BANGKOK: -- It started with a knock on the window of her car. “You ran it over!” howled the motorcycle man in pain, pointing to his blood-soaked foot. The only thing that would make it feel better? The THB3,000 in cash he demanded she pay for his troubles.

Bangkok motorists have been warned of a con man on a motorcycle motorcyclist looking to profit from fake injury by shaking down female drivers for cash, which has come to attention after a number of accounts shared over social media.

He looks like a fine specimen of humanity. I guess his usual scams aren't working out so well. Methinks that if one of his victims offered to call ambulance/police for him, he would disappear quickly.

Crap foot? Well the scammer must have super eye-sight. Maybe my eyes are just old, yet who can see if it is a lady driving through those heavily tinted windows?

This guy has been pulling this scam since at least 2002.

He got me on the corner of Suk 23 around that time. No blood but a black rubber tire track over his left foot.

Ended up giving him 2K baht as i was in a hurry & traffic was piling up behind.

Same guy, but he looks a bit older now.

Perhaps he targets those that he can see, many cars don't have dark tints.

A car would crush his foot. If he can stand on it and go over to ask me for cash or my lady..I'd point to real injuries! (broken several bones!) and give him some real injuries!

A username "NoBrainer" and you give him 2000 Bt because you were in a hurry????

Surely it would be a no brainer to just ignore him. Anyone would know if they ran

over something with their wheel.
