sweatalot 9,031 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I feel really sorry for these women that fall victims to unscrupulous scammers. The dream of getting a farang husband and having a better life is still at large in Thailand. Hope that these scams get better coverage on Thai media to warn future victims. Till then.....we will be hearing again and again of similar cases. Why feel sorry for stupid? First she was stupid to call someone she does not even know a boyfriend Second she was stupid to believe someone she does not know to be a boyfriend Third she was stupid to think someone would give her 1.1 million dollars Lastly she was stupid to think someone who gave her 1.1 million dollars would not pay $10000 postage . She then was even more stupid to think postage can cost $10000. Did she think her bf was sending her a house? Well, how about that... Finally I have found someone who has never done anything stupid in his entire life... You deserve a trophy..that comes with a 400,000 bahts prize as well... guess he has to pay for the customs Link to post Share on other sites
HeijoshinCool 7,904 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm waiting for "The shoe's on the other foot now" comments!!! . Yea, and they would be highly inappropriate and indicative of cold hearts and immature mentalities. I feel sad for the woman. 400k is an awful lot of cash for a Thai nurse to lose. Hope the guy gets in a head-on with a telephone pole on the way to the bank. Does Facebook not cooperate in fraud investigations? Anybody have advice how she could pursue such a process? "they would be highly inappropriate and indicative of cold hearts and immature mentalities." Right. "Hope the guy gets in a head-on with a telephone pole" But that's not... Hypocrisy defined. . Hypocrisy? Nah, justice. Link to post Share on other sites
Privateer 3 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 These scams happen to vulnerable women in Faranland as well. Carried out by "professionals" who are"good" at their job. Link to post Share on other sites

torpedo1970 833 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 While I truly feel sorry for this woman, i do wish the local media would give the same sort of attention to all the foreigners who are scammed by local women. Sadly, it's no surprise at all that they don't however. +1 Link to post Share on other sites

bangon04 1,943 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 ...sorry....I am not buying this...... ...and transferred to a woman's account in Thailand....??? ...."....Theparak ended up making seven transfers, spending a total of THB400,000, to a Kasikorn bank account under the name Karnchana Maklang, a typical Thai woman's name." ...makes no sense..... as in..."no Thai would ever do something like this., it must have been a foreigner?"

SantiSuk 3,379 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Presumably Sotirios meant that it seems implausible that even a Thai caught in gullible mode would think it OK to send money to a Thai bank account in the name of a Thai woman while in pursuit of an American with a typically American name. Does not stack up. Link to post Share on other sites
rgs2001uk 4,527 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 one born every minute. Why say that? The poor sod has a good heart,unlike you. Why mock her? you sit there behind your desktop, having a lovely time mocking poor souls make a mistake But I guess your the Mr perfect. I see from yer avatar you look as if you have a good heart, why dont you marry her and rescue this poor maiden from her own self inflicted hell. Far from Mr perfect, but certainly not blinded by $$$$$$, how many farangs did little miss innocent help from being scammed in the very same part of Thailand? Thai rak thai, mai pen rai, chai mai. PS, I didnt bet the family farm or family jewels on some schmuk I met on FB, far from perfect, thats the beauty of Thailand, every day a new scam. Never mind as a buddhist she will know it was all just an illusion. Money is the root of all evil. Link to post Share on other sites

Come down my way, what about the Thais scammed by other Thais, you wont have to do any googling, some of them belong to the same family, and cant help but rip each other off.

micmichd 1,554 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 It sounds to me that the whole story is made up. Looking at the FB messages they are so lame that only a complete idiot would fall for them. If it is made up she is an 'attention whore" or just another Thai woman scamming another Thai woman. I don't think there was any falang involved at all if you look at the poor grammar used by the so-called falang scammer. What do you expect at Facebook? High literature love poems? And what's the level of all these "normal" Farangs trying to push a younger gf into their wedding scheme? Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, when someone tries to report it, the police give a answer that is 'highly inappropriate and indicative of cold hearts and immature mentalities.' Did someone try to report a scam to Farang police, and they refused to investigate? Link to post Share on other sites
Bangkokhatter 962 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Why pick on old guys, A very cute 24yo hooker in CR had 3 or 4 young backpacker type Euro guys sending her 20k a month each. She laughed so hard at her story, she fell off the bed. Indeed, there are suckers of all ages. Though a backpacker of a similar age who thought he had a holiday romance might have a little more justification in thinking that there is some sort of genuine relationship. Why they carried on sending her significant amounts of money when they had (presumably?) moved on is beyond me. They didn't it's just another made up story from AOA, also known as Tommy physco. Talk about scammers, there are enough on here that paint a fantasy world for themselves and some on here believe what they post. Ok his bullshit is harmless with no victims but goes to show how easy some people believe anything. Link to post Share on other sites
