WARNING, FARANG CON ARTIST
WARNING, FARANG CON ARTIST
Initial info on a possible (very likely) con artist in Issan (Udon Thani, though most likely he's already in some other area of Thailand or another country).
Fairly intelligent individual, stayed at a middle class hotel (Irish Cock, at 20K a month which was paid in advance....no passport copy). Passed himself off as an Emirate Pilot, at 5' 7-8" tall and maybe 78-80kilos, claimed to be Scotish (speaks with a British / South African acsent), has a goatie. Waiting for a copy of his passport (from tracking his initial arrival, and previous lodging), so as stated above only an initial warning.
Borrowed over 50K that I know off, maybe more from other individuals in Udon.
As best I know he departed Udon Thani for some unknown destination (most likely Khon Kaen/Nong Khai/Korat or maybe even Laos) around Friday, 5 Nov. Figure he only has 30K baht in funds, just enough to set up another scam in another locations.
Not verified, but his real name maybe Jamie Milner.....but waiting for the copy of his passport to very this!!!
He checked into the Irish Cock under a different name, so expect he'll use another name at his new location.
He golfs and claims to be a 6-7 handicap, more like a 10-12!!!!
This is the 3rd time I've loan money to a expat out off 6 times (in excess of 10K), so I'm batting 500. Definitely not loaning any money to another expat....................no matter what sob story I get.................,,,,,,,,or the amount requested.
Again only an initial warning/report (to protect the innocent), more info to follow once more detail is collect!!!

Re: WARNING, FARANG CON ARTIST
To Thine Own Self Be True
Yet here, Laertes! Aboard, aboard for shame!
The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail,
And you are stay'd for.
There ... my blessing with thee!
And these few precepts in thy memory
Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel but, being in,
Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgement.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man;
And they in France [ Images ] of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower, nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee!
-- William Shakespeare

Re: WARNING, FARANG CON ARTIST
Thanks for the "heads up" on this mosquito. Having met the guy, I can understand that he did have "the gift of the gab" as we say in UK. Must say though, he was suspicious. Not too many "airline pilots" would turn up at a bar two nights running with thier "bo**ocks" hanging out of a torn pair of shorts, and, after the manager had told him about it the first night! He was obviously about as Scottish as a 50p note with such a broad SA accent, and poor knowledge of Scotland.
Re: WARNING, FARANG CON ARTIST
So how much did you lend him Statto ??stattointhailand wrote:Thanks for the "heads up" on this mosquito. Having met the guy, I can understand that he did have "the gift of the gab" as we say in UK.

Re: WARNING, FARANG CON ARTIST
And I thought I was being as polite as possible given the information as posted. So the bottom line is this ASS still has all his readies in pocket and NO Farang here in Ban Dung have attempted to borrow from me knowing exactly what answer they will get. The precedent has been set BUT, IMO it works in reverse as well. If one becomes a 'soft touch' it doesn't take long for the word to get around and the aarseholes you described above will seek you out.

Re: WARNING, FARANG CON ARTIST
How long do we need to wait for the oft predicted return of Jesus?
Religion (of all varieties) is a scam. Believe in it if you wish, but please don't try to impose it on the rational people of the world - which of course, all religions try to do. In the process, outdoing each other with their radicalism and violence.
Blah!

Yes & today there are 2.2 billion Christians, in 120 years, despite lauding God they will all be dead as well. As have all those that preceded them...
