Re: Nigerian Scam Gang Busted in Phnom Penh
I tried, i really did try, to give weight to the words of the esteemed president of the Nigeria Cambodia Friendship and Co-operation Society (or similar) when he expressed, with a sigh of sad regret, that most Nigerians in Cambodia were not heroin dealers, pimps and con artists at all - the vast majority were in fact fine upstanding business people, part-time amateur philanthropists or highly skilled football players just sharing the joy.
18 months later he got 20 on the bottom.

Surely that's all just a misunderstanding and they are as pure as the driven snow.

Re: Nigerian Scam Gang Busted in Phnom Penh
I remember that guy, he managed to put Nigerian-Cambodian relations back for at least a few years or decades. Wasn't he also a church minister?SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 6:47 pm I tried, i really did try, to give weight to the words of the esteemed president of the Nigeria Cambodia Friendship and Co-operation Society (or similar) when he expressed, with a sigh of sad regret, that most Nigerians in Cambodia were not heroin dealers, pimps and con artists at all - the vast majority were in fact fine upstanding business people, part-time amateur philanthropists or highly skilled football players just sharing the joy.

Oh yeah. I think his exact counterpart in Thailand got done for the same 1-2 years earlier or later. Talk about going all in with your chips. They were boom or bust types of dudes, apparently.SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 6:47 pm I tried, i really did try, to give weight to the words of the esteemed president of the Nigeria Cambodia Friendship and Co-operation Society (or similar) when he expressed, with a sigh of sad regret, that most Nigerians in Cambodia were not heroin dealers, pimps and con artists at all - the vast majority were in fact fine upstanding business people, part-time amateur philanthropists or highly skilled football players just sharing the joy.

Re: Nigerian Scam Gang Busted in Phnom Penh
These are professional scammers. They know all about screening attempts to weed out their kind. And how to lie like driven snow. Only the good (clueless) Nigerians get denied entrance.Barangjoymrai wrote:Who keeps lettin these people in? I mean cmon seriously...
Anyways, that’s my thinking.
