Cambodia Breaking News (Poipet): A foreign man named as URIAH LYFORD, manager of the University of the Nations in Poipet, has posted his argument with a man pretending to be a police officer at Poipet border, Banteay Meanchey. This has been picked up by Khmer media. University of the Nations is a Christian organization whose mission is to bring people all over the world to Jesus Christ.

According to the video, the foreign man said, " actually, I am not a tourist, and that man isn't a police officer. He works for a private company which scams tourists. The Cambodian man lied to me that he was a police officer to threaten me, but he wasn't a police officer; he worked for a local company. Finally, the local people said that the company is always scamming tourists to get money from them."

Yet another westerner in Asia with a God complex?
The title excited me briefly, since 'missionary' is clearly something that can be developed further . . .

I've seen him around for a year or so. I'll hold off on my anti-missionary rant. Fair play to him for calling out some bullshit. He couldn't do this if he didn't speak the language. This looks like good work to me .

I've only gone through that border once but on the way to Thailand in 2000 so didn't notice anything untoward. I heard of that fake police hut/ visa scam since then and it's ridiculous that it still goes on. What the hell kind of way is that to run things? How many millions have been lost because tourists' first impressions were of being scammed? It wouldn't surprise me if a whole lot of visitors have just turned around and exited as soon as possible without spending another red cent here?

my hunch those girls are getting hit on by these types big time

I wanted to 'meet the team' on their website, but they only left a cryptic message on their webpage:

I'd like the one in the red & white checked shirt to convert me.
