webfact Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Video: Insurance scammer caught on tape running in front of car Thai caption: Just learning how to do it CCTV from Rama 9 Road in Bangkok at the weekend showed a clear case of someone trying to get away with an insurance scam. A man is seen waiting to cross the road before he chooses the right moment to run in front of an approaching car. The car manages to brake in time but the man hurls himself on the hood of the vehicle and then lies in a heap on the road surface clearly claiming dire injury. The white car involved pulls over and stops and the driver is believed to have got out though the clip ends before that happens. The footage recorded on Saturday was shared to Facebook from a Line group by Dec Potiapiyanwisut. The poster said that such activity to try and get insurance money was now in Thailand. Thaivisa has shown several of these cases in the country over the last few years. But YouTube is full of such scammers - many in China and many who have been revealed as cheats by CCTV. It is not known how this case was resolved, reported Sanook.

kotsak Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Like there aren't already uncountable problems to deal with while driving, now we've to deal with this kind of s*it as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesofa Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Hopefully someone took a photo of the guy, and perhaps went through his pockets while he was 'injured' to find his ID card and photograph that too. Put it online along with this video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan1962 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 That oxygen thief should be charged and thrown in jail. He could have caused a serious accident if the driver had swerved to avoid hitting him. As if driving in Thailand isn’t bad enough without having to worry about selfish,lowlife,dip<deleted>s like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 There are a lot easier scams in Thailand,than throwing yourself in front of a car,he needs to try the romance scam,less dangerous. I think it must have been his first try,as he did not just get it right,waiting for the car to stop then throwing yourself on it ! regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 This scam has been going on in the UK and other European countries for years. I am surprised that it has taken so long to get here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daffy D Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I have fitted 2 pair of additional horns to my pick up. On the rare occasions when I do use the horn it is VERY LOUD. Anyone trying that trick on me would not have stayed by the front of the car for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daffy D Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Basic must have car accessories for Thailand:- Dash Cam front and rear Reversing camera (not to run over little old grandmas) Extra loud horn set. If you have a pickup one of those front fitted RooBar sets is usefull for nudging without cracking your own plastic bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saminoz Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I would have loved to have seen the big truck flatten him shorty after. As it was, he was unlucky not to get mowed down by the scooter that was haring up the footpath before he tried his dumb trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_smith237 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I like the 'Russian' cams where the scam attempt is made and a big unit of a bloke gets out the the car and proceeds to kick the living daylights out of the scammer !!! A Dash-Cam is a must when driving your car these days. I'd like to see this guy charged - he so very nearly caused an accident, innocent people could have easily been hurt as a direct result of his actions. A car swerving to avoid him could have hit another car, or knocked a motorcycle off etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
