Bull<deleted>. There are many immigrants living in Sweden who now have Swedish citizenship. As in many other countries, England, Germany, France, USA...

And in England's case, many more entering daily.

Yet a piece of paper still doesn't turn an Ahmet into a Sven or a John into a Somchai.

Take note.  It's sadly not uncommon for Thai police to side with a Thai against a foreigner, even when the Thai is the one who broke the law and the foreigner is the victim.

Thai cops were probably laughing at him in the back office.

I stand to be corrected...

Under Thai law a cuckolded husband can take the perp to court for compensation?

That law has been revoked, at the moment it's not an offence.

 

WARNING

I've had to remove more off topic posts, if you want to discuss camping (or whatever) in the USA, start your own topic, if you continue to try and drag this thread off topic your posting rights will be removed. This thread is about a Swede named Ahmet, scammed in Thailand.

To be honest, all joking aside, if he gets a good lawyer, he can take her to criminal court for Fraud.  Providing he saved all his receipts and text messages between him and the "wife".  Then put together a timeline and present evidence and then she and her husband will have some explanation to do in criminal court.

 

Chapter 3: Offence of Cheating and Fraud

Section 341. Fraud

 

Whoever dishonestly deceives a person with the assertion of a falsehood or the concealment of the facts which should be revealed, and, by such deception, obtains a property from the person so deceived or a third person, or causes the person so deceived or a third person to execute, revoke or destroy a document of right, is said to commit the offence of cheating and fraud, and shall be punished with imprisonment not exceeding three years or fined not exceeding six thousand Baht, or both.

Hard to be sympathetic for a guy who is that....let me be kind, unsophisticated.  At least she was an actual woman and not some Nigerian guy.

Getting married to a Thai sounds like an expensive way to get a visa

for a lovesick Swede.  I always heard they were hot then I met a bunch of Swedish au-pairs

in US. Overweight, smoking, not very demure

Because he's in love. You wouldn't understand.

 

 

 

Nope. You don't fall in love with an "entity" you met online and have never seen in person. You have no idea who she is, or even if she exists! 

 

He may have been in love with the idea of being in love. But, he was not in love with the online figment.

and their punishment will be 6,000 baht for fraud by deception of hundreds of thousands of baht   

 

 

[spidermike007]

Alot of guys fall in love with the idea of being in love. And they devote their heart to a woman who is undeserving. So, the best course of action, if to take you time to get to know her. Time allows clarity. If it is good it will only get better. If there are problems (such as the ones you are describing), they will manifest themselves over time. This is why you do not allow yourself to get emotionally invested, until you know who she is.

 

That takes a year, or two, or longer. And that is actual time spent together, not time since you met her online!!

 

If she shows you she is not worthy of your affection, and attention, you walk away. Man up. Pay tribute to your gender. Show yourself some self respect. Do not allow yourself to be abused, and treated like a street dog. 

 

Darwin was right. The theory of natural selection, means we all have to exhibit certain survival skills, to thrive in this world. Self protection is just one of those skills. Some have it, some do not. Those who do not are prey for the darker spirits who live like vampires, feeding on the misfortune of others.

They just need to get the word out, Thailand is the Land of Scams (LOS).

.... "Ahmet met the woman through a dating app in June and soon believed he had found true love. By late July, she had convinced him to send money'"

 

    

i knew a young woman who tried and tried to get a foreigner to send her tickets to go abroad. She would do anything sexual he asked in camera but refused to send her a baht. Years she tried this. I asked her why she still believed he would send her any ticket after several years chatting him online. Her reply was she believed he would because he kept promising her this. My point is, there are many men who believe the lies a thai woman says thinking he will will have a young pretty wife that he met online once he does as she asks like sending them money to help them until he arrives. . Hopefuls i call them. Just as there are many Thai woman doing the exact same thing using any means online to get them with a foreigner that would be willing to take them out of the country. I think it is pathetic really. Internet has its fair share of desperation.

Love works in mysterious ways.

But, that is not love. Not even remotely. It was just an expert in deception, who is a scam artist, and a lowlife, preying on a very vulnerable, rather pathetic man.

If you use dating sites in Thailand be sure and take them woman out for a good time then cut them lose. You are interested in what is between their legs and they are interested in what is in your wallet. Buyer beware.

I been scammed for 350000 baht of 4 thai women, all want me to help But for family, hospital or children to study.......But there is no help to get against thai law, even money collectors are not interested

He should of placed a brown envelope on the desk of the police officer whist making his complaint it works wonders 

[Ebumbu]

He got away reasonably cheap, actually. But wiring her money before meeting and greeting is just silly. I spent 10 days with my honey before returning to my country. After returning, I put her through school, rented her house, and paid for her rental car. When I look at emails from the time, I cringe. "I will always be there for you. You are my soul mate." I think nearly everyone goes through this at least once. Fool me once.

That’s California.   This is life under Progressive rule. 

A bit like the white man's settlement a few years ago - except that that involved murder, rape, expropriation and genocide. So, what is your problem, really?
