scam scum

[mickeymouse22]

here is a photo of one the latest. using disability to get money from others. this POS is/was working mcdonalds at big tesco in phuket town today. the only lower scum i can think of is pedophiles. it only adds to those who are truly disabled and can not get any help. if i only could have taken the photo of him so you could see his sorry arse face when i asked him in sign language ( know a little) what his name was. he could not exit fastest enough.

i was unable to get a photo of the little card and toy you get for 100 baht. if someone has it. please add.

and if someone may have a freind with police kindly submit his photo to them. or even immigration

These foreign beggars seem to be multiplying in Phuket:

Foreigners caught on camera posing as deaf people for Phuket donations

Deaf Russian Scammers in Kata

It appears to be good money:

Thai couple poses asblind beggars earn over bt100000 a month

Here is the woman, her toy, and card from the Kata video above.

and if someone may have a freind with police kindly submit his photo to them. or even immigration

That is pointless. The only person than can do anything about it is you, because you are the victim. And you don't have to have a friend in the police to report a crime. Call 191 or 1155 if you want to do something about it.

sneak up behind them and blow one of those whistles right in their ear

I fail to see how it is a scam as you can simply refuse their offer ? or am I missing something here.

I used to smile watching the " Blind " karaoke singer on the beach stepping over the ropes holding the long tails in place.

By pretending to have a disability they cause people to be suspicious and doubtful of all cases.

So the genuinely disabled, who don't have any other options, will be unable to survive.

Scammers destroy human trust and empathy and make the world a worse place for everyone. As the OP says, they are scum.

Hope the cops round them up and send them back to their own stinking country....after a Month in a Thai Jail of course.

How long these people have been operating without accidentally going to a place with BIB presence?

Stuck to the bottom of my shoe, last time I seen him

[surangw]

I wonder what the police's cut is to let them work the streets ?

[manly100]

So this is the new "working holiday"? I had a French? guy sweeping the side walk by my hotel and he ask for some money for all the effort he was putting in. After ignoring him he let me have every expletive he could think up. Made me happy I ignored him. I've now just stuck to helping out at the local school where I hope to get meaningful results.

Bib won't care unless they have to. Same as they don't care if you overtake them without a helmet on your motorbike.

If the police took even 1% of the "cuts" Thai Visa bashers fantasize about they could all retire now.

The thread is about farang who pretend to be disabled in order to prey on generous people (and reduce what genuinely disabled people might receive). It is not about Thai Visa posters who pretend to know what the police do and try to turn every thread into some brainless Thai bash.

At least they are doing something productive, better than sat in a bar supporting the local entertainment girls......either that or they could try timeshare

The scary part of this video is the farang lady walking by with toilet paper up her a$$!

[peterb17]

Think this may be the same guy going around the buffet restaurants ( if you can call them that ) in Pattaya- left a key ring and card- never said a word just dumped them on your table. Quite a few people bought them- not bad something that probably cost 10 baht selling for 100.

Don't mind giving a bit to locals- pushing themselves around with limbs missing- but sorry this is a total scam.

I think the beggar girl could find a higher paying occupation. I know I would employ her for a few hours in any case. ha ha

You are missing the fact that although some people will walk away, others who 'donate' are scammed.

It's called 'altruism'.

I had the same experience at a shopping mall in Bang Na. Overweight farang comes up to me in McD and asks for a couple of hundred baht as he had lost his money blah blah.

Upon refusal, an amazing vocabulary, clearly appropriate to his intellectual capacity.

Loser.

Your take on "productive" still puzzles me. Your holier than thou take on sitting in a bar saddens me.

quote from the OP post

"the only lower scum i can think of is pedophiles"

I think bankers ,politicians and people who con large amounts of money from vulnerable old ladies come above some poor sod who desperately wants to stay in Thailand so is lowering himself to sponge 50/100 baht from an unsuspecting tourist.......I suspect the OP has never himself been on hard times and probably has had a life of middle class priviledge where he can look down from his ivory tower with disdain

Well you picked an appropriate username I suppose.

Yes, but unfortunately she has high standards.....

If you misrepresent yourself to get donations you are scamming.

Probably don't have work permits either.

[Jonmarleesco]

I agree with your sentiments but you really think they should rank lower down the ladder than the Thais begging with - and even sending out - their children, some hardly toddlers, more often than not to keep the old man in fags, booze and stake money? I doubt if these kids even merit a mention on any political party's policy platform; politicians prefer to pretend the problem doesn't exist, leaving it to charitable organisations, often led by a foreign priest, to offer help and shelter.

[belg]

why would anyone handout money to a farang begger, that job is for thai only ....

loooooooooooooooool

[fishbrando]

if i only could have taken the photo of him so you could see his sorry arse face when i asked him in sign language ( know a little) what his name was. he could not exit fastest enough.

This guy would like a word with him:

[Sam Gold]

As long as they stay in Phuket.

Whoa bud, don't you have this backwards? Pretending to be disabled and scamming money is productive while having a beer and enjoying entertainment girls is not.
