technologybytes Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 As the account information is from France there will have been no loss to Thailand banks, so my guess is that after a short stay in prison he will be deported. It's more than likely that he's just one of a large number of foot soldiers exploiting the 1970's technology that is still adopted by Thailand ATM's.

Lukecan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Why don't they try these scams in Cambodia? Much harder to get caught, even if you're caught you can easily pay off the cops. I once made a 3000$ cash withdrawal from an ATM in Nagaworld casino with my card, can't a scammer do the same with skimmed cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABloke Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) To get 40 million from atms he would need to make 2000 withdrawals not 10 as stated. Edited February 10, 2015 by SABloke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lupatria Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The good news is: it looks like most European countries don't fall for these scum bag scammers and cheaters from Albania, Bulgaria, and Romania anymore. Now they come here because Nigeria is a too tough turf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT555 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Give me 10 minutes with these guys.........The penalty has to be more harsh. As I always either go inside the bank or a highly policed and traffic ATM.......And I would walk 1 hour just to be at a safe ATM branch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is it all then if they only found 4000 euro dollars [whatever they are] and 5000 baht in his room? I was thinking that myself. How did they calculate the total he has stolen, did he keep a ledger ? Was he keeping a mental tally ? And yes where is all that money now ? That's 1.6 million Australian dollars. That is a sizable lump of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
