Well known expat Ned has been mired in an epic battle with his landlord, who evicted Ned and is allegedly holding some or all of Ned's stuff.
Ned got desperate and was willing to pay someone more powerful than the landlord to convince the landlord to give back Ned's stuff. That's the Cambodian way.
Expat James Whitlow (or Whidlow or Whildlow) claimed to have just such a high ranking police contact.
Ned apparently gave James Whitlow $1,500 to arrange such high ranking police assistance.
Ned got scammed.
Ouch.
Where Ned even got $1500, I have no idea.
