soalbundy Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 It's their own fault for paying bribes,resist as Prayut say's. Could this case possibly mean that they were used to paying bribes and didn't find it unusual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabhand Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Who writes the crap headlines? The text of the report centres on a single shop. What other shops were scammed? It might help to read the Pattaya One article before commenting. 'Six shops were scammed out of 50, 000 baht each by the same group of men. The men are still at large.'

Pattaya28 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 "Fake" is all around us. Seems to be part of the culture. So whether we have "Fake" bags, "Fake" designer shirts, "Fake" watches, or "Fake" officials, does it really matter ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soalbundy Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 So, they ended up paying a bribe to the wrong people, what to do now, call the police? yes but make sure they are real and then pay them some money to start working on the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balo Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 I don't understand why That staff(owner of the shops can be so stupid that thy pay 50k cash to some individuals without any form of credentials. Is this the standard here? As an owner I would refuse and call the police. What is the worst thing that could happen ? I'd rather bribe the police for arresting the fake officials than give them anything in the first place. Just stupidity , they can only blame themselves.

jaywalker Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 "Upon further investigation and reviewing CCTV footage, it was concluded that they were not legitimate government officials." If they'd been legitimate government officials then all would be well I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
