My sister in law has been exchanging texts since January with one Prince Nwachukwu. His profile shows a white guy. Shortish hair. He claims to be in the US army serving in Kabul, and is from San Jose, a widower with a child. Now out of the blue he tells her he wants to send 1.5M usd, to build a house a d buy a car, and he'll come to Thailand so she can care for the child. Well we laughed when we heard that, because she's not the maternal type. Then this morning she calls Mrs Mosha. He's sent the money, but she has to pay the bank costs, can we lend her the money? Sopha said no. So I went on FB and checked him out. Apart from a non military hair cut. All of his friends are black and in Nigeria. All the people he is following are Thai ladies. Hopefully I've put a stop to this attempt.

If you do a Google reverse image search on the Prince's Facebook page's images you find he is Mike Hobbs from Florida: tendersingles.ch/en/users/mike%20hobbsOr possibly Mason Hibbs who lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. (Can't post link.) Actually, the Prince has done pretty well. Most of his images don't appear elsewhere on the web.

Well the proof hasn't worked, and she's going round the tambon asking everyone she can think of to lend her 38,000 baht. Fortunately she's a known bad risk, or the people know of the scam.

One of the reasons she is struggling to borrow it, is because she doesn't repay loans.

Sounds like Isaan Princess syndrome to me, dont worry lub some white knight farang sucker will be along in a minute to rescue you from a life of poverty, put you on a pedestal and worship the ground you walk on, the ground he paid for but cant own, , you gotta love them.

One of the reasons she is struggling to borrow it, is because she doesn't repay loans. I just received an email seemingly from "analistarh.gt@ars.com.ec", but different reply address: "You have a donation of $4,800,000.00 USD, i won the America lottery worth 40 million U.S Dollars in America and decided to donate a portion of it to five lucky people and charity homes in memory of my late wife who died of cancer. Contact me for more details at: --email removed--" I wouldn't know what to do with that type of money. Shall I forward to you to pass to your relative?

I received a phone call last week.
Lady with Indian accent "Sir we need to talk to you urgently about the vehicle accident you caused last week".
Oldie "The one where I killed 3 people. I've been waiting for you to call"
