By Coconuts Bangkok

ABOVE: A series of images purporting to show the same hurt-foot con man which has been widely shared on social media.

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.

One woman described to Bangkok Post how she was driving along traffic-jammed Petchaburi Road when it happened to her. The dude demanded the money to pay for medical costs associated with his smushed foot. [read more...]

A “fake-injury” scammer is targeting Bangkok motorists, particularly women, and extorting money from them. Motorists who have been scammed by the man are sharing their stories online, warning other motorists to be on the lookout for the con man.

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.

The coconuts editors need some English classes

He looks like RTP cop on suknspit.

My girlfriend would say "really" and really run over foot and face too.

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?

I think it's the way they drive, OMG did i say that.

What a disappointment! He's a Thai.

I thought this story was about Bigfoot the German dude.

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.

So what's the connection with Thai taxis?

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

They all drive like ladies ... on amphetamine

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!

What an imbecile..... his picture splattered all over........

Hope he will get a massive kick in the.....foot

Ohh, I thought it was that German guy with the large leg making the rounds again. Sorry, wrong con man.

If you said " Up yours " Would he leg it down the road after you . Plus only lady drivers , One day he might pick on a well piised off katoey

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.
