Pig butchering scam explained

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.

May your friend receive everything she deserves and be recognized by people in high places.

:facepalm:
she's proud of her job?
perhaps you should explain what she is doing, if she thinks there is nothing wrong with it
she is seriously in need of guidance!

I've tried explaining the poor choice it may be, I've made my point. - I'm just a foolish Barang who doesn't understand.

Try to see it from her perspective.

Barang people are given money trees by their Kings, or whoever "owns" them.
These trees never stop growing more money.

It may be inconvenient for a barang to lose the money in their pocket, or even in their bank account.
But, it doesn't matter in the long run since the tree will keep growing more.

For a Cambodian it's much different, because HM does not give them money trees.

She's really just like an adventurous kid stealing some apples from the next village, in the end nobody is hurt.
Money can't buy happiness but it can buy beer

I don’t know what made me watch that but it took my mind off my predicament for awhile
Speaking of high places , …
… 34 1/2 minutes into the BBC documentary is when someone decided to jump .. off
I was so angry a few times I got scammed. The last $7000 was just a really bad realization
I’m glad I didn’t die then

"Try to see it from her perspective."

"She's really just like an adventurous kid stealing some apples from the next village, in the end nobody is hurt."
