webfact Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Video: "Dangerous Aunty" rides again! - tricky old woman swindler cons cashiers out of 500 baht Picture: Daily News A video published by Thai Rath showed an old lady ripping off cashiers in a change scam. She had earlier emerged as a thief after trying to con a student but fled after being rumbled. Now "Dangerous Aunty" is back in business. In Paradise Park, Sri Nakharin, she was caught on CCTV using a 1,000 baht note for a 50 baht item. The cashier returns the change and puts it on the counter but in the blink of an eye the women - dressed in a yellow hat and carrying plenty of shopping - secretes 500 baht under her armpit then claims the cashier didn't give her the full change. An almost identical theft occurred at a coffee shop and bakery in Big C in the same area. This time dressed in blue with the same style "old lady" hat, she pulls the same trick. Daily News reported that shops had not reported the case to police as small money was involved. Now online warnings are being made to watch out for the tricky old lady. Dialog in one of the thefts showed the old lady's craftiness in blaming the cashier for THEIR trickery. Staff are being warned to make sure that customers are watched until they have put away their change. -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2020-10-26 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this time I avoid them if possible or use only small notes there. With big notes I pay at Tops or Big C. There I never ever had a problem.

And what made her dangerous? not sure about the dangerous bit, but if you knew anything about thai culture you'd know why she is referred to as 'aunt'.
