Siem Reap scam
Siem Reap scam
OK, its an oldie but I want to put it up because of the sheer scale of it I recently observed again in great detail. All first hand observation.....
....wretched looking young kid wanders around among the tourists in the bus center of Siem Reap, begs for help from tourists, needs milk for his hungry/starving baby sister...blah blah. Young/new/naive/compassionate tourist is touched and wants to help, kid walks them over to the Mini-mart close by, the well meaning Barang tourist buys him a 16 dollar tin of baby formula. kid "grateful, tourist feeling good, moves on. Kid waits a few minutes, gives milk tin to his pimp/controller, whatever you want to call him, attacks next target. pimp/controller gathers enough milk tins from his kids, walks them back to the Mini-mart in big black plastic bag, and hands them in, Mini-mart owner gives him some form of written receipt to tally the taking (and re-taking) of the same tins who-knows-how-many-time during the night. The returned tins are placed conveniently at front of the shelves at the very front of the store.
Rinse - repeat. Some people out there busting their butts and others raping people's goodwill. It might be all OK, and some could even commend the street smarts and do-what-you-have-to-do attitude, but when you refuse to give and you get abused and told to fuck off by an 8 year old kid, that's pretty shit.

Re: Siem Reap scam
Fagin, the Artful Dodger and Charley Bates were all playing pool together when Fagin said, "Black ball, top right."
But the ball rattled in the pocket jaws before dropping into the opposite corner.
"You lose," said the Artful Dodger.
"Fuck off do I. Why?" asked Fagin.
The Dodger replied "Because you've got to pick a pocket, not two."
