Re: What's the end game with this scam?
Meeting the beautiful "niece" is the next step. Don't be skeptical about what we are telling you, because it's the exact same MO that I've heard repeated dozens of times in reports about people getting ripped off on poker scams. I got approached by some twat near Wat Botum who tried some "Your shoes are nice" garbage on me once. I told him I didn't play cards and he made some pathetic excuse and left. Don't give these people as much as a smile, they are parasites.LIVIDZX wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 8:33 pmJokes aside what IS the scam? I'm skeptical it's the blackjack scam, these guys are always on their own for a start. No beautiful niece who needs to study.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 20, 2020 8:05 pm If it's any use to you as protection against being approached by scammers, I think that at the time I was wearing some purple or limegreen $2 sunglasses bought from a riverside vendor. Obviously they were not attractive.
(But super protective!)
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Your shirt is nice.
You have a happy face.
I like your shoes.
...
My response is always the same: I keep walking and don't even acknowledge the fucker.

I had this too, nice t-shirt etc.
So I walk around naked now & never get any compliments about my birthday suit or meat & veg.
Problem solved though.

I never say a word and keep walking, but I do give them a filthy look, just so they know I have heard them and am onto them. They never waste any further time on me.
I would not advise getting into any conversation or getting up close. The more dumb you seem the more excited they will be and if you start backing out they might revert to plan B and start using their pick-pocketing skills.
Keep your distance and never engage with them (beyond a glare)
