help for a distressed woman
Can anybody help a distressed cambodian woman in France? She has relationship problem and want to go back Cambodia. She don't speak french can't go anywhere. She need help to get documents and to travel. She speak English and Kmer.
If you can help, it's a free flight to Paris and back from Cambodia or Thailand.

That's the third Cambodian woman in France in distress. Must be something in the water there?
Or maybe evil Frenchmen?

How does this 419 scam work? Didn't Joon contact someone who was running one of these?
The promise of a free flight to and from France from Cambodia is really weird. A Cambodian woman in France who also speaks English and who has access to thousands of dollars for flight tickets wouldn't really need a stranger to fly from Cambodia to assist her.
Do they tell you they have bought your flight ticket to help this woman but you need to send them advance money for the taxes?
Or, like someone has suggested before, do they say "Oh please carry this bag of her life-saving personal items on the flight with you"?

I did exchange quite a few emails with the previous one, who vanished after sending me pressing emails about her situation and giving me a bunch of information which I passed to a Khmer support association in France for them to check it out. I didn't hear back from the association or that poster so far.
And I'm not gonna involve my family in France in making calls to the number I was given. The association probably thought too that my email was a scam too or something.

Both Joon and logos tried to help. logos wrote the following in another thread:
100% fake crap either way, maybe the mods would like to stop approving these threads? It's the same fishy story as earlier. If it was real they would call the police in France, then leave the country and enjoy a happy ending.

There could be some creative reason in the end where you have to send them dosh because problems arise in last minute and oh no you're not going to get your free flight if you don't pay half.logos wrote:Why can't they help. If you're for real give more information. I once wasted my time replying to a very similar message children involved, messy situation, money needed blah blah.

Also weird-
If you google "sotom1881" the only results are this thread and a couple of spammy T-shirt selling threads on a Vietnamese website posted in the last 24 hours.

They are indeed creative. I wasn't asked financial aid but maybe the scam would trigger if someone in France was making contact there.
That's an interesting and very deceptive scam though because it's elaborate and pull at Cambodians' heart strings.
It's not broken English, it's plausible and it's Khmer-flavored. The names are typical Khmer and it uses the trope of the recently wed local woman in distress at the hands of her abusive foreign husband.
Did Pedros cover it in his 419 scam frontpage article?

Do they send a photo of the distressed woman? Is she hot? She should be hot.

In the photo she's probably crying with a runny nose. That's not hot.gavinmac wrote:Do they send a photo of the distressed woman? Is she hot? She should be hot.
Unless they do a pic of her in her happier days to show what you could win.
I tried asking for her Facebook, in vain.gavinmac wrote:Do they send a photo of the distressed woman? Is she hot? She should be hot.
No idea if she was hot or not but I recall being told she had a couple kids in tow or was pregnant or something, which kind of spoiled the potential fun. Passports confiscated etc, an unlikely messy situation that sounded like it was more in Kuweit than in France.
In any case social services are pretty good in France so if this were a real story, contacting them is probably the best advice to give.
