Dodgy job offer in Sihanoukville

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I’ve always wondered how they recruit henchmen to work in evil lairs. Every day’s a school day.

If a smug English dude in a tuxedo shows up my advice is run for the exit :good:

Don’t think so. Chinese company and native English speakers? China certainly isn’t the target.

I’m guessing it’s some time share/penny share/useless crypto scam selling to the poor old OAP in the UK, Australia and North America.

I know a guy whose Father's Uncle, Cousin Keith, overheard someone talking to him, about an Indonesian company in Sihanoukville. (Many would miss the Snooky of old - I know I do and I won't go back - brought to its knees by an infestation, like a pack of hyenas on a Giant Eland).
Evidently, the company has an office tower there. Rumour has it, the appointment is sold as a marketing capacity for their real estate/property, but soon after starting they're "promoted" to their online casino division. So instead of selling office space, they sell online casino sites instead, apparently.

The types of characters these schemes attract are often young partiers that are too loose to be let loose with drunk loose tongues - not uncommon for these guys to receive a hiding when they step out of line, and are sometimes shipped around the globe to various set ups, - and bringing attention to themselves, supposedly. "Believers" who have a slack rein to the extent they are fed a story why not to mention anything, and kept away from the seasoned crew. "Questioners", who are unlikely to last, ex-timeshare and others, that all need to be baby-sat. The paranoia is the reason for the lockdown, chaperones, passport thing. Control. Allegedly.

As far as I am informed, they complained about the food they got at the embassy
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over

That is not what the Pakistani Embassy says in their press release.
