webfact Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Video: Nasty foreign "guest" on police radar after cashier scams across several provinces Thai caption: Warning! Nasty foreign "khaek". I've already paid you - I want my change". Picture: 77kaoded Police in Phetchabun are hunting what 77kaoded called a "nasty foreign khaek" who has been scamming restaurants and shops in three provinces. The word khaek is often used contemptuously of people from India and neighboring countries. It also means "guest" in Thai. A video showed the modus operandi of the scammer who buys things like beer with a 1,000 baht note before asking for his money back. Using English he confuses cashiers with glib banter then convinces them he has not only paid but needs his change. A restaurant owner called Suphakit referred to the man as a "khaek scammer". Pol Capt Saksorn of the Phetchabun police said that the man was a Pakistani and issued a picture of the suspect. Capt Saksorn asked for information to be supplied to him on 088 280 9085. The man is known to have scammed shops and restaurants in Phetchabun, Uttaradit and Phitsanulok. Saksorn said that many thefts have probably gone unreported as sums involved were small.

BritManToo Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 How odd, The normal scam is you hand the cashier/waitress 1,000bht, and they claim it was only 500bht when they come back with change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed... I dont understand how this works unless it really is.. pass 1000b.. ask for 1000b back.. ask for change.. How sub normal an IQ would you have to have to then give him more money than he gave you at that point.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the scam is, you scan the extra item.. if the foreigner who can't read the itemized list doesn't return then its yours! not unlike the gas station scam that they didn't zero the pumps mind you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. However the Chinese and Indians (of which this bloke was not) are the ones that take the majority of the dirt handed out by our resident xenophobes.
