Travel Agent Scammer Gambles Away Tour Group Money
Cambodia Breaking News (Phnom Penh): On 25 June 2019, police detained 33-year-old Hoss Thol, manager of the Inside Out Tour Travel Company at 39C, House 454, Group 24, Village 4, Sangkat Tuol Tumpoung I, Khan Chamkar Mon.
Ms Thol is accused of scamming a group of Cambodian tourists who paid for a 6 night and 7 day tour to China. The tour group left Cambodia and got as far as Hong Kong, where they were informed that the tour company did not have enough money to pay for their accommodation. The tourists were very unhappy and took their passports to fly back to Cambodia, where they reported the company to the police after the woman refused to give them their money back.
On being questioned by the police, Ms Thol admitted that she could not pay back the customers because she had gambled away all the money.

It is interesting that this tour agent is still in business, after it was reported that Ms Thol scammed a tour group of Cambodian tourists out of at least US$100,000 in June 2019, and appeared before Phnom Penh Court in July 2019, charged with fraud and breach of trust, and that if convicted, she faced a possible jail sentence of up to three years. However, she is apparently still in business in Phnom Penh, so be aware.I also have been a victim here. Paid 580 dollars to her. She gave my passports to some other agency and now they are demanding I pay 1050 dollars to get my passports back from them.

I will go over to this wonderful travel agent and book the “trip of a lifetime“ and after that a nice massage in street 19, all that with a stash of the money which is lying on the altar of my girlfriend.
