 10 million baht. A number of his victims were too embarrassed to report the crime to the police, allowing the man to continue his deceitful operations for years.

 

However, several victims did come forward to file a complaint against the fraudster. He is a Thai man named Thanathorn, also known as Sia Meen Vogue. The victims accused him of swindling their money and stealing their assets. According to the victims, Thanathorn’s profile on various social media platforms portrays him as a handsome and wealthy man.

 

On social media, Thanathorn shared pictures of himself standing next to luxury cars, donning designer-branded clothes and wearing expensive accessories. He also posted money transfer receipts for large sums of money and pretended to be friends with the real rich and famous.

 

Thanathorn flirted with many women on social media and many victims thought he was the man of their dreams. Unfortunately, their dreams turned into a nightmare after Thanathorn began borrowing their money, tricking them into giving him their valuables or stealing their assets.

Women sure don't like it when the shoe goes onto the other foot.  Man takes advantage of hypergamy and comes out ahead.

Hard to believe they fall for this. If the guy is supposedly so rich why is he asking to borrow money duh!

Hmmm, OK I can believe the gullible out there could fall for sending someone some money to help them out, but sending him their valuables sends them into a whole new bracket of stupidity !

     Because he knows there are people stupid enough to give it to him!

He's not the first to pull that off, there was a more famous one than that, Netflix made a show about him even. Some Israeli guy if I remember rightly.
