Leap of irony: Cheating Thai husband attempts suicide after scam - video

[snoop1130]

 

A cheating Thai husband tried to end his life by leaping from a pedestrian bridge on Pattanakarn Road in Bangkok after his online affairs took a dramatic turn. Ironically, he was scammed out of less than 1,000 baht by the very women he was cheating with.

 

A Facebook page shared a video of the man’s suicide attempt and a subsequent rescue mission. The cheating man’s identity was not disclosed, yesterday, August 28. Three to four rescuers were seen pulling the man’s arms, who was on teetering on the edge of the bridge outside the handrail, preparing to jump.

 

Another rescuer was on the road below and attempted to soothe the man, convincing him to abandon his suicide attempt.

 

“Calm down, calm down. Want a phone? Want to call anyone? Stop it, go back and talk to your wife.”

 

 

 

 

The rescue team successfully intervened and thwarted the man’s suicide attempt. He was then taken to Khlong Ton Police Station to rest before being allowed to return home.

 

A police officer later revealed the motive behind his attempted suicide to Channel 7, stating that the man had fallen victim to repeated online dating scams. Although he was married, he continued to flirt with women he met online.

 

One woman recently scammed him by asking him to transfer small amounts of money, between 50 and 100 baht each time. He lost less than 1,000 baht in total but felt disappointed and wanted to take legal action against the romance scammers.

 

However, the police could not proceed with his case because he had willingly given the money to these women. After learning that he could not do anything about the loss, the man decided to go to the bridge to commit suicide. Fortunately, his suicide attempt was thwarted.

He was just flirting with scammers online. Does that even count as cheating

Of course not! As the manly man you are, certain things are allowed just for you. How do you think about your wife doing such things.
