webfact Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Woman Orders iPhone, Gets Underwear InsteadBy Khaosod EnglishRoongnapa Champasri, 40, received a package of underpants in the mail instead of the two iPhones she ordered, 25 Sept 2014.PATHUM THANI — A woman in Pathum Thani province is seeking help from police after she received a package of underpants in the mail instead of the two iPhones she ordered.Roongnapa Champasri, 40, said she and her 19-year-old daughter ordered two iPhone 4S devices from a Facebook page that claimed to sell them for 3,000 baht a piece. But the package that arrived contained only underwear and a set of male pajamas, Ms. Roongnapa said.After realising she had been scammed, Ms. Roongnapa tried to call the seller but no one picked up. Meanwhile, the Facebook page had already disappeared.According to Ms. Roongnapa, the seller claimed to be a man named Abhisit Vejjapan, which is strangely similar to the name of former Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. The package appears to have been mailed from Udon Thani province.Full story: http://www.khaosodenglish.com/detail.php?newsid=1411632755 -- Khaosod English 2014-09-25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubl Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I thought people in Pathum Thani would never ever buy something from someone with such a name, be it iPhones or other things.

taony Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 At least she got something in the mail! Did the thief actually take the time to put fake company information on the package?

mike324 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 There is actually a forum dedicated to scamming scammers from Africa, or other parts of the world. If anyone is interested you can search 419eater.com, some of the threads are pretty funny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No honest person would think you could buy an iPhone for 3000 baht. They probably thought they were buying stolen goods. I have no sympathy with people that gullible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No honest person would think you could buy an iPhone for 3000 baht. They probably thought they were buying stolen goods. I have no sympathy with people that gullible. If that is the case then you should call them lying criminals and not gullible as this would imply they were duped by being too trusting (a common trait of children and elderly) - which actually goes along with what they stated they were in the article and as would be indicated by their going to the police. But you certainly are welcome to your opinion the mother and daughter cannot be honest people and knowingly trying to buy stolen goods.

I ordered underwear online and all I got were these damn iPhones and they are only 4S size. Not easy to cover oneself with just a 4S. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby nz Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Oh my God this is disgusting the worst news of the month by far, all the other stuff, murders, rape, crooked cops, ATM skimmers, corruption pales into insignificance against this. Heck if people cant trust facebook what can they trust in this world. There must be millions of previously trusting and now distraught addicted users weeping into their keyboards over this. Fortunately I'm not one of them so I can still smile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Sum Num Nah. Like the people who bought cheap beach front land on Phuket and are now being kicked off. They never got land papers but 30,000 baht was cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Beale Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Wonder why the seller sent something as opposed to nothing? Probably banking on her being so gullible she'd wash the skiddies and return them as wrongly supplied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
