Popular Post Puppa Posted December 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2023 In my old topic I wrote about a 5000 THB scam through western union. I got back 2000 THB but still miss 3000 and the guy promised me to pay back this amount in two weeks. Should I wait or, no matter what, make a report with police or online? Thanks 👍 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fat is a type of crazy Posted December 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2023 Pretty amazing you got 2000 back. Well done. I assume that was through you enquiring with him and him surprisingly replying. I don't think waiting for 2 weeks will hurt your opportunities to do something later - and the police would probably be even less likely to do something given he is somewhat cooperating. So wait I say. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Guess it wouldn't hurt to wait. He apparently doesn't want anyone looking to close at his affairs ... or simply putting you off, till he can hide his affairs better. Filing won't get you money any faster.

Thanks 👍 if true ... then well done. But how did you contact him? why would he give 2000 back and not the 5000 ... I find it strange as no one ever pays deposit via WU. If what you say is true then I'd just wait a few weeks as you don't really have any choice, and the police won't do anything for such a small amount.

I tried to sue a scammer - I got a photo, I got an account number - for 1000 Baht (so called deposit). However, they rolled with their eyes only. Also, it was Sunday.

richard_smith237 Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 IF you had made a police report at the time (as recommended my some and ridiculed by others) you'd have had better leverage to ensure full return with the promise of revoking the report..... Comments at the time were.... "If you [me] had lived in Thailand for any length of time..." etc etc... These posters don't know how such reports can give you leverage, also the don't identify that 'repeated reports' (from different complainants about the same person) is likely to trigger action. Lazy people just commented that you won't get anything - they are being proven wrong now... follow up, chase up and give yourself leverage with a police report.
