webfact Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Video: Beware these dangerous con artists on the Thai roads Picture: Sanook BANGKOK: -- The court of Thai social media was in no doubt of a couple's guilt after they threatened two men in a car with a golf club on the expressway. There had been a collision and the men in the car had stopped and said that they must call the insurance man and the police. But the people in the other car - that had no license plate - were not having that. All they wanted was 5,000 baht on the spot. The driver refused to pay and suggested they drive to the next toll booth on the Bang Na - Pa-in expressway to sort it out. The two people in the other car chased them and threatened them with the putter. Then they drove off without going to the toll booth. People online said it was a clear case of a gang of fraudsters touring round deliberately driving into others to con people out of money. Commenters said they have older cars with no plates. The incident happened shortly after midday Monday and was posted on Facebook. Beware!

Get Real Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 That´s sad! Not even a good putter. Maybe should think about swinging for the balls instead of focusing on the almost always empty head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobz Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 You know why there's not a bunch of criminals driving cars with no license plates in Sweden? Oh, because there's police patrolling that actually do their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkidlad Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 No plates, huh? Who's job is it to enforce the laws again? Oh, yea - the police. I guess they were too busy allowing murderers sit uncuffed, applying make-up and chatting like free people. Priorities, people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabula Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 When people lose it all, they lose it. They do things they normally would not do, but they have no choice when they have nothing. As the economy retreats worldwide, we can expect more of this worldwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Real Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 1 hour ago, dotpoom said: Strange thing to say......are you saying that the people under attack were "empty heads"? No, not specifically! Just drawing a straight line through the evil malfunction and capacity of the population. Absulotely nothing to be hung up on. Easily explained. When one person swings the club, the chance of hurting something important higher than 4ft over the sea is about 0,1%. Don´t ask me about the source of the statistical facts. It just come from a long time of personal experience. With that said I also don´t try to say that i am swinging golf clubs at people. There are far more sophisticated ways of collecting such facts.

Stargeezr Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Two lowlifes scamming other motorists, shameful. With all the guns in Thailand these days, these two are lucky they did not meet up with a gun carrier. Boom Boom, not trial only justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most store it in a closet and accommodate special customers that ask for it but don't believe it's really dog urine. This is LOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggers Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 As already noted, putter is in fairly poor condition, likely they've had a s*** round of golf & lost their balls as well !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
