Sometimes on the internet, what you see is not what you get. That goes double for dating apps.

Sornshat “Nat” Polwattana learned that the hard way this week when he was conned into sending THB89,000 (about US$2,700) to a scam artist he had met on a dating app.

Yesterday, our humbled hero brought all his gathered evidence to Meung Police Station in Chantaburi province to officially file a police report.

Sornshat explained to authorities that he could hardly believe his luck when such a pretty woman, who went by the alias “Kwan,” started talking to him via a dating app on Nov 5, reported Amarin TV.

And so began the classic “catfish” maneuver, in which someone adopts another personality online in order to part a mark from his or her money (or sometimes just to mess with them).

Ariyapat Meegeaow, 37, was shocked to find out that it was her face that had lured poor Sornshat to his financial doom. Ariyapat, who only found out when a friend showed her the fake profiles, filed her own complaint over alleged identity theft at Bangkok’s Hua Mak Police Station yesterday.

“That can’t be me. I’m past the age to use dating apps,” Ariyapat told Amarin TV in an interview.

Meanwhile, Sornshat told the local media that he had learned from his mistakes. In fact, he said, he has written “Don’t lend money to anyone” on a piece of paper and stuck it near his bed (because this story couldn’t get any sadder).

It is an expensive lesson he doesn’t ever want to forget, he said.

her face looks like a common type on dating apps imo .cloned and photo shopped with thick eyebrows from somewhere

the catfisher was a thai women not a nigerian for a change

Far better off with one of the young ladies (nearly young ladies) who has been working at the Patters bar for 2 weeks and has picked up perfect English in that time. At least you would only end up paying for mothers operation and the Vet bill for the buffalo

Is she breaking those eyebrows in for Dennis Healey .

Statts looks to me like the real con artist could also be the buffalo

a cloned face with pointy chin and thick eyebrows of mouse fur seems to be the optimum face online these days to entice fools to part with their wonga =D>
