DekDaeng Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Why the hell these criminals work always for a gang? If i would to commit such a crime, i would work alone. Like the two Russian girls in Jomtien? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bananafish Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Why the hell these criminals work always for a gang? If i would to commit such a crime, i would work alone. Easy. The people doing the dirty work are skint and can't afford the expensive skimming equipment, and are willing to do the dirty work for a flat payment. The people who own the skimming equipment know that if they get someone else to do the dirty work, they can somewhat insulate themselves from capture.

SouthernMan3 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 This picture is a fake. There are only 3 police in it, and not the normal dozen or so. A vast jump of conclusion....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvr181 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Definitely good that he was arrested; however, wouldn't the next logical step be to arrange a sting operation and have him meet with his "Romanian gang" associates and thereby arrest more of the people involved? I agree - not rocket science is it? I wonder about the commitment to reduce crime. Perhaps The General should be alerted to the "efficiency" of his police?

Sayonarax Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Six years in jail or 100,000 baht fine is far too light for this thieving scumbag. Money is nothing more than a number on a computer.. the only thief is the bank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be far too logical and make too much sense for the Thai police to do. Much easier to simply arrest the guy that they found and pose for a picture with him. The "Romanian gang" can then go on doing business the same as before with someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ginglee Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Nigel Farage's Thanks to the EU's free movement policy my home country has been invaded by East European criminals from Romania and Bulgaria Even in the sleepy part of the country from which I emanate shoplifting in groups of 4 or 5 has become endemic The problem is that no political party is ruthless on law and order. The country is just sleep walking into becoming a totally crime ridden hell hole trapped between militant Islamists and imported European felons The indigenous criminal fraternity are heartily fed up with all these aliens stealing their thunder Hopefully the authorities in Thailand will keep us safe from the same lawlessness but I have my doubts You can't write like this in Finland anymore or you are labeled inhuman racist and whatnot. Same in UK....Nigel Farage ( euro MP) was called racist for saying that he wouldn't want to live next door to a Romanian ! ...Back to this story...another sad case of a farang willing to do anything to stay in the 'village of love'. Zero sympathy for him, he deserves all he gets, I also hope they don't let him have KY ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phra Ek Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 What I found strange is why those people are chosing Thailand....In Europe and the US any ATM machines probably hold a lot more money than here to get in a single withdraw....May the Thailand's ATM be easier to skimm? Yes agreed, the ATM security must be more vulnerable becuase this is quite a frequently reported crime in Thailand. Either that or there isn't as much CCTV!?! Few ATM cards here have micro-chips?

BillChildress Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Agree completely! Somebody has to use at least a screwdriver and some time to install the scanner to the ATM. I know that by far the vast majority of ATM's in the U.S. have a camera focused on the ATM. More CCTV would surely help a lot!

Robert24 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 @umbanda: the reason for a high level of ATM fraud in Thailand is primarily that most banks not use Mikrochips in their ATM cards yet. (I think only Bankok bank does) So fraud is very easy. You copy the details from the magnetic stripe and either record the pin code through a camera or a fake keyboard and you are all set to empty bank accounts. Most European countries and other Asian countries have introduced Mikrochips a while back and have also implemented other physical deterrents at the ATM to minimise fraud.

RisingSun Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Stolen tens of millions of baht, fine 100,000 bht ?

ThailandGuy Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I always wonder how stupid people can be. For 15,000 baht risking a 6 years in jail verdict and 100.000 baht fine. Not even a million dollars is worth that risk. I also dont understand why people practice these kind of things anyway. Get a job and earn your money the right way. Keep your fingers from anybody elses money, property, possessions etc. They are all Sicko's and to me with 6 years he gets away with it cheap. They should increase those punishments and keep the scum of the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most western countries do not depend on old magnetic stripe technology as most Thailand ATM's do. Most often the card data is skimmed overseas and Thailand is used for withdrawals. Thailand is an ideal country for withdrawals, it has a lot of ATM machines and very little surveillance. You have to be a moron to get caught in Thailand, but of course these gangs use moronic individuals to do the front line work where the real criminals never get caught. If Thailand stopped using 1970's ATM technology there would be a lot less ATM fraud in Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pundi6446 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Like it said , "numerous ATM machines" I never use them at all anymore "NEVER" I've been scammed a couple times in the past, now I go directly into a bank, and do all my withdrawals on my ATM. The girl in the bank knows why I do, and she even says ATM machines are not safe. Just a word of advice ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
