Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On January 14, 2020, at 8:35 pm, a 53-year-old Libyan woman, BEN AHMED RABIA AHMIDA, had money stolen from her handbag at a massage shop on street 178, Khan Daun Penh, Phnom Penh.

The victim went to a massage shop located at #16, street 178, to get a massage. The masseuse told her to keep her bag near the bed, but when she told the woman to turn over, she reached into the bag and stole the money. However, when the victim realized that she was being robbed, she screamed for help.

The suspect, 32-year-old Meun Chreb, is accused of stealing 1000 euros from her customer's bag, and of passing 800 euros to her fellow employee, who ran away with the money.
The police were called, so they went to the scene and arrested the suspect for questioning. The massage woman was found in possesssion of a 200 euro note, and police are searching for her accomplice and the rest of the money.

As before - take $1000 in ghost money. Then get your rub and tug. If your money gone then complain. If they bring ghost money back then complain more.. worst case - free massage or pay the $2.50.

Oh S***! Thanks Mish.
I always thought they paid you the $2.50.
I just imagined it was a nice little side-earn opportunity for us broken down, and nearly always flat-bloke old expats.
I had it on the contingency list if things ever got reeally desperate.

Why do the do it then? with those hatchet faced, cold hearted, empty meth-headed lumps of sinew and bone - with a little bit of lard thrown in if you're lucky..

I don't get it.
We pay them..???
You serious?

Geez i'm an idiot some times.

Yep - it's the nuclear option only... One step down from the Vietnam Coffee Shop and one step up from Wat Phnom or GSM. There ARE good massage places but they charge accordingly. The clip joints?? Looks like you have researched the ladies on display!
