Western OAP Scammers on the run!

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.

Just to clarify the story a bit more for the piss takers rubbing this in. Here is a direct message from my English OAP friend who doesn't even use Facebook.
I thank you all for your comments, owed actually $14,500 is true. I first started talking to William around November 2020, he told me about his life. I told him about mine. Then March 2021 he told me he had money problems because he had moved to Cambodia, his company was in Thailand and he was waiting for his new bank card. and could I lend him 500$. He showed me documents. His company was then named easy rich holding company. He convinced me with documents. And Korean bank transfer to his company. Again I lent him more money. Then he had hotel problems so I lent him more money. This is when Alastair got involved. He convinced me that all will be paid back. Then they showed me documents from containers been sent to Thailand from India. The covid in India meant they couldn't send the containers to Thailand unless fines were paid for the delays, they showed me documents. I paid the fines to get my money back. But never any money paid to me. I helped but I was scammed. Having lent so much money to them I felt that if I didn't help them, I would lose all my money. Stupid me. What a complete idiot. These are professional scammers. Not one but two.

Well maybe we can agree on our respective tastes then, Frogs eat snails, Aussies eat slugs.

I wonder if you guys take them with butter, parsley and garlic, though...

On the other hand, we like to eat cock.
