They're out there, and getting smarter by the look of this.

What can we do....

And the interpreter turns out to be in fact a cheap Chinese copy.

Theres something very fishy about the amounts of money being quoted here to fix the broken car and the broken minivan. So some motorcyclists bumped the back of a minivan and he wants 200,000 to fix it? The broken car wants 300,000 to fix it but gets 220,000. Dont make me laugh on any of these amounts. Those of us who drive cars here know that even a serious accident ( I sadly had one a year ago) costs nowhere near that amount at the bodyshop.

Something very dodgy going on here, it looks as though the Thais whos vehicles they are are conning huge over the odds amounts out of unwitting gullible Chinese Tourists in partnership with this "fake interpreter", presumably car owner and fake interpreter then split the proceeds in some way. If so, well done again, yet another scam to add to the long list of others we know about here ?
