Default Jewel scam in Bangkok

Travellers to Bangkok beware. I was scammed by Yindee on 15 Sep 2007! Only myself to blame for not being aware of this website before my trip. Don't make the same mistake as I. I can't post URLs as I haven't accumulate enough post, please search under 2bangkok.com and Yindee.

Why don't you relate the whole experience of yours?

You certainly have enough to do that right? Why do we need the URL in the 1st place?

For me, I only went for food and shop for food. At most buy clothes. As for jewels and gold related stuffs, still trust our local shops.

These type of scam shops are found all over the World even in Hong Kong, China, Myammar, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and even on our own shores.

If you are a foreigner and go to Lucky Plaza or Sim Lim Square to buy electronic equippments, you are likely to be riped off. Its the same everywhere.

I been to the "Inner City" in Beijing where they charge the locals 10 yuan for entry but for foreigners like me, they charge 25 yuan. Its common that they will ripe off foreigners.

When you take domestic flights in China, there are also 2 different rate for the locals and foreigners.

In the 1st place, this is a forum space and TS should have some decent wit to share what actually happened and not post some of "his only" VAGUE view. Asking us to read some lame URL when he does not have the inkling effort to say something here.

Look this is something quite tarnishing to a country here and we are not even considered their own and only God would know if he is a thai or not. It is simply some kind of irresponsible posting if I might add - should have more wit and less nit here,:disgust2:

PS> Moderator::::If you are reading this, I am asking that this thread be removed if TS does not share the actual events. This is more like a smear campaign to me than anything gainful. Remember we should be friendly and tactful with our Asean neighbours no point igniting some unnecessary fires here.:handsup:

Default Jewel scam in Bangkok

Hi People,

I am sorry about my post not being in-depth enough. At that time, I was fumming mad with the episode and can't get my mind settled to write the details, but I need to tell fellow travellers to be beware and I believed that site is true as I asked around about this. Just that I found out too late.

Also I was finding venues to get re-dress and was busy doing so, thus hardly got the time to come in to elaborate. I just got in now and wrote this......

Lastly, I cannot PM mrleech nor REPLY sgelite because it says I need to have 10 posting to be able to do either.

I will try to consolidate my experience to share that is if there is no object from anyone. I thank you for the opportunity to share so that people are aware and not be taken in.

TS, I think we can all understand your frustrations but as the saying goes 2 heads' better than 1. I do not think that it had ever occurred to you that we could help you further had you shared.

Anyway, as we still do not know the extent of your incident still....we will just have to take a backseat here and await your account. I hope you will realise the seriousness of what you are posting and hope that you will have a proper redress soon too.:mellow3:
