So why not show a picture of the fraudster rather than the victims?

Some people are just plain stupid !!

When you borrow money from a bank, you dont give the bank employee money, they give you money.

Maybe in Thailand it is different, you know Thainess.

Just a habit inculcated since young, through buying the local lotteries...

Unless you are a cop, a high ranking official, or a drug dealer, there is no such thing as easy money. But the north eastern countryside is hardly known as an area populated with people enjoying common sense.

I foresee at LOT more complaints coming to light.......
