Katipo Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Many of the big foreign owned bars and restaurants countrywide, as well as other businesses are built on money from these 'boiler room' scam call centers. You have them to thank for the current hassle of getting a visa, as it was directly a result of their criminal actions and specifically these types of crimes that the Thais tightened the regulations on foreigners living and working here. Quite right. A few bars in Sukumvit Soi 11, the GoGo areas, as well as certain Irish Pubs, etc etc. The network seems to be expanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3SoiDogNight Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 A Brit, Dutchman and a Filipino is usually how a good joke starts off. Glad these crooks were busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locationthailand Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 On past performance by the Thai 'legal' system, when the tea money hits, they get a 2,000 Baht fine for working without a permit and deported. The Thai guys? No idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiebebe Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Buy one get 3 free deals on Stock purchases may be a "red flag". Human greed keeps these scams alive. Stop the demand end the supply. I don't think you can stop the demand; everyone wants more attractive returns on their savings and these boiler room scams are constantly changing. The latest one I read of was selling investments in rare-earth elements. Most people are suckered thinking that because they are essential to manufacturing investing in them must be a sure bet and wouldn't even know how much, say, Terbium costs, let alone whether or not it can be traded.

JetsetBkk Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Two Brits, a Dutchman, a Filipino and two Thais walk into a bar ..... And it isn't a joke. What is a joke is that anyone falls for these scams? Are there that many gullible idiots out there? But.. but... my Gazprom shares? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonclark Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 less of the criminal foreigner around the better is. good job by the police. ...the better is........? What? You're missing a word But grammatical construction aside - nice bit of trolling, which already has the fish biting. But you're right the less illegal Thai / Chinese criminals in the UK the better - same principle right? I very much doubt that the poster is Chinese, possibly Thai, but more likely to be a troll what it has to do with China?anyway - i doubt that you are a toad. And i doubt you can fight.

laislica Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Well.... if there would be more normal chances to get a decent job, this might not be happening. If you would settle with 10k/20k a month, the Thai Law won't let you. Any company need to pay a lot for you and need to have at least 4 Thai on the payrole..... so.... what's left, if you try to provide your loved ones? I see farang guys robbing a bank, do a stickup and so on. IF they really after the BIG BUCKS.... well.... you better go home. Crime does not pay. Good job by the police. ^^ Crime does not pay. ????????????? Oh, is that so? So I guess you are not a big saver in a bank in Cypress then? Crime pays but only for the BIG boys. Now and again, they have to catch and severly punish a few of the small fry to give Joe Public the Illusion that crime doesn't pay. Sheesh! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a99az Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 less of the criminal foreigner around the better is. good job by the police. Personally, less criminals full stop would be better. The sad thing is, that these scams often have tacit approval from BIB, so the real big fish are never caught. These are just a bit of the regular sacrificial offering. of course every arrest of criminal foreigners happens because the police is so corrupt.what a nonsense. You might also say: Of course every arrest of foreign criminals happens because the police are so corrupt. What nonsense! Another TEFEL teacher.

paully Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Should I choose to be a crook I think I would not have chosen Thailand... but 2 Brits...worth a Dutchman coming from a country with 3 stars jails... Criminals have no brain anymore They never think they'll get caught so the star rating of the local jail is their last concern.

stoli Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Oh dämn. Does that mean my half million Gazprom shares aren't kosher? Don't be silly. That stock is still good as gold, and should double this year. I know where you can get another half million shares if you are interested. Don't wait. Buy before they are gone.
