I have never heard of this guy before, but this very good Post feature article paints an intriguing picture of Ray C Dam. Does anyone have any stories about him?
Telesales could learn a lot from him.
Inside the bizarre world of Ray C Dam
A Cambodian-born US citizen and a network of ‘ambassadors’ are behind a shadowy organisation that has left in its wake a trail of fraud and deception across the globe – a trail that began in Phnom Penh.
For 12 years, what now serves as a Daun Penh district rubbish collection site was the nerve centre of a network of fraudsters that hawked a bizarre piece of modern mythology across the globe.
Once a luxury villa on Street 240, the present-day dump is just a stone’s throw from the British ambassador’s residence. New Zealand and British corporate records show that it was home to a Banteay Meanchey-born US citizen named Ray Chhat Dam who turns 67 on Saturday and Australian Keith Francis Scott, 71, since at least 1998.
The pair, both of whom styled themselves “His Excellency”, claimed to be chairman and chief of cabinet, respectively, of a secretive UN organisation named the Office of International Treasury Control (OITC). It, in fact, has no connection to the global body whatsoever.
In December 2010, the villa was raided following an investigation ordered by Prime Minister Hun Sen. Dam and an associate named Soush Saroeun were arrested along with two foreigners. In the days that followed, Dam and Saroeun were charged with multiple counts of fraud, having forged a letter of credit from HSBC for $100 million as well as claiming to have been advisers to late Senate President Chea Sim. The two foreigners were never identified, but OITC chief of cabinet Scott fled the country shortly after the arrests.

Ah, the good Dr Keith Scott, a well known scammer across the Pacific and SE Asia. He tried a half-arsed scam in a country I was working and when we informed him and his associates of such they threatened to take us to court. We of course ignored them and nothing came of it. Some years later I ran into him and his associates outside Dingoes Bar and queried him about it. He became rather defensive and left with his goons soon after
