Beware Agoda and the Nana
I am far from naive, but I have dealt with Agoda for years, they know who I am as I am the only person in the world with my name. Why would they question my bonafides now?
I have travelled much and never been scammed before on my CC, but it doesnt matter. My bank looks after me and they will always refund the money, this was just a warning about the Nana. Ten years in Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam and never a problem with the credit card. And the first time in the Nana in 40 years, its certainly handy enough.
The takeaway was nice, I put her through a gruelling sexual ordeal but she was happy enough. I posted this knowing that the usual morons on Khmer 440 would give me shit, you guys should lighten up and enjoy life more like I do.
Five trips overseas on the dole on the last fifteen months and I picked up 15K on my two lithium stocks in the three weeks while I was away. Cue the losers in Cambodia choking on their 50 cent beers. Ha ha ha, sometimes its good to be old and on the Bob Hawke surf team.
Off to school now with you, I have a busy week sacking the caretaker and talking to the fraud squad about sending him to jail.

I find it beyond belief that Agoda's bank somehow knew that you card was about to be compromised & shut it down before the fact. It's right out of Minority Report !

It's good to know that for your next bangkok trip you will be able to afford a better hotel than nana whore mongers shithole.ken svay wrote:Five trips overseas on the dole on the last fifteen months and I picked up 15K on my two lithium stocks in the three weeks while I was away.
Not overdoing it, you could try the Sheraton, it isn't that far and they are quite relaxed regarding their visitor policy.

...... & one doesn't have to worry about there being a quart on jism in their bedspreads. Definitiely don't bring a black-light there. I'm sure the ceiling is nasty. One doesn't have to afford anything. There's 25 hotels in BKK around 1500B much much better than the Nana within a km.Barang_doa_slae wrote:It's good to know that for your next bangkok trip you will be able to afford a better hotel than nana whore mongers shithole.ken svay wrote:Five trips overseas on the dole on the last fifteen months and I picked up 15K on my two lithium stocks in the three weeks while I was away.

^^^^^ Huh ? I've stayed at the the SGS maybe 10X (on points). You need a card to get above the Pool, Gym, & Sala on floor four. What you don't need is to do the 'walk of shame'. The Sukhumvit elevators bypass the lobby and have no security. You can go directly to your floor. Best pool in BKK IMO too. ps: Oh you mean going down. I don't know a hotel that tries to prevent people leaving. Some apts in BKK do that, hotel elevators don't IME & I've stayed at >50 in BKK.

Stop the presses ! No doubt the "fraud squad"'s priorities will be totally reviewed in the light of that new conspiracy !

Ken svay because more a sad caricature of himself as every day passes. What arrogance to think 'agoda knows him' and that he is the only person with his name in the world. Face it ken. You're a sad lonely old man living on the dole in Australia who is clearly growing senile and whose only thing to look forward to is the occasional paid hooker in south east Asia.

I found another one in the UK, unless you were living there and on the electoral roll in the early 2000s.ken svay wrote:I am far from naive, but I have dealt with Agoda for years, they know who I am as I am the only person in the world with my name.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Maybe he shat in the bed and it is the charge for a new mattress?scobienz wrote:The $147 charge is likely a security deposit or something that is just blocked, but shows as a transaction. It will be reversed in due course. It usually takes 3-4 weeks for it to be reversed. It's no big deal.
Great thread this! Obviously not sad or lonely, having a great time. My mate whose wedding I went to in Uganda got scammed the same way at the Speke Hotel in Kampala the same way on his second visit. It is probably one of the most common scams. Would anyone send any provider a copy of their passport or CC details, I doubt it!
My bank knew I was going to some of the dodgiest countries in the world, so its no problem. Love you guys, so easy to wind up!!!
Me so busy today with my free medical care and my bodycorp business. Three bad incidents since I have been back, so many cop cars tonight. Lucky I printed those business cards, thanks Hanky.What a lot of work for me for no money, but it is never boring.
Could have been worse, could have been a teacher or a fucking Belgian.The butt of everyones jokes!
Lithium stocks going right off this morning, this is like the boom days of the sixties in Australia.

If the whole thing was no problem, why did you post about it like a panicky pensioner who doesn't understand the ways of the newfangled world?
I thought it was funny Scobby that I would be scammed for so little. Why would you fuck around for 150 bucks, I don't panic over chump change like an impoverished expat. It's the my first time to be scammed like this, its amusing. The bank will always stop the payment, the cost of fraud is why we pay 20% for credit card debt.
You guys are quite pathetic really and never see the big picture. The lithium boom is quite amazing, its like the nickel boom in the sixties on a smaller scale but still quite impressive. When you wake up and are $2500 richer than the day before it puts a bit of spring in the old step!
And my real interest, the body corporate committee business is keeping me really busy. I am the big cheese now and it looks like I have the caretaker on the run, we will save 80K once he is forced to resign or go to jail for fraud. I love it, being able to read contracts and pull them apart is not so difficult for me, people in FNQ are dumb as fuck.
And maybe the family will get the visa after some clever politicking by me, spent about ten K with Raz but he came through last week and I am very appreciative. Life is good!
And you Scobby, any bright spots in your miserable whinging fucking life?
