New Scam in Siem Reap involving Fake Money

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Not to everyone, just to one certain person and when i say one certain person, you actually know it.

I doubt you were dumb enough to offer $20 to one of those old yays who tend the little shrines and ask for donations. Usually 500 riel is enough. Taking ghost money in change is pretty dumb though. That ghost money that looks like US dollars would actually be illegal in many countries.

Hell bank notes are perfectly legal though.

We were targeted but we weren't victimized from it. My cousin family is catholic and they don't believe all these stuff. They didn't even bother to listen to those kids and men, but they just chased us.
