Tourist police warn Thai women: Your white handsome man is really a dark skinned scammer!

The Thai tourist police have produced Facebook posted warning for Thai women about Romance Scams.

 

One of the frames shows a cartoon white man who they say is handsome and rich.

 

But towards the end the police say that he is more than likely dark skinned and after your money.

 

The advice says that Thai women in middle age and middle class are the most likely targets of the scammers. They say they want marriage and claim to have sent gifts that need payments to be made so the presents can be released by customs.

 

The advice says: ":Don't be a victim - don't believe sweet words".

 

Don't send personal details such as documents to them.

 

The advice comes under the banner of the tourist police with the slogan: Smart Tourist Police...Your First Friend.

"Dark skinned"?

 

"Dark Skinned"?

 

Could there be anything worse than a "dark-skinned" man?

 

Run, Thai women, Run!!!

What does this have to do with the tourist Police or tourists? The romance scams are not done by tourists or against tourists. Nothing to do with tourists or the branch of the police that deals with tourists, tourist police dont investigate or prosecute these crimes. If police are trying to get a message out to Thai people why put it on the tourist police facebook page, thats not visited by Thais.

More accurate, the dark skinned teerak is the scammer.

 

Surely just a production delay, will be released next week.

A dark skinned man posing as an honest, serious, white skinned man looking for love and whose only intentions are to sweet talk money out of the pockets/bank accounts of lonely, gullible women.

 

Don't be offended by the terms/words they use to describe the useless, lazy scammig scum. Fact is, a lot of these internet scammers are "dark shinned" scamming scum. It's like saying "a lot of the sex tourists who come here are white skinned middle aged and elderly men".

Thai ladies being scammed by farangs?  Well, well, well.

seems quite the stretch that the tourist police get involved in this; thought their primary missive was to 'protect' tourists; here they are protecting thais

[stanleycoin 2,116]

Is this for real. 

Watch out for those naughty foreigners there are just after your money.

Loneliness is a route to depression in some people, 

having a partner is a way to remove that feeling, 

I can understand how some people get caught, 

parasites are everywhere ,

Why dont the Thai women just do a Video Call first?..

Remove the doubt..maybe she might even like what she sees..lol

Extremely odd release from the so called 'Tourist' Police.

On the contrary, the deputy commissioner of the tourist police IS investigating these crimes. The remit of the tourist police is far reaching.

Silly you... they are there to negotiate the deal between the Thais and the bewildered tourist; not to protect and serve.  Very handy!
