Thai internet scam report

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Thai internet scam report

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Not a new scam, but FYI this was reported on a Thaivisa forum on Thursday :
Hi , my wifes daughter came to me this morning to help with a person from london she had been chatting to on facebook . He said he sent her a parcel with $3,200 worth of gifts . She then had a phone call from a woman in phuket asking her to pay 28,000 baht to send her the parcel.
This guy was still on facebook so i started chatting in her place . He could not spell and was obviously a scam so i played with him for a bit . His so called name was eric donaldson and he told me he came from " man chester city , quensland , london "
I told him i was the police and was tracking him and with a few choice words he disappeared. Easy for me to see it was a scam and as my stepdaughter had no money could not send any but i am sure a few thai women without help may be tempted to send money to this scum who steals of the poorest people.
I doubt if it is his photo but if he is stupid enough to think manchester and qeeunsland is in london you never know so this is his facebook page if anyone recognises him
