The fake monk scam still as popular as ever.
For those who don't know about these fake monks. They hang around touristy areas and are asking for money on various pretexts. Real monks will never go around begging from foreigners or trying to bless you or sell you something.

I have noticed those fake monks extending their territory to the outer areas of PP . My kids and I saw them getting money off poor Cambodians in Takhmau and I asked my kids if they knew they were fake monks. No they didn't know, so what do they talk about on facebook these days ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Pursat: Fake Australian monk has been arrested for impersonating a monk and he may be deported. They are going down hard on him because he was reported to the police by the local religious authorities, who received complaints about his demands for "donations". He seems to have been raking in a fair bit of dough.
Major General Uk Heiseila, chief investigator at the Ministry of Interior’s immigration department, identified the fake monk as Vietnamese-Australian Tren Hao Fan, 49, who was transferred to the immigration department for further questioning on Saturday.
“If he has no passport he will be deported and put on the no-entry list permanently,” Maj. Gen. Heiseila said.
Pursat town police chief Chhorn Rith told Khmer Times that police made the arrest after a complaint was filed by the provincial religious department.
He added that police found evidence in addition to items commonly used by monks like robes, stick and bags. “We also found a motorcycle, $3,040 and 1.7 million riel [about $425],” Mr. Rith said.

You'd never guess he wasn't a real monk.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Is it the three and a half grand, the motorbike, or the facial hair that gives it away ?John Bingham wrote:You'd never guess he wasn't a real monk.
