IF this is genuine, it's probably another Yank who thinks it's a wise idea to pump his genetic shit into some hooker and then finds out he doesn't have the $4000 or thereabouts to 'save' the children. Oh wait, in the text it says he needs $3400, but the 'goal' on the GoFundMe page is $15,000. Hm...

As one who has been scammed in a former life and used as a walking ATM, it sounds like a scam.

The English can be poor, she used a returned Khmer to do all the writing for her and all the other scammers in on the plot. It is possible for someone who had a low level of English and now cut off from English speakers to devolve. But this one was helping out ‘schools’ so that would assume they he was always reviewing how to write formal English.

Nothing makes sense in the go fund me page. I keep expecting a Nigerian Prince to show up.

if its true, sad and he fucked up
BUT flags raised, No way can passports be issued without BOTH parents signing for them in the embassy in Cambodia and they need be his country passport, and he needs be the legitimate father on paper.
----------------------
For all you expats out there;
1st thing ( well within 6 months) of any westerner's kids being born in ANY foreign country, is get them a passport for your country!!!

Regardless, i call scam

FYI
go fund me created 5 days ago and not $.01raised...of the $15,000 he is asking for

I call bullshit. Why are they in danger here? Its much safer here right now than Cali. Clearly they have two different fathers. The english is another giveaway that its not written by a native speaker.

A passport is $115.

Scam. That was not written by a native english speaker.

This. If it was real there would be a handful of friends/family who would have given some scrapings by now. The complete lack of a single donation from back home sinks this.

He and the kids would all be US Citizens. On arrival they would get lots of benefits.

Kids are entitled to free education, and the school will feed the kids breakfast, and lunch on the weekdays, as well as breakfast and lunch on weekends.

In addition, they would be entitled to SNAP (free food card) on top of that.

As a zero income family, they are entitled to section 8 (government paid) housing.

Anyone who gets SNAP gets free internet and free cellphone and cell phone service. Schools are now handing out laptops as well for learning at home since school is cancelled for the rest of the school year.

Once dad files taxes as a zero income household, he will be below the poverty line and get money from the IRS as a once a year windfall.

Did I mention the welfare check every month? And an extra for each child as well.

And of course, free health care.

He and his kids will live better than most villagers in Cambodia.

There’s a reason why people from other countries with way less than $11,600 in their pocket would cross into the US illegally. Every day, every week, every year.

How many illegally cross into Cambodia every year to receive Khmer benefits?

Sorry for the long rant.

I changed my mind. Please don’t fund this Nigerian scammer.

Unless he filed a A Consular Report of Birth Abroard (CRBA) which i doubt as thats the 1st step to get a us passport for them, they are NOT Americans
they will have no home, no clothes expect those on their backs, no assistance from the state or federal goverment for a few months ( than maybe food stamps)
free health care....ur fucking joking.. its the usa not Sweden
not to mention, no job.
