inThailand Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Since most Thai wifes of foreigners get their money from them, isn't the falang the real victim? Maybe it was really to scam the husbands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Jones Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 19 hours ago, RichardColeman said: Does it never sink in to these people, that if someone is offering 30% returns then there is something a bit screwy about it when the bank offers less than 2% ? This popped up on local Facebook pages. The commenting posts were very obvious in their condemnation and I - for one - personally reported it to FB moderators (the result? - nothing - - ) How can ANYBODY think that a 30% return on an investment is real? This "Bew" person must have been a smooth talker! - And, even if they do catch up with her there will be no money to be recovered - - - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the Len share scheme that is being operated, it’s more complicated than that...and no daily dividend Also, it’s perfectly legal if operated correctly.....hard to believe but it’s very common in Thailand amongst all social classes.......no just Issan wives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
