Re: Cambodia: Asia’s New Fraud Capital

Their money was also being taken from locked hotel safes as well. Meaning their hotel rooms (hotels endorsed by their government), aren’t safe either. Hotel safes do have a master key, well known So where does one keep one’s vacation money while on vacation? Hat, shoes, socks? At home on a bank acc...
