kunash Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 although not in answer to your post but related. my gf's friend uses a thai dating site, and has had emails from two different men. the emails are from ''engineers' in the uk, who it would seem are very successfull, but are looking for love. they send pictures, and everything appears to be normal. well, normal to a thai person reading them. i could tell after reading the first email from them, they are not who they seem. their emails are so sweet, everything a woman might like to hear. but the man never answers any questions and never goes on msn. they just copy and paste a pre written response and send that to the girl. i am not sure what they are after. money~? but if they are ''successfull'' in the uk how can they expect to get money from a thai girl. it is quite sad of the man - to raise the hopes of these girls.

Atmos Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) there was a report on a Thai new site yesterday warning of this type of email - the next step is the man contacts the recipient saying there is tax/VAT that needs to be paid before Customs will release his gift . . . and to transfer the money into an account . . . EDIT: there's a thread on this forum already running on the topic Phuket Customs warns of foreigners cheating Thai ladies Edited July 1, 2011 by Atmos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bifftastic Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 So, this person wants your friend to accept a parcel full of 'goodies' with something hidden away in the battery compartment? The English style of writing reads, to me, as if it's been written by a Nigerian person. What exactly is your friends relationship with this person? This has got 'scam' or 'smuggling' written all over it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ableguy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 A pal of my gf got something similar from a well known dating site, no names but initials TLL shortly after the message the package got held up in Malaya and she was asked to send 33000 baht to release it, the original was from a purported guy in the USA, it took me ages to convince her it was a scam as he had been communicating with her for 3 or 4 weeks, she actually tried to borrow the money to send , at first I thought Nigerian scam but it was a bit complex for them so I thought.

dean999 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I can tell you this is a scam. I'm in the British Royal Navy. Everything that happens to a sub or a ship will be in a newspaper within 24 hrs. I can tell you there has been no rescue missions of any subs or ships for some time. Plus if you read the email properly you will notice words that someone from the uk will very rarely use. Unless they are about 6 years old. Bit more beliveable if it was from an american. Don't mean to affend. Words i'm talking about are Daddy or high seas. Next thing he says he can't be contacted by email only phone. What year does he think it is. Obviously he will be on a big ship if he is going out to the high seas (as he puts it). Most ships have satellite communications. You can get tv and internet via this. Also used for calls. It would be pointless trying to contact him at sea on his mobile. If you can't sea land you will not get signal. Sometimes even if you can see land you will struggle to make a call. I should know, the amount of times i have tried to make a call when i can see land but will not connect. You feel like throwing your phone over the side. That email has been edited by someone who's not from a british speaking place. He says," i have forwarded you informations to them." Plus who uses the word erupted in an email anyway. Unless they are talking about something erupted in there pants. Maybe its from Prince William and thats why its to do with national security.

petedk Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I personally know two Thai girls who have fallen for this type of scam. One actually borrowed about 50,000 baht and sent it to some bank account. I managed to stop the other one from sending anything. In another situation, which I am sure is a scam, another Thai girl I know who is a Muslim has met a young Nigerian man. She says he's polite, rich and very handsome. He wants to marry a Thai Muslim and start up a business. I don't know what his game is but I have warned her to stay clear of him. She is madly in love with him and won't listen to me. I just hope that she wakes up at some point before being hurt. Of course I could be wrong and he is a legitimate guy.

Both of 'em have quite poor English so she wanted to find out why he had to send her many valuable things plus some Pounds even though they have never seen each other. Then i try to get many ideas from this forum to back up my decision. She is in love with this guy. Full of hope !!!... This breaks her heart though. They are not poor and not wealthy somehow they have proper jobs and earn enough to look after themselves. They might be dreaming of luxurious lives somewhere. I dunno. Thank you all for your time making comments. I will tell her to keep away from this guy. I will try. This is not a very tricky one but as some forum fellows said some girls had actually lost money from this sort of scam. they were temporarily blind then. poor thing!!!! this Ni------n guy is still fishing.........

(Thai) Humm..... Temporarily blinded huh? You mean that thing that happens to so many unfortunate western ("hansum") men, the first time they get a look at a way-to-young Thai hottie, fresh from Isaan, who acts (while naked, and bouncing up and down on their pale/hairy body) as if she really likes them, resulting in the immediate release of ridiculous amounts of cash? THAT kind of temporary blindness?? , In terms of the fairness of Thai girls getting scammed by men (considering what kind of Thai usually uses the dating sites), I'd say it's all pretty much a wash.

Same with the Nigerian e-mails. I'd imagine that this sort of thing will keep going on because many will continue to fall for it. Sad, quite sad.
