Thread: Warnings issued after 'online beggar' in Thailand found tucking into luxurious hotpot

A Facebook page has warned kind-hearted Thais to think twice before remitting donations to an “unemployed” man who begged online for Bt40 (S$1.67) so he could withdraw “B100”, as he had been spotted dining on a luxury shabu meal.
The warning was issued by Khao Hao V4 page.

The man posted on some Facebook groups that he had been unemployed for a week and he had only Bt60 left in his account. He needed someone to remit Bt40 to his account to make it Bt100 so he could withdraw cash to buy a meal.

The Facebook page posted the picture of the man with blurred face in a shabu shop. The page said it had investigated and found that about Bt27,000 was credited to the man’s account in 18 days after the post.

Meh.
His original plea could still have been genuine.
What would many people do when having only 60 baht and suddenly finding 27000 in their bank? Go and have a nice meal.

I suspect that it's not quite like the fat-legged German scrounger.

He's broke people.gave him.money, he went out eat.
With 27000 bahtt in the bank he"s still broke. Nuthin going on here

Having been banned from several Asian countries, he crowd funded himself to Africa and hitched up with an African woman in a remote village.
Can't make this stuff up.
