Cambodia was not Mike Scallen’s first target. He has a history here in Ethiopia.
On March 13, 2011 Mike Scallan fled Ethiopia with at least 4,000 Euros of other peoples money. This text will outline what is known about the situation.
Upon arrival in Ethiopia Mike repeatedly attempted to coerce the British Embassy to pay for his lodging based on a pretext that he was poor, a story betrayed by his lavish lifestyle and clothing.
Either way, Mike managed to use this story to stay in the Winston Churchill hotel for a number of weeks without paying, on the promise to the owner that the Embassy would ultimately pay. Eventually, the owner of the Winston Churchill (Mrs. Azeb) kicked him out, and seized his passport until he paid for his room. When Mike did pay Mrs. Azeb back many months later, he did so with other peoples money, in order to retrieve his passport and flee the country.
For the next three month, Mike stayed at the Wutma Hotel, located on Mundy Street. During this time Mike grew into the position of informal manager of the Wutma, routinely changing money for tourists on the black market, booking tours, and generally giving advice to build trust.
Over time, Mike managed to built enough trust to borrow a considerable amount of money from foreigners and locals alike. At the time Mike fled the country, he had the following funds of other people:
2,500 US dollars from a pair of Indians for money changing
500 Euros from a pair of Finish tourists for money changing
250 US dollars from an American to hold a birthday party for her at the Wutma
25,500 Brr from Wutma staff members lent to him as a personal favour
2,500 Brr from myself, a UK citizen, for a deposit on a bike rental
This is not an exhausted list, this is just what is known at the current time. It is very likely that he has other money from local friends and tourists who do not yet know Mike has fled.
True to form, Mike even lied to the taxi driver who dropped him off at the airport (a friend he had known for months), saying that he was just checking out flights, and would pay him when he got back.
Mike has also left a behind a fiancee- the second girl he has been engaged to in the last five months.
It is believed at this time by the parties involved that Mike is a professional con-man, who systematically moves from country to country, establishing himself locally, in order to build trust and borrow funds.
Though we accept that prosecution of Michael Scallan will be impossible unless he returns to Ethiopia, we hope that this note will serve as a warning to the world that Michael Scallen is a conman, thief, and cannot be trusted.
A duplicate of this letter has been deposited with the Addis Ababa Police and UK Embassy in Addis Ababa.

That you may think Vlad, but some very nice, learned folk on here, think my name is Edwin

From Ethiopia to Cambodia, he sure gets around!

[Busta_Rhodesian]

Anyone know whatever became of him? A follow up on this story would be great. It's amazing to see his wacky ways he escapes the various countries he scams.

[Alex]

He might have "disappeared", but unlike with Walker et. al., nobody has been missing him / looking for him? It wouldn't surprise me.

Mike Scallan is about to return to the UK. He has just been refused to rent a room from someone who Googled his name and found info about his scamming behavior.

He is in Phnom Penh trying to go to the UK.

[Bong Burgundy]

He was last spotted in Koh Kong. A police report was filed, but police reluctance and COVID seemed to put a halt to things.

Fucking Mickey Scamllen. He can't stay hidden forever. Like Vlad's herpes, he keeps coming back.

It'd be funny to rent him a room by securing a deposit and his passport, then tipping off a few of his creditors and the cops , then sit back and enjoy the show
