Kerryd Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I guess it didn't occur to them that the proper way to do it (these days) is to set up a GoFundMe first, then have a "friend" contact the Mirror (or Sun, you know which ones) to "sell" their story - and get their GoFundMe link published. Then sit back and watch the money pour in. And because your family isn't (directly) involved, no Police, no Interpol alerts and no visits from the local authorities. Then, after your goal has been reached, announce that the "victim" has escaped and that the "authorities" have arrested the kidnappers - but don't give any actual details like locations, dates and names. Those kind of things can be checked after all. The key is to keep everything generic enough that no one can track down where you actually were, when you actually were there and who was actually involved. That's why so many of those scams are set up by "a friend" and not an identifiable family member. And the incident happened "in Pattaya" during a trip "last fall" when you stayed at "a hotel" "near the beach" and went "to a bar". (It's funny too, probably 95% of the GoFundMe scams that center around people in Thailand all seem to happen in Phuket. And the stories almost always first appear in a UK gossip rag (like the Mirror or Sun) - after a GoFundMe has already been set up.) Why can't these scams happen more often in Pattaya so I can check them out easier ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a question for you armchair experts, what's the breakdown by nationality (Brits, Aussie, German, Russian, etc) in Pattaya? 2024 for sure year of the Brits so far. pretty well behaved in 2023. Russians were 2023. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paris333 Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Congratulations to Royal Thai Police Department for solving this case. The British should be banned from entering the Kingdom of Thailand for life by Thai authorities. 1. They were in possession of drugs. 2. They were in possession of weapons in a foreign country. Thailand is not Europe and America's paradigm of lawlessness, and Thai citizens are not second-class citizens. Congratulations to Royal Thai Police Department!
