Two more scams that happen around grand palace.

1. grand-palace-is-shut-scam - guy tells you it is closed and talks you into going other place in tuk tuk. All scam from that point on.

2. Bird feeding scam - guy hands you a bag of bird seed and throws some seeds on the ground. He wants you to do same. After you do and he pushes a few more small bags on to you he then says 100 Baht each.

The ultimate and number1 scam is (and remains):

- Thai lady marrying Farang (wearing rose colored glasses) with the sole intent of milking him financially.

This must be the number 1 scam and ongoing. The financial damage done to Farangs by this scam dwarfs any damage done by petty Jet-Ski-scams, etc etc....

Perfectly legal and Thai-Legislation supports this scam.

Cheers.

And of course this only ever happens in Thailand, Get real Swissie ? cheesy.gif

My neighbor (the family) just got done with the VAT scam, something like 4 billion Baht . Still walking around if nothing has happened.

4000000000 Thai Baht equals
128060000.000 US Dollar

Yep, 4 billion. It's front page news, Weds Bangkok Post ALMO denies leak to failed raid of their assets seizure operation. This was after ALMO failed to find 300 million in gold in their safety deposit box .

The family has disappeared after emptying their business and fancy cars and only the father is walking around the soi as he did before it happened . For the past few day's they have been unloading furniture and several large flat screens computers, art and other items into the house, wonder where they came from.

I've been searching for that story for hours, but can't find anything. A link or some more info would be appreciated.

The scam of tourists coming to Thailand and pretending to be very wealthy people. They spend big, impressing Thai ladies by throwing money around on them and their families. The tourist may keep this scam going weeks/months or years. When the tourist snares his prize of either a longterm girlfriend or wife. He then decides it is time to stop pretending to be wealthy. He cuts back drastically and dramatically on his spending and generosity. This leaves the Thai lady being suckered into a relationship based on deception and untruth, which leads to terrible disillusionment on her part in her trust for her scamming bf/husband.

what a load of bull... get real .where are you living . in noddyland

You're one of them then

I'd like to know why those that lose money in scams consider themselves to be victims, when they are (in the majority of cases) just victims of their own stupidity.

Then they are indeed victims of their own stupidity, are they not?

So the guy wakes up and gets a dose of reality. Get real.
