    Thai woman `scammed` out of £130K.

    Northern Ireland is at the centre of an elaborate international scam that deceived one woman out of a small fortune.
    The victim, a divorcee from Munich, said she lost £130,000 in an internet swindle.
    Pissamai Strehle, 50, started an online relationship with a man who claimed to live in Newtownabbey, County Antrim.
    She recently visited Northern Ireland to try to recover her money.
    "I need my money back, to pay for my car and my home and everything else," she said.
    Asked if she was naïve for sending money to someone she had never met face-to-face she said: "I know, I know. I realise that now."

    I was wondering the same. TD CSI are good but I missed the clues in solving this one.

    On another note, she is wearing quite well for 50.

    I hope not. Then again my cousins are male or ugly so I guess they're safe.

    What's the betting Andrey Menezes is not his real name, he's never been to Northern Ireland and he's actually Nigerian?

    What?

    No, my dear. in LOS it's mostly men from overseas send thai girls money. lot lot.

    this woman wanted to find a new husband with money so she used the same system. Unfortunately, like many men contacting Thai ladies, she got ripped off.

    c'est la vie.
    Karma

    Whatever.

    Already 50, yet still stupid. Sad reality. When is she going to grow up? Can't be like Peter Pan all the time.

    I supposed they picked NI to place the hook, netting this gullible moron, because its very unusualness would lend verisimilitude to the scam.
    Nice touch.
    In some ways I admire these con guys but, honestly, this mark was really fucking dumb.

    Thais are the perfect 'mark' as their greed and arrogance makes them vulnerable.

    Of course, I am not gleefully happy she got scammed, nor anyone for that matter.

    Many, many Thai women, scam foreign men, without a flicker of remorse. The difference is in their 'technique'... *some, Thai women prey on vulnerable, lonely old men... these niggers prey on greedy, lonely old women...

    Same same.. but different... heh..

    I believe that these scams [per the reference of this thread] directed towards Thai girls have become nearly commonplace amongst the chat, dating, social media circles - same MO applies....anonymous false scammer online bio/page lures Thai ladies of any financial standing with loving sweet talk and "free" gifts of supposedly exceeding value - all with a twisted and manipulating game.

    Many fall for it, as to be expected.
    Just in the last couple months, I've known a couple of instances where friends/acquaintances of family/friends who have sought advice regarding this same MO and activity - seems to be a trend.

    Naturally, more worldly ladies will write it off for what it is. But unfortunately, too many others get hooked [even if they naively have to inquire] in and whatnot....
