Posted: Sun Oct 09, 2005 3:23 pm Post subject: Beware Fortune Tellers Who Dont Know What Day It Is! |
|
|
| We have a group of alleged fortune tellers around, they are full of crap, they are tossers who you should tell pish off as soon as you spot them, you will not miss them - Headgear is the sign! These guys come round every now and again but dont last long, You could always say you are linked to the employment department - that would get rid pretty quick. Our very own Soul monsta got rid of one of these boys quite sharply earlier today! |

Jw as you said
One just approached me in your place saying he could see in my face
Im going to be very prosperous next year blaa blaa blaa
Seriously folks these guys are a pain they won’t leave you alone
THEY WILL TELL YOU THE BIGGEST PILE OF TOFF IN THE WORLD
ASK TO READ YOUR PALM
Tell you every thing you want in life will come true,
Evan do illusions which can be very convincing.
They are very persistent,
they want your money
DO NOT OFFER THEM MONEY
DO NOT GIVE THEM MONEY
IF YOU HAVE A CAMERA HANDY TAKE THEIR PHOTO AND HAND IT OVER TO THE TOURIST POLICE
Do not entertain them you will end up out of pocket
If you are in a bar complain to the management
Tell them very impolitely to F##k OFF!
or maybe tell them that you also can read fortunes and that there is a lot of pain coming to them very very shortly, infact so shortly i can feel it welling up inside me now
They may have been booted out of Bkk, Khao sarn is a popular haunt for these Scammers
Don’t be scammed _________________ "I don't often agree with the RSPCA as i believe it is an animals duty to be on my plate at supper time" |

They've been around in HH off and on for ages.
I always found that a polite, but firm "no thank you" was enough. Maybe they've got a bit more aggressive now? Tell more.
On the same sort of note, do the little flower sellers still come around? I always found that the most abhorrent form of selling in this town. Anyone who gives to them needs a serious reality check.
Don't know your problems, JW but I bet you're more than able to get rid of the fortune tellers. The flower children just preyed on customers' emotions and to think that it all went back to the twats who were running them. I had them fall asleep on my bar at 3am after the amphetamines they'd been given wore off. You better bet, they were quickly rounded up by the bosses, who were definitely barred from my old place. _________________ "I spent a lot of my money on booze, birds and fast cars - the rest I just squandered".

I've had them in a few times in the past, and have seen them around again in the last day or so. They have learned to avoid my place as a firm "you're not very good, or you would realise your fortune lies far away from here " seems to do the trick.
While everybody needs to make a baht somehow, these scammers are close to the bottom of the pile. Spend your hard earned on something important - drinks, food, drinks, company and drinks.  |

Agree with what has been said about the fortune tellers. If they'd be so good why did they approach me and a friend of mine the other day, couldn't they foresee we didn't want them.
About the flower girls, they are everywhere around and probably there'll be more as the tourist season starts. I can't understand why so many people I know support their bosses by buying from them and why do the bar owners let them in so freely and constantly. Some of them have "light" fingers as well. _________________ 知彼知己, 胜乃不殆; 知天知地, 胜乃可全

| The light fingered thing is a fact, one of our regular posters had a problem with that a while ago, i guess he still remembers! Some of the flower kids are a real pain in the arse, one of the girls in particular , but you got to be careful cause you dont know what they could say to the men in brown for instance, i have thrown them out before and been a little worried about what they might fabricate. |

I was told that the World Cup Final would be between Finland and Scotland with Scotland to win 2-1. Of course I believed it and bet a huge some. I now believe it might have been a scam.
Surely anybody with a cotton crash helmet should be believed. _________________

I have only just noticed this. JW you should be ashamed of yourself speaking like this at 3:27PM.
Anway to add my bit. Since this topic was raised I have myself been approached. Usally my approach with them would be to play a game and waste their time before telling them that I had no money.
This time though I did not have the time for the game and politely told them to leave me alone because I had business to discuss. One of them then turned to me and said "Oh thank you sir you will have the very best of luck". It was aimed at me more like a curse than a wish of good luck. Unfortuneately I did not have my camera at hand. _________________
