It was a dark day in Jomtien for a man with a dark complexion. Pattaya Police Colonel Supatee the acting commander of Pattaya Police held a press conference to announce the result of a joint investigation between Pattaya Police and The Chonburi Provincial Transnational Crime Suppression Unit. Netted in the operation was a Nigerian scammer who was just minding his own business as most Nigerians are want to do which is conning gullible people to part with their hard earned cash.
The man with the dark complexion gave the authorities a distinctly black look when they turned up at his rented apartment in Tepprasit Soi 7 in South Pattaya. A search of the room turned up incriminating computer evidence as well as 5 bank books in the names of accomplices that were used to cash the dodgy donations.
The scam he was running was a familiar one in this Internet age. He posed as a pilot and posted pictures of another guy on a Facebook page, he was apparently a bit shy to post his own pictures.
He lured victims mostly gullible Thai women with a story that they could take a share of a large sum of money which had been seized by Thai Customs.
The authorities are publicising the story with the Thai media in the hope that duped victims who have been scammed by this piece of African excrement will come forward. At the moment they can only hold him for residing in The Kingdom of Thailand with an out of date visa.
