In Topic: Counterfeit Money

Yesterday, 12:37

I rarely come across fake notes in my own deposits.   What I typically see in these situations -and again, it's not an everyday thing... maybe 3-4 times a year out of pretty much going to the bank 364 days a year- are foreigners, both falang (origin unknown) and South Asian looking fellows, as well as Thais that appear Indian and or southern origin attempting to make deposits in small amounts mixed in with real bills.   Add to that, I think I've seen Chinese mainland types doing this too.  To me it looks like they are testing their work.   I have always seen them get their bills back, kind of like a 'sorry, bad luck, eh?' kind of thing.   If that's indeed what they are doing, they have a pretty good environment (in legal terms) of testing their work and getting better at what they do.

p.s.  you should always be watching tellers.   They can make mistakes just as easily as anyone else, and I have come across a handful of dishonest ones over the years.   The most common thing they do is skim the 'over the deposit' notes.   Say you are depositing what you think is 100k but is actually 101k because your 8 year old nephew counted it.   Well the teller keeps it in her head and skims it later when she is making change for herself.

See it at the banks often.   All they do is stamp the fake notes as fake.  Surely it shold be a bigger deal than that.

In Topic: So What Was Your Very First Home Computer ?

Texas Instruments TI-99-4a when I was 8 or 9.   Used a state of the art (at that time) tape recorder to load programs.   Average loading time was 10-20 minutes.

In Topic: Farang - Farang Couples

2012-05-26 22:34:19

Most of the ones I know are Russian, although I have met a couple of misc. nationalities as well.   Far fewer problems (at least on the surface) compared to mixed couples.   Have yet to have a farang-farang couple come to me for a bridge loan, rarely see them having public fights or misunderstandings.

Ordering a few today.   Haven't been in an accident in a decade but would love to have it as backup.  Anyone have any experience with the Thai heat and slightly more direct sun burning these cameras out?
