Big Joke takes down four Nigerian "Romance Scammers" - and 16 Thai associates. If the ratio is similar to the love scams, will he go after 28.000 Thai associates and beneficiaries? It may help to stock up the cops carpool with pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have a mai noi, she says she will kill me. Be very careful how you use this term. Most Issan girls say they will kill you if you have a mai noi but then another good Issan friend of mine told me the girls like it "Farang for money'' and an "Issan Cowboy" on the side for fun to spend money with. I thought she was joking but she was not. More farangs here being hurt than these Thai girls just doing fake marriages for a dollar. Shoes on the wrong foot here. 4 hours ago, Gecko123 said: Something's not adding up. Married for years to someone you've never met??? Don't both parties have to be present to sign documents when the marriage certificate is issued at the amphoe office? Doesn't immigration in most cases require both spouses to come to immigration when the marriage visa is first issued and renewed? Aren't police interviews with both spouses sometimes required for the initial marriage visa application? What about requirements about submitting interior and exterior photos of where the married couple lives? How can people get past all of these requirements unless there's money being handed under the table? I went through about an hour of having an Immigration Officer question all our neighbors and take a lot of photos both inside and out of our house. Even had to show him our bedroom and he asked me if I was working and where my income came from. Asked my wife in Thai if I was working and where I got my money from. Like Gecko123 said, got to be some money going somewhere as they certainly checked me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

africasiaeuro Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 This needs some clarification. Not being one of those who is part of the worldwide practice of marriage for convenience, one thing should be clarified here: Who is the ' victim '? Is it the one who is being ripped off, or the recipient of the aid. For those who want to be dumb enough - like millions before them - they don't deserve better. Squandering their hard earned cash on a tart and live a dream that will eventually turn out a nightmare requires a kind of imbecile mind. Reality will eventually bring them back to mother earth - if it isn't too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I was under the impression there were far more "victims" on the falang side, mulcted of their life savings by those uneducated Thai women. My Thai GF would love for me to marry her. There are several obstacles to that I won't go into. She certainly doesn't convey the impression of a victim.

Why are the police not going after the agents and charging them with corruption Seeing a crime does not motivate the Thai police.

realenglish1 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 These women are not victims. They knew exactly what they were doing. Immigration is making look like victims so they don't have to prosecute them for Visa fraud. Truth is they accepted money for a sham marriage the knew about They knew it was not a legitimate marriage but then did it anyway for MONEY. No matter how you twist it, its called VISA FRAUD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has gone through the "Thai wife" extension process would know how thorough the verifications can be: home visit(s), financials, neighbourhood survey, marriage certificate, etc. And unlike other extensions approval is given at the head office of the Division. Hence, if IO corruption was involved it would have to be at two levels. So if the problem was widespread our BJ (I mean Big Joke) should be really worried because it would be beyond the scope of isolated desk officers.

Perhaps it is the groundwork for convincing people that all foreigner marriages make Thai women victims and laws to follow making Thais marriage to non Thais illegal.
