Sweet talking Nigerians conned Thai women, say police

[Franko666]

And I thought Thai women were the masters of deceit. Must stop going to dodgy bars I guess.

[carvets]

So by the accounts of some , all Thai women should be tarred with the same brush . Any Woman that is deceived by a professional scammer deserves it because some Thai girl somewhere sometime ripped off someone and so that goes toward squaring the ledger. Some of these women are groomed by professionals and they believe they are developing relationships which may be better than the ones they have previously been in. There are all kinds of scams going around and not all of them involve greed by the victims .

Throw these two scums to rot in Bangkok Hilton.

I hope his arrest does not delay the transfer of $24,000,000 dollars to my account, as he promised.

But have you forwarded your bank details as yet?

[Tchooptip]

So if a Thai does it to a foreigner TUFF LUCK. But they have Thai women trusting BLACK MEN? I don't think so. People love WHITE too much here. I just love the way all these BAD people rush to the police station to ASSIST. ha ha bloody ha.

I guess no one knew they were black, they certainly were not showing their own photos!

Thailand what about all the lies and deception that Thais practice on us westerners i dont seem to recall to many arrests.

Did you report to the Thai police, that Thais have lied and deceived you?

Or should the police, just go around and arrest random Thais, because Westerners don't like being lied to, and deceived?

How many times have you been dooped by Thais?

Was it bargirls, ladyboys, or???

He needs to deposit a few hundred U.S. dollars into their account first..

Then he gets his..

Just got an email this morning from Lagos and I told him thanks I received the 20 million USD already from Iraq but I have nothing heard back yet.

[nodomino]

Now, with their new found fame, they need to follow-up with a book! 'The Art of the Con' Why bother to con one or two at a time when it is VERY possible to con thousands simultaneously!

[LUSHGOAT]

Deport them there is enough of these scumbags in Thailand

[shirtless]

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?

How many times do you hear of women scamming men , its theft do you live in the real world. I know quite a few people still in litigation and yes they have reported it.

Greedy woman....These Nigerians are always

Running a scam. Guess she doesn't see the news.

[Mickmouse1]

Only greedy people get conned

[Rc2702]

The next part of the scam will be the women who come forward saying they were the victims. I doubt many real victims will come forward.

I am a very successful businessman.

If you send me money first I promise to send you expensive goods from abroad.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Thai women, as a whole, aren't the most sophisticated group of people I've ever met. My daughter-in-law's mom just got 'sweet talked' by a guy from the Thai south. Married the guy after knowing him for 2 weeks because his said he was going to sell his land in the south for 2 million baht and when he returned they would live happily ever after. Mom hocked her valuables including her car. The dude hung around for a couple of month. Now that she is out of money and her car has be repo'ed, he's gone. My daughter-in-law (who does have her head screwed on straight) and her grandparents were telling mom she was being conned from day one. What an idiot.

Con jobs come in all sort of sizes and colors. So do 'marks' unfortunately.

My Dad and granddad put it a little differently. The wisdom they handed down to me was simple:
"There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." Amen.

1.7 million baht is the "nett" sum.

Get my drift.

[Whyamiandwhatamidoinghere]

I say let them go and arrest the Thai lady for being greedy... Lol

[Rod Gold]

I have learned to discard any attempt from someone from an African country to contact me...

They seem to always want to send me money from a distant relative I never knew I had...

Scamming people appears not to be a crime in these countries...

While Thai women getting scammed gets a lot of attention...Thai women scamming foreigners is not news...wonder why?

[csabo]

I often wonder what living in Nigeria is like. Does everyone there just steal all day long?

[tomyumchai]

Isnt scamming people a job reserved for thai people only? I hope they had the correct work permits for their occupation.......

[Rough Rider]

Soon these Nigerians will be free and walk the streets of Thailand again. They are the best con artist in the world. The RTP is no match for them and even they will be conned to make them believe they are innocent. Why these Thai women not realizing that they are dealing with the worst criminals on earth goes beyond my mind. Equally blameless is greed, at least in the traditional sense. What matters instead is greed of a different sort: a deep need to believe in a version of the world where everything really is for the best. Like all good con men are exceptional judges of character, but even more important they are exceptional creators of drama, of the sort of narrative sweep that makes everything seem legitimate, even inevitable. People get caught up in a powerful story, they become blind to inconsistencies that seem glaring in retrospect. Most of them are just plain born to become conned in their lives

You'll be surprised, that not all people LOVE WHITE here too much here, there are always exceptions. Seen many Thai women dating chocolate man.

Yes, what else can they do? steal, rob or join the terrorist group, they have no choice.

Doesn't work like that. I know a couple of blokes who got mugged off by Thai women. Went to the police - nothing. In one of the cases, two police turned up and threatened to kill the westerner as it turned out the bitch had family in the police

I worked in Nigeria for 4 years. No you do get good Nigerians, but live is expensive. Crime in Nigeria is not that high for a country with 174 Million people. Most of the corruption comes with the stealing of oil. When you look at computer crimes and con artist they are the leaders in the world.

You have no idea what your talking about. Read my replies to the blog.

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Kind of surprised, the Nigerian guy didn't tell the Thai police that he needed the 1.7 million baht back in order to send home to care for his family's sick buffalo.

The Nigerians do not put their own photographs on the dating websites, I saw one recently that was a pic of USA government spokesman for Ronald Reagan. Very handsome flanked by two US flags.

A friend of my gf recently asked to borrow fifty thousand from us because this rich American was sending her diamonds and four hundred thousand in cash but it was held up in customs, she still believes we shafted her because we would not loan her the money.

I also years ago had a black guy contact me on a certain dating web site, with a picture of a very pretty nurse, I could tell by his use of English that he was African, and I strung him along for several weeks, he was getting very desperate to return to Thailand from nursing in Africa as his her life was in danger. I blew him away in the end to web site owners but guarantee he was on again the next day with a new photograph new line new story.

It's not only greed from the Thai lady perspective, it's lack of education and a sad lack of knowledge how the world really works, easy to hook an issan girl who left school at eleven years old.
