DSI urged to act against foreign scammers who prey on Thai women

BANGKOK: -- Three women Friday officially called on the Department of Special Investigation to take action against predators who prey on Thai women via social media.

Ranyaporn Wichienchotewat, the founder of the Thai Anti Scam community Facebook page, said victims who had come to her had lost tens of thousand of baht each. One was duped out of Bt6 million.

Ranyaporn created the community page to warn Thai women about the risks of running into scammers on social media or dating websites.

She was once lured into transferring Bt20,000 to a foreign man after chatting to him online for about a month.

Get real!

Hahaha! I like these guys!

It's a well-known fact that scamming is a form of employment protected by the labour office in Thailand. Foreigners cannot get a work permit to do that.

But seriously, It's pretty clear that the Thai women who are giving foreigners money over the internet aren't doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. They expect an unrealistic rate of return on it, probably in the form of a rich foreign husband. Perhaps the DSI should focus on teaching them not to be so stupid and greedy.

'satire' no. 'clickbait' yes. Wasn't this, er, topic, being promulgated not a month since?

This is scary shit-

What they are really saying is we can make accusations against you -

And claim you tried to scam a Thai woman when you land in Thailand -

Which in itself is an indication of how far fetched and dishonest these guys are.

Held and fined and vanquished …..

Sinking very low (if so)

The odds of a Thai woman sending a westerner man money are about the same as ISIS changing into pink leotards and saying sorry to everyone.

And what about Thai women scammers who pray upon foreign men???

At least those farrangs getting some sucker action are getting something back for their outlay. It`s the farrangs who pay and don`t even get as much as a cuddle I worry about.
