What girl would ever suspect her nice, farang boyfriend?
A German man was arrested yesterday in Bangkok’s Prawet district after several women went to the police for being lured into his cheap iPhone deal.
Bogdan Gerik, 40, reportedly confessed to police that he took his victims’ hearts and their money, but it was all a scam.
Several women told the police they got to know Bogdan through dating sites. Smitten and having already hopped in bed with the man, they trusted him enough to transfer thousands of baht as Bogdan claimed he could get them iPhones from Germany at a much lower price.
But after taking their money, he never did.
We’re not sure how many women or how many iPhones were involved, but somehow nearly THB3 million was transferred to his bank account.
According to the investigation, Bogdan arrived Thailand 14 years ago and has been living in the kingdom illegally while working as an extra. One of his recent jobs was for Hong Hoon, the popular horror film which recently launched theaters, Khaosod reported.
