Popular Post Chris Daley Posted June 3 Popular Post Share Posted June 3 (edited) Ever since I met her 8 years ago she has said she owns land in Chiang Mai. I thought this is so amusing I never talked about it much. She paid rent for the land for years and finally set up a date to go and see it. We booked flight tickets and the day before the owner cancelled the trip. I am rolling on the floor with laughter but I have conform to society so I say ''Oh no.. really?!!! I feel sad.'' The owner then wants to meet at a nearby shopping mall. When they meet the owner has the audacity to say there is no land. She says she is sorry and she will pay us back month by month. We haven't had a single payment. We have paid for her lifestyle for the past decade and she just says there is no land but she will pay us back. Amazing. How about you? Do you pay for land hundreds of miles away that you have never seen? Edited June 3 by Chris Daley 8 7 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Celsius Posted June 3 Popular Post Share Posted June 3 My wife was playing the share money crap where one Thai person (in this case her friend) puts money in a high savings interest account (in this case it was a bank in United States) and everyone pitches in every month a certain sum for supposedly higher interest. As soon as I met her I told her to pull money out of this nonsense and she did.... around 500k baht in her case. Some "customers" weren't so lucky. I asked her to explain me in detail how this s̶c̶a̶m̶ scheme works, but her explanation never made any sense to me. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gargamon Posted June 3 Popular Post Share Posted June 3 So let's assume you were giving her an allowance and some of that was being sent to pay for the non-existent land. Who's the fool in that scenario? 1 1 6 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically you are also laughing at yourself? Never thought or asked about contracts or paperwork to justify all the payments?

Popular Post richard_smith237 Posted June 3 Popular Post Share Posted June 3 Before we met, Wife put in a couple of Million Baht for an 'off-plan' unit in a shopping mall that was planned to be built next to Chatuchak... A few years later the mall had never been built and the developer was ignoring all calls and communications. Wife went to the consumer board, it was discovered that there were numerous complaints / victims. The consumer board took on the case and sued the developer who was forced to pay out. The result, an agreement to refund about 80% of the money. So, a developer who had taken perhaps 80 Million Baht from potential clients still profited a significant sum. I question whether the developer ever had any plan to build the mall at all or if this was the game (scam) all along. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you pay for land hundreds of miles away that you have never seen? why is she paying rent on land she's never seen? Why would anyone ever buy land the haven't seen? Funny actually some relative of my wife bought land in Chiang Mai too which he never saw first. When he went to finally see it they discovered it was a bog and didn't have any access so basically a scam. This explains why there's so much over priced land all over Chiang Mai though.

They were literally just giving money to some women for nothing. Literally nothing, no land, no contract, no nothing. Imagine some women calls you one day and says pay me 10,000k/month for 10 years and you get some land and you agree and start sending money. That's basically what happened here it sounds like. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven100 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Why was she even renting land with nothing on it ? this doesn't make sense. The whole story is difficult to understand ..... how can she own land in Chang Mai if she's only renting it ? Was she supposedly buying the land of a Thai and he was collecting payments from her for the last decade ( not rent ) ? And the guy who received payments has disappeared ? Yet she say's she will pay you back every cent but until now has payed back zero baht. ? Sounds like she was in on the scam with the Thai guy and they scammed you unfortunately. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
