marcofunny Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) They're buying into a fantasy. Sometimes a bit of phone sex. cant they just say to them I will give you hand to hand (cash) and no other way and keep insisting on that, besides Thailand has affordable P4P services then why even bother , I m starting this topic because I have a dude who got scammed 5K from some Thai lady online ??

marcofunny Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 (edited) Not everyone wants to come to Thailand. then travel elsewhere to some cheap P4P destination, I ve worked as a designer for some dating website and the number of idiots losing money to scammers are amazing indeed, we had a huge sign warning them "don't send any penny to any stranger" but that did not stop it.

Expattaff1308 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Don't blame the scammers, they are just chancing their arm, happens all over the world.

rocketboybkk Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 The sender, probably male is trying to secure a long distance gf who will show him on cam 'what she's got' and in return he will send 'take care' money Naive to say the least but some people are lonely &/or desperate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scorecard Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Me love you long time or you just won $1 million !!! It goes both ways. A Thai lady in my village (very big upscale house, 2 expensive cars) has had 3 farang husbands, all have died within a couple of years of marrying this woman, she's now about 65 years old, keeps herself looking a bit younger, very over-confident. A few months back she met a European man, same age, on a dating site. He came quickly to Thailand and moved in. A few months later they married and went together to Europe to live. She returned within 2 weeks, no hesitation to tell her neighbors when they got to Europe he demanded that she pay off his mortgage and buy him an expensive car. What's the real story? Who knows.

mgjackson69 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Every monetary exchange online is not a "scam".If some fool pays a lady for some "show on cam", that is not a scam.The rich Thai lady who married a farang and went to Europe, where the man demanded that she pay off his mortgage and buy him an expensive car....that is not a scam.

Suradit69 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I ve never understood the mindset of some naive people who sends money to strangers online Every time I buy (or sell) something on eBay or buy things from places like Lazada or put in online auction bids at one of two businesses in Bangkok, etc. I'm sending money (or will do) to strangers online. Presumably you're talking about strangers who offer some sort of sexual fantasy rather than strangers in general. I guess some people are desperate. I could never understand how people could respond to emails about the Nigerian lottery or from the widow of some deposed head of state who wants help shifting millions of dollars. Apparently some did respond. Apparently, based on some of the posts on TV, a lot of people come to Thailand and "hook up" with the first woman (or man) with a pulse and then remain in Thailand on overstay where their long-suffering families back in Farang Land refuse to bail them out. As you said, some people are naive. It's fun discussing things naive people do because then we can feel better about ourselves and probably forget some of the monumentally stupid things we've done at one time or another. Some people are sheep and some people are sheep shearers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
