Thai Women Scammed For 3 Million Baht By German 'Lover'

BANGKOK — A German man has swindled over 3 million baht from Thai women who he fooled into marrying him and ordering non-existent iPhones from Germany, police say.

Bogdan Rejic was arrested earlier this week by Bangkok Metropolitan Police and charged with various counts of fraud.

Pol.Maj.Gen. Nopparat Sinma said yesterday that many Thai women complained to the police that Mr. Bogdaan flirted with them on a dating mobile phone app and claimed to be a German expat working for the state-owned petroleum company PTT.

The women began dating Mr. Rejik and some of them even married him, Pol.Maj.Gen. Nopparat said. According to Pol.Maj.Gen. Nopparat, Mr. Rejik later convinced them they could order shipments of iPhones at a low price from Germany to be sold for a profit in Thailand.

"Many people fell for it and transferred money to a bank account provided by Mr. Bogdaan, which is registered under the name of someone called Gez," Pol.Maj.Gen. Nopparat said. "But when it was time for the phone delivery, he would avoid [the women]. So the victims decided to file complaints."

Pol.Maj.Gen. Nopparat estimated that Mr. Rejik has collected over 3 million baht through this scheme. He did not say how many women filed complaints.

The police investigation revealed that Mr. Rejik arrived in Thailand in 2000 and has overstayed his visa ever since. Pol.Maj.Gen. Nopparat said the court issued an arrest warrant on the suspect in March and eventually arrested him in Bangkok's Prawet district this week.

Mr. Rejik has appeared in a number of movies as an extra actor, our correspondent said. His latest appearance was in the horror film "Hong Hoon" which premiered in cinema on 19 June.

1zgarz5.gif.pagespeed.ce.GJfs_tQOQ-.gif "Bogdan Rejic" isn't a German name. It is not a real German.

Sigh.......there are lots of born and bred Germans with Slavic sounding names. Or Dutch or French or Turkish names. Chances are the bloke only speaks German, plus broken English and broken Thai. As a previous poster suggested, his father might have emigrated to Germany before he was born, or maybe even his grandfather.

Here we go again.

It's probably a Serbian name, but let's just imagine his Serbian (Yugoslav) father may have moved to Germany after WWar II and met a nice little blond German fraulein and married her and little Bogdan was born in Munich.

I would say that makes him a German wouldn't you?

Germany has long been a haven for immigrants.

"Barack Obama", is that an American name?

Than little Bogdan would be little Klaus Rejic. Actually that is very similar to my heritage.

To compare with America is not suitable. An American name would be something like Eagles Eye, Red Feather.....All others are immigrants. European societies are much older. Yugoslavian, Hungarian, Czech, Polish, Russian integrate very well in Europe and after 1 Generation you don't know where they come from anymore. They usually forget about their former language in 1 generation.

He worked in film during his overstay....so the entertainment industry also hires illegal aliens?

Not one word about that and there will not be one word about that.....

It's another case where there is obvious elitism and a flouting of the law by the very same people who supported Suthep (the movies this con artist made are solid proof after all).

There is corruption, systemic and endemic, at every level of employed and elected Thai government, and in every department.
