I n my case i was drugged eating a pizza slice at 6 pm and they were able to swap my Samsung phone for another Samsung near similar around 9 pm at a bar restaurant table .One hour later they transfered from my ABA account all my money to another ABA bank account .I blocked my account one and half hour later but it was too late .The transfer was made .The next morning i went to the ABA office and by chance my manager accepted to block the transfer waiting the police report .But 4 months later and with the discovery now of another people drugged and his money transfered to the same recipient ABA bank consider i have to go to court because the recipient pretend to get the money .It s a crazy story i agree .For all the others who lost money the thief got their phone when they were drugged and took control of their bank application .

To make it short .2 days after my phone had been stolen they contacted with my messenger one of my friends .The thief went to his home pretended the milkshake she bought was coming like a gift from me .He drink it and passed out .36 hours later he discovered than 38 k have been transfered from his ABA bank account and his 2 passports and phone stolen .Is it not incredible than a gang who got so many complaints at Sangkats is still operating like it .

1. drugged at 6 pm,
2. swapped ur phone at 9 pm ?
3. 1 hour later they stole ur money, ....how did they get ur pin code to transfer out the cash???

than...
....If you didn't have ur phone or sim card, so how could you check ur account? especially at night
4. than 90 minutes after all this you blocked ur account

Curiouser and curiouser!

i for one
have never been drugged ( without my knowledge)
never had a phone stolen
never had money taking out of my account
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

By looking over your shoulder when you made a QR transfer?

You blocked your bank account, but not your sim card?

And then they 'social engineered' your friend into a drug induced sleep, and robbed him. If only you would have blocked your SIM card..... But you blame this on ABA only?

If a male friend of mine had a milkshake delivered to me it would have gone into the garbage and we wouldn’t be friends anymore. 🤣

@Jimbean how old are you? I have been drugged before and I believe your story could have happened the way you told it.
