That could be one of around 2500 western guys ages 50+ in Phnom Penh - even if it is Pike it looks like your potato needs an upgrade

It was sent to me by a friend who said he just talked to a weird aussie guy, but it appears to be pike.

In Phnom Penh? He's not in Siem Reap anymore? That might be an important piece of information for the immigration police squad.

But, were there any distinguishing characteristics?

@kateP don’t feel too downhearted about your oversight I’ve heard there’s one born every minute!
Take a few deep breaths, learn from it, move on. Flying off the handle and asking people what level of thick they’re in only your third response isn’t a good approach especially here in Cambodia, the guy was trying to explain how things work here through experience which you should already know if you live here?

You checked the scammers credentials after you sent the money, you gave it to him!
That’s a pretty high level of thick right there!

Anyway if your blunder can once again expose him and lead to an
arrest that $300 you sent to a dubious website/link just to save a few quid will seem like money well spent! More like a bargain if he gets done for fiddling with kids!

Andrew pike was my step dad, he destroyed many lives, including his children, family and extended family. I still have nightmares. Hopefully cancer takes him.

I have just been scammed by Andrew (Drew) Pike out of $300 for medical supplies. He knows full well they were essential. I then with horror realised as I looked him up, he has a history going back decades of defrauding people.

I have contacted the federal police here, DFAT and cc'd in a media outlet. I have contacted the Australian embassy in Cambodia and the Cambodian embassy in Australia.

Can anyone provide me with an email address in Cambodia of the head of the police there or any other departments that may look into it.

He needs to be stopped. Thanks Kate

How is he still scamming! I thought he’d be dead by now????
