Lucky Farang Man - should be more like him

I wouldn't want 'anyone' to end up like her. End of of the day; greed begets more greed. 

More than likely karma in her case.

[Booboo101]

Where can I find a woman as stupid as that, let me know please !

[DavisH]

Who owns the Thai bank accounts that she transferred money to? Farang or Nigerian, they were local or had local contacts. 

First thing she should have done is asked to see hime face to face in webcam. Screenshot the person or video their conversation with camtasia.

He won't be a Farang - he will have posed as one but almost certainly African.

Everyone how isn't a Thai person is a farang

Isn't an African a faring'. Any one who isn't a Thai person is a farang.

No, I was asking you what your point was as you seemed to know something about this particular woman's case but obviously you don't.

[SteveK]

Africans are not farang - they are kon dum.

It does seem like a variation of the standard Nigerian prince scam. My wife has a couple of Thai friends in the UK that lost £10,000 to this type of scam.

A fool and his/her money are easily parted  comes to mind.

Zero sympathy. All the signs were there. And you certainly didn't give him the money out of love. You were investing.

As much as I can see, she looks pretty hot. The guy must have been very good.

If going by the photo in the OP, she does have a nice shape....if that's even her.  But how hot can a 47 yr old be?  Besides, I've never seen an attractive woman fall for these scams.  It's almost always someone older, lonely, desperate....with some cash saved up.  These scammers aren't stupid.  The young hotties aren't desperate and would never give away hard earned cash.  It's the older women who are prime targets.

She said that she was cautious having heard about Romance Scams but this was different. 55555555

 

Soon "Christian" - who she believed was an American - said he had to go to Malaysia to sort out a multi million dollar inheritance he had got from his father who was involved in government contracts to build roads in that nation. His father died in 2015, he said......Yep the ordinary Nigerian Scam !!!

In Malaysia, all road building contracts are given to local cronies, never to foreigners, black or white. Only a non-Malaysian would have believed in that story.

So Malaysia also has sick buffaloes and broken fridges

The perpetrators are almost always Nigerians, with the help of locals, usually ethnic Malays. 

15 Nigerians arrested as police cripple love scam syndicate

 

Women are also made use of as mule bank account holders

 

[Desmondo69]

You can’t fix stupid...

[RickTik]

Reading the details of the scammer's angle - it is a common scam that usually starts with Emails pushing that specific type of story. 

Although there are obviously scammers around the world, the one mentioned sounds like yes, it did come out of Nigeria. The "Christian Mark" sounds familiar also.

We know she won't get her money back, but, life goes on.

I certainly wish her well. ✌
