International bank transfers
Re: International bank transfers
I thinl that is a bit paranoid. Chinese bring huge sums here regularly for gambling because they have limited access to electronic payment and transfer methods. If you declare the cash then the receipt is proof you notified the officer and puts him possibly in the frame if something happened. I don't see hundreds of reports of gamblers being mugged. What is much more risky is getting a huge wad of notes out in public or leaving it in your room. It is much more efficient to scam you out of your money than actually rob you of a large amount, and far less likely to result in a jail sentence.soup wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 4:58 amExactly this!
You're just asking for trouble if you bring in that much cash. Hell, I'd rob ya!
Use one of the blockchain based money transfer companies like Veem. It's free to use but the receiving bank will want to make a slice.
Whatever you do, DO NOT declare anything with any government official or we'll be reading about your ass in the obits!

It's not paranoid at all, it's pragmatic! There was a guy who declared 40,000usd in Panama to the customs agent. The agent steered him into the right cab and the taxi driver off'd him and they split the money. Eventually, they were found out and prosecuted.pczz wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 9:39 amI thinl that is a bit paranoid.

So the question remains, do you want to be the guy who sends his money in a way that is safe, or do you want to risk your life to a government agent in a country rife with corruption.
I thought you were smarter than this, pczz. Now I know.

Re: International bank transfers
I think the flaw in your argumanet is you are talking about panama and we are in Cambodia. there have been several attempts to kidnap wealthy people for ransom, and a few people have been ripped off by bar girls but i do not recollect any cases in the last 8 years where a foreigner was killed for large amounts of cash by police or government staff. they may have been fleeced, but not robbed. You are not comparing like for like. you might have a valid pouint if this was panama expats online, but it isn'ssoup wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 12:41 pmIt's not paranoid at all, it's pragmatic!

Re: International bank transfers
It wasn't an argument. It was an opinion. You made it a personal attack by saying it was a bit paranoid. If you disagree with the opinion, write about that, but do not make it personal. Save that shit for your boyfriend/girlfriend.pczz wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 9:52 pmI think the flaw in your argumanet is you are talking about panama and we are in Cambodia. there have been several attempts to kidnap wealthy people for ransom, and a few people have been ripped off by bar girls but i do not recollect any cases in the last 8 years where a foreigner was killed for large amounts of cash by police or government staff. they may have been fleeced, but not robbed.

I really don't have time in my life, nor the desire, to give you or anyone their narcissistic supply. So, again, if you don't like my opinion, hit the back button!
