sniffdog Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Stolen? Like in a bank robbery? I thought all money was provided voluntarily. Might be the same group who targeted my ex gf who went to the airport to meet her suitor but instead came home empty handed. Got a text in the morning that he was arrested in jail in Malaysia because he had too much money in his possession. If she could be so nice to transfer 20,000 baht. Their facebook acccount was setup as it was from an Englishman wanting to open a hotel in Thailand.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She did send it, right?No. I told her about a possible scheme but she still left for the airport. After coming back she realized she was duped with a confirmation in the form of an email in the morning.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is truly amazing how many farangs buy prostitutes houses etc in this country. I have never heard of people buying a hooker a house back in Oz. But more of my mates have lost a lot more money to non hooker wives in australia. These nigerians are rampant. Three girls i know have been approached by these guys. The first one i spoke to on the phone, he was claiming to be from scotland, but couldnt pull off a scottish accent .i had some fun withhim though. I promised we were sending the money. Then the girl called the cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsuptome Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I do wonder how the masses of Nigerian drug dealers and prostitutes on lower Sukhumvit go unchecked. There are more of them every year. There was a temporary purge earlier this year but there are more of them than ever now. It's not as if the BIB are opposed to racial profiling, or sticklers for due process. I'm sure they could end this if they wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubby johnson Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 The group posed as a white engineer that wanted to marry a Thai woman. The name on his account was “Bush Bush” and used a fake photo. Seriously, can't negroes from the bush be more creative in their choice of pseudonyms?

I don't want to be racist if they are not practicing racism against me, but why it is so whenever someone says Nigeria the word recalls cheating, scam, and monkey business. Otherwise, there are some countries exporting teachers with fake diplomas to Thailand 55555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really think that romance comes without a price. As I look back each romantic encounter had a cost both financial and mental. If I had not fallen in love so many times over the years I would now be a millionaire but then what does a million bucks buy you anymore?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live dangerously buy a lottery ticket. They come close to a million after government taxes. They get you coming and going thats why a million is hard to achieve. Live a Christian life style no drinking or smoking or wild wild women and you will be amaze how fast it accumulates. Just don't join one of those of the wall religions where you must divulge all your worldly goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
