Surviving in Thailand can be a person who knows how to navigate life’s twists and turns. Such a person never makes major life mistakes, always on the alert. But if life does not teach a person anything – such a person can be cheated. The enterprising Thais easily get caught by all kinds of suckers. Fraudsters in Thailand are always on the lookout for easy prey!
Local people are engaged in all kinds of business, but their business is not always quite legal and legitimate. Many of them are willing to get rich at the expense of foreign tourists. But it is not only Thais who do business in Thailand. Here they willingly go Russian gangsters, from other countries of the former USSR, from Europe, – all with the sole purpose of corrupting those wishing to buy some real estate in this fabulous corner.
Divorce when buying real estate
.
Foreigners love to invest in Thai real estate. But foreigners often have to work hard not to outsmart themselves. After all, some Thais know how to deftly trick tourists into money and real estate (read more on How to buy a house in Thailand without falling for crooks), the local police sometimes do not even pay attention to these cases. In addition, it is also the money invested in the Thai economy. And as “bait” for gullible foreigners are charming Thai women. And such divorce in Thailand – a common thing.

Divorce of pensioners

And the easiest prey for the Thai women are elderly foreign Pensioners in Thailand (Hua Hin – city of pensioners). They can’t resist them. And they can not even imagine that they become an ordinary financial sponsor for the beauties. The Thai women know thousands of ways to get literally all their money from the gullible old men. And they do not even notice how they find themselves on the street with nothing. And the street has its own laws, very cruel. And if you do not find anyone with a soft and kind heart, who will understand and help, then the person may not survive (Fortunately, Thais are quite kind people). And a significant help to unfortunate foreigners, deceived by the local Thais, the police can provide. They keep track of such poor people and return them to their homeland.
MMM in Thailand
.
Money can ruin anyone. And if you can get it for free – why not try, especially since this has worked out in Europe? The scam is called simple and uncomplicated – MMM. Now this enrichment virus is also available in electronic form, spread all over the Internet. But this is for the advanced – the Internet. And in places where there is none, particularly in the backcountry of Thailand, there are numerous “offices” of MMM, often without Mavrodi’s knowledge. Just as in Russia, Ukraine and other countries, MMM in Thailand is robbing ordinary people of their last money.
Note.Who is in the loop, tell me if MMM is relevant now after the death of Mavrodi?
Sale of dietary supplements
.
Fraudsters also play on people’s understandable desire to be healthy. And while a large number of really good nutritional supplements are sold at fabulous prices, they sell empty shells that act as placebos. If the pill itself contains nothing but calcium or sodium… And people are hooked on this, willingly buying “miracle elixirs”. It is also necessary to be careful at the market. The Thais recognize an inexperienced tourist in a second, and sell the goods at times higher prices, or unscrupulously counting and cheating.
There are countless ways to cheat in Thailand. And although we have repeatedly told how tourists are cheated in Thailand, people repeatedly fall on the same rake. In the fabulous wonderland of Thailand one should always keep their ear to the ground so as not to be spoiled by the ubiquitous crooks.
