tuonsai Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I lost tens of thousands of USD to a Hungarian con artist couple who lived in Pattaya, won't post their names here since my last post got deleted. The guy was into antiques and helping animals, together with his girlfriend, very short hair also into helping stray animals. If you have info or were also conned by this couple please PM. They are currently in Hungary and I intend to take legal action. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonseeker Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Were these Romas? Possibly living / active in Sweden? Possibly part-time in Pattaya during winter-time? Not g.f. but wife & husband team? MS> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I met them in Hungary, invested money with them and they ran off to Thailand with my money and without my permission around 2005. They lived in Pattaya for many years, always promising to repay me and paying small amounts. We signed a contract where they gave their Mercedes benz as collateral, however they ended up selling that instead of giving it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KittenKong Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 ^^^ There are some decent people here: I'm one and I know a few others, but that said the place does seem to attract a lot of losers and scammers of all skin colours and nationalities. So the odds of meeting a turd here are quite high, and probably higher than in some other places. I certainly would not be inclined to start a business venture with anyone I met here or who lives here, nor would I lend any money to anyone here (unless I didn't care about getting it back).

I don't have to, there's plenty of good news stories if you'd bothered to look. There's also thousands of normal people who live in Pattaya, with families. To label everyone who lives in Pattaya as a degenerate is just ridiculous. I've lived here for over 6 years, never had a break-in (neither have any neighbours) and never been mugged or had any trouble of any kind. You obviously don't live here, probably never been here, yet you feel that you know enough to pass judgement. I suggest you broaden your mind.

balo Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 (edited) I think the point he made was that there are more scammers living in Pattaya than compared to lets say Chiang Mai. In percentage , it doesnt mean that all of us are scumbags , just maybe 10 times more of a chance to find "a bad guy" living in a city like Pattaya .

You didn't say, have you ever been to Pattaya? I doubt it. You need to get out more, and experience the real world.

Not yet, it's a very long process in Hungary. I'm looking for other people they might have also conned, to provide testimony, etc. Similar con artist did get put in jail but the legal process takes years.

PattayaBoy Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 if they live in Hungary, it will be very difficult to take legal action, and do you even got any proves you lost money, recipes or something i bet nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi100 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 There's a Hungarian fellow who regularly posts on a couple of Pattaya forums who goes by the name of Gabor. He is well known in certain circles and could possibly assist you in your quest for justice. If they're Hungarian it's likely he'll know 'em as he's been a regular in Pattaya for years.
