webfact Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Man unmasks gang of ‘snacking’ monks in Phetchaburi By The Nation A man exposed a gang of crooks, who allegedly dress as monks to dupe people, after falling for their story himself. He posted pictures of these so-called monks on Facebook, saying he ran into them on a road in Phetchaburi province. Initially, the monks asked for water, before changing their request to ask for money. The man’s post went viral when other victims shared their experience. It appears as if this gang of five usually target tourists and spend the money they get to buy snacks. The man said he was afraid that this group of “fake” monks may commit violent acts in the future.

connda Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I've seen the same. Approached, asked for water, then asked for money. Then they start acting creepy. Me? Without a word, into the car, lock the door, drive away. Kudos to any who report this to the police. Fake monks are charlatans and aren't beyond acting out violently. Essentially they are criminals dressing as monks to defraud the public. Edited November 21, 2020 by connda 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
