Sounds Like Khmerican Deportee "Scammer Steve" Has Made His Way to Kampot
From the Kampot Noticeboard:
"Be aware folk,
New scam came to Kampot?
Khmer guy between electric shop and ibis office (behind sokimex on durian r-about), being too much friendly, speaks perfect English, asking the very same questions - where from, how long been here blablabla. Saying he was deported from U.S. after living there for 23 years and trying now to sort his life out, doesn't know where to go, what to do, looking for job, asking for money "as much you can give from your heart, any amount".
Asked him what he was deported for - bank robbery. "But I didnt do it, the other gang did".
Nice looking watch (could be $5 from the market of course), gold ring, big phone, I offered him to go to pawn shop. -
"But that's all I got, watch is a gift from a friend from Norway, what I gonna do?"
Have seen characters like that a lot in PP, but looks like they are coming to Kampot now.
Or mby I'm just paranoid"
Doesn't sound like a "scam" to me, but bad news nonetheless.

Where does it say he's called Steve ? It wouldn't be too surprising if there are others now. Quite a few deportees from the US recently, and rising. Some of them must be totally confused by Cambodia. It could be one of the new guys.
Steve probably gets blamed for every deportee scammer in Cambodia. Just becuz he's so famous.
ID photo or it's not a match, GM.

That post isn't referring to Steve, but a different deportee.

If it is Scammer Steve he's moved recently as he tried it on with me in one of his usual haunts in TTP about three weeks ago - I pointed to the signage on the tuk-tuk and asked him for a charitable donation. He declined, and moved on.

Should I change the name of this topic? I'd hate to give Scammer Steve a bad name....oh wait?

I like the sound of someone who admits that he was done for robbing a bank. Nowadays banks rob people. This is not Steve's MO, he is always on the riverside.
