donniereadit Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Once more, don't get involved financially with anyone in Thailand or any other poor country. If you have no choice cut your losses and go home until you are solid again. Edited November 26, 2013 by donniereadit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSpade Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Nope because the chances of me giving money to a farang or anyone else out here are slim to none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWorldwide Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Nope because the chances of me giving money to a farang or anyone else out here are slim to none. By my count, the chances of you having any money are slim to none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldragon Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Have you tried talking to a police officer? I'm told they can be very good at retrieving small claims provided you're willing to share some of it wth them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willyumiii Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Filming Pinoys huh? Is this a legitimate business in Thailand? You know what I am asking, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Yes, I've been scammed, it was a wirthwhile if costly lesson. A local farang, running a struggling restaurant at the time, who had been in the area for twenty years with a series of businesses, borrowed some money to help obtain his annual visa-extension. A series of excuses followed, for not making any attempt to repay, his wife was apparently gambling & then left him, his daughter overseas was going to help him repay his debts, and so on. I gradually discovered that I wasn't the only one who'd lost-out. Eventually he had a stroke, karma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimithewoof Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Yes - Chiang Mai, probably same dodgy expat so-called FA now living elsewhere, total, lying mis-selling to get the highest commission, made worse over 7 years by the the appalling non-services of a large BKK financial advisory firm also earning from the fund. Lost much more than I could afford to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berkshire Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Yep .......... About 20 expat residents have been screwed over in CM. Our pension/trust/investment funds were raided by a dodgy expat IFA. We lost about 2-4 million baht each, some more. (Total losses in the 100 million baht range) He has left the country, but his dodgy expat employee is still trying for more money. Wow, that's not small change. How did this guy manage to get 20 of you to invest that much? Must be a real smooth con artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has also been writing wills in CM, quite a lot, doesn't register them, god knows how many Thai wives will be cheated. I'm hoping the wills won't be scammed, but if you made one out using a company in CM, watch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoeboat Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Turns out she's also abandoned another guy who was depending on her for client referrals - and this without good reason. She also owes 10k to one of her Fillipina staff. A friend of hers whom I only met once told me that she's a strange one, though to me it seems she's simply a pudgy female Hitler on a power trip with people skills in minus figures. All academia and next to know experience in how to treat people in business. Can I name and shame her? Mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All academia and next to know experience in how to treat people in business. Can I name and shame her? Mods? Atleast say the company name Shoeboat. My wife is looking at getting some cosmetic surgery done next time we are in Thailand. I Would hate her to use a business run by a woman like this.
