Alert: Western Scammers Migrating from Kampot to Siem Reap

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

These two western men have been posted on the "Cambodian Scammers" page in the past two days - both are sought in Kampot and are said to be either in Siem Reap or heading that way. The two allegations made here have already been posted on the internet for several days, so if anyone feels that they have been defamed by this, don't forget to contact the admins on the above social media page.

* The first one is a British man, JAMIE LEE MORGAN:

* The second is said to be a dual Romanian-US citizen traveling on a Romanian passport, CRISTIAN-FLORIN ERCHEDI:

Meet CRISTIAN-FLORIN ERCHEDI, self-proclaimed US Army veteran and of Italian-Romanian heritage (that is if he did'nt just lie about it). Cristian rented a business property in Kampot about 6-7 months ago and disappeared from there on Oct 3, 2023, with debts of at least $800 to his landlord and $500 to a sub-letter. He is known to lie repeatedly about his economic situation and background and is also a highly alcoholic man with an average consumption of one case of beer per day. He is thought to have fled to Siem Riep with his girlfriend Hor Lim. This matter is going to the police and immigration but if anyone sees Cristian Erchedi in Siem Riep or elsewhere please send a PM to me or the landlord, yin.chhaya.3 here on FB. He is traveling on a Romanian passport but may hold dual citizenship with USA. Any information very much appreciated.

I've also spotted the Mother-Daughter duo back in SR from Kampot, you all know who I mean: Batshit insane, mothers got those massive fake boobs, kicked out of every bar on Sok San at least twice etc...
So yeah if you have new mates in town make sure they dont fall for them thinking their some sort of damsels in distress that need saving (they do look a lot more methed up than when they left but still decent enough to get lonely horny men to open their pockets and homes)

With a name CRISTIAN-FLORIN, he is without doubt Romanian, i think its the most common name overthere. Drink 1 case a beer a day, if that makes you highly alcoholic, about half Phnom Penhs barang-scene is highly alcoholic and Romania probably even more !! Get out those bottles of Palinka !

So a landlord lost $1000? Did they not have the sense to get a deposit?

Someone ripped for $800.

Wow wee. These are small sums, people need to put value on lessons or just stop being retarded in the first place.

A case of beer a day, hope its not that Anchor fly urine
