January 2005. It begins as a friendly greeting and where in are you from.
I told the gentleman from Malaysia I was from a State near NY and surprised he explains to me that he has a sister who is a nurse and will be attending school in New York City. He then asks me about the cost of housing in the city. I told him I would give him my e-mail address and we could discuss this. He insists that I meet his sister. I tell him to meet me at my hotel. He is insistent and I hop a taxi and we go to his home. I meet his uncle and his aunt. They serve me lunch. Rice and beef w/gravy.
Sister is not here and so uncle is going to teach my how to play Black Jack. Not only teach me how to play but how to cheat Las Vegas. I tell them I don't gamble. I know that these peope are up to no good. I don't know how to get out of here or where I am. I sit down and start taking lessons on how to cheat at Black Jack. He shows me how the dealer can reveal the next card. We are a team now the 3 of us. Me the uncle and the nephew. Now we have to scam somebody. So the uncle calls Madam so so who will play to reap more winnings from him. Shortly later in comes this Madam. Now I know I'm the mark. I tell them I'm not in this game. The nephew takes over and starts playing against the Madam. He wins and losses. Then there is a good hold card revealed and the betting starts. The nephew is out of money and asks me to throw in a Thousand Baht. I tell them I am not in the game get up and I walk out. The nephew follows me and I tell him to get me taxi and take me back to Robinson Dept. Store. He takes me back and I pick up the tab for Taxi 100 Baht. He wants to know what happened why I did not scam this lady. I had nothing to say to him. End of story.
February 2007 Same think happens to me at the Weekend Market. A falang this time. Has a sister and he wants to know cost of living in NYC. I tell him "how should I know" and he cursed at me. I walked away.
Unbelievable. The scammers see me coming.
