Western OAP Scammers on the run!

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything.

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

If you are going to anonymously defame people, at least make it interesting for the reader.
Do you mean fat shaming ?

Over half a year ago, I stumbled into Mr. William Dean Wendel in Phnom Penh 172 Street and had a casual chat. Long story short, we spoke about trading and stocks which I am doing pretty well in. He spoke about a million-dollar deal coming in and would consider giving me 10,000$ to trade with. All and behold, 2 weeks later his deal didn't go through and was delayed, asked me if I could help him out with 600$ to get by. Me being as naive as I am, seeing only dollar signs, I stupidly went ahead with it. Now over half a year later, the same story persists and nothing has been returned.
As time progressed, I kept meeting other victims of these two individuals. My 600$, 15,000$ to an English OAP, 2.000$ to Silver Mounts Hotel, 100$'s of dollars to travel agency for passport and god knows how many 100$'s or 1000$'s to multiple bars around the city. Their luggage is being held by multiple hotels until bills are paid in full, and the travel agency won't release passports until hotels are paid in full.
These two individuals are scammers to the highest degree and must be stopped before more lives are ruined, as many already have been. Please beware, any questions kindly message me or if you have a victim yourself please raise your voice.
Here are some more sources I've found about them;

Your story is so full of red flags it should be in the 'must read' section of the '172-street handbook'. Just leave out the 'scammer's' names.

As for me, I already get suspicious when being offered a 2000r beer on that street.

That's some dumb shit. How the hell do people ever get money together if they are that gullible? How come they don't just get all their candy stolen every time they go outside? :?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

People with Multi Million $ deals don't drink in bars in street 172.
People with Multi Million S deals don't talk about their deals, especially not to people who go to Street 172.
People with Multi Million $ deals don't need $600 "to get by on".

"Two wolves and a sheep decide what they are going to have for dinner". Can you guess which one you are in that scenario?

I wonder what the OP is feeling right now. His big 'reveal' of the scammers and their tactics has fallen flat on it's face and the only revelation is just how dumb the he has been. There is zero sympathy.

He doesn't seem to see the causal link with people like him and low grade scammers. Without the hopelessly credulous these scammers would starve to death.
