rkidlad Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Another way of looking at it is "People lose money through greed" There are only so many times you can have sympathy for people in these situations. It's really another form of dumb ass gambling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never see any arrests made though. Thai women give men what they want, the fantasy of a girl half their age and that of love: they deliver on this but if you get sucked in further and start making donations that's your problem. These Nigerians are obtaining advantage by deception, totally different IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdgbb Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Thailand what about all the lies and deception that Thais practice on us westerners i dont seem to recall to many arrests. That could be something to do with there not being any reports to the police about "all the lies and deception that Thais practice on us westerners". If you've been the victim of deception by Thais you would have reported it, yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amrishtony Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Well well well, just wondering what the sweet talk was about? Mr. Benny must open a "sweet talk leaning centre". Edited July 26, 2016 by amrishtony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never see any arrests made though. That's because there are no reports about Thai women illegally defrauding people. Giving money voluntarily to your wife or girlfriend doesn't count as being defrauded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freebyrd Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 How do they get into the country? It's quite obvious they haven't been hired as the CEO of a blue chip company, so why let them in when more often than not they are bringing grief with them?

gandalf12 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 It is all based on greed. Just the same are the game shows on TV. People always think they are clever and that they will get something for nothing, which of course they wont. As the say "There is no such ting as a free meal".

spidermike007 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I am approached online nearly every day, with offers of between 7 million and 100 million dollars. Once I replied, just to play along. The scam was that they wanted me to cover the courier fee, to have the check sent overnight mail. The courier fee was $235, and had to be sent Western Union. Told them the jig was up. People do stupid things all the time. Plenty of foreigners get fleeced by Thai woman, with every scam under the sun. So a few Thai women get fleeced by the Nigerian men. Can't say my heart is bleeding. The best part is this: Shortly after his arrest a man called Patrick Ebguche, 31, also a Nigerian national appeared at the station. He told police that the money in the carrier bag belonged to someone else and was needed to "help a family who were facing danger in Nigeria". He said that he had contacted Benson to get a Thai bank account set up. Imagine the look on the cops faces when this fool shows up at the police station? I need my money back. Please, we worked really hard for it. You have no idea how many women we had to fleece for that money. I told my friend it was a bad idea to carry it all around in a shopping bag. He just does not listen to me. Please, just give us the money back, and let us go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
