It has been call to our attention that there is a way to recover the money paid for the fake Discount Card in Pattaya sold by the PattayaLiveCam fraud scheme.

The Discount Cards are sold to be valid for up to 10 years. Since you have not received the claimed services, and you will not receive it, you are entitled to ask refund for the moneys paid.

Just call your Credit Card company and state the issue (The charge was credited to "Asia Franchise Association Co., Ltd" in Pattaya).

Your Credit Card company will refund you the money and it will charge it back to the scam.

This applies to all transactions, not just this one - make sure you do not cancel the order, because then it is out of the credit card companies hands.

I never got one but if anyone is up for teaching the rip-off geezer a lesson....

If you do this - he'll get a 'chargeback' on his credit card merchant account, plus he'll be charged extra by his credit card company.

So - if lots of people buy this discount card & then claim the cash back of their credit card - it'll help to put this guy out of business.

Note that some peope fraud with the PattayaLiveCam discount scam have received a paper from Peter Geister, the author of the scam, offering to pay the money back against the sign on a declaration that "They have never been members or affiliated to PattayaLiveCam".

The scam wants to ensure that people do not make the complain to the Bank, giving the money back to his victims but at the same time making useless arrangements to escape liability.

His Hong Kong office has no relation with his Discount Card scam but with his Franchise scam.

The story he tells is that his Thailand Tip Top office was sold to a Chinesse company, and he present them as the actual owners of the business. He present himself as an employee of this chinesse company, the Manager of the Franchise Division in Thailand (as he call it) .

The objective is to make the Franchisee (all westerners) to make the payments to his Hong Kong account to he avoid taxes in Thailand. He only receives a called "reservation fee" in thailand, which is 10% of what he charges.

His Hong Kon office, phone, addresses, names of the managing directors, are all false. Its is only a comoany name and a Bank Account, very easy to make in Hig Kong. Peter Geister answer himself all the e-mails; suppossdely sent from the fake managing directors of the Hong Kong Head Office (as he call it); here in his office in Pattaya.

Once the scam this discovered in Thailand, and the victim realises that the business is totaly unviable, there is no way that he can get is money back.

The Thai Tax department has been adviced of this. We cannot comment on its current actions.

The Bank where the Merchant was registered is Siam Commercial Bank, Pattaya.

See the website http://www.pattayascam.com, it has a sample letter.
