Cautious of men approaching you on second road (Scam)
This is the 3rd time this has happened to me in Thailand / Pattaya. I am aware of this scam, but want to let others know who are travelling to Pattaya. There are guys approaching on second road next to beach road asking you have belly fat (bhaiya aap ka bhi bad gaya hain) is how they start off. When you hear these words do not engage with them. Usually they will tell you that these herbs helped my father lose weight and write it down, take you to 7/11 to buy honey and then to a shady herb shop which is going to be skyrocketing prices.
They always approach if you’re alone and also pretending to be tourists. They’re probably from Pakistan or Bangladesh. I have attached a photo where this happened. I tried to stop and take a picture of them, they’re usually clever and track back making sure there is no one looking or something.
I have made another post about something similar on beach road, not seen this happening on second road.
The police are tracking them down, they used to be on Mike shopping mall before, i am just posting this so maybe someone somewhere will read this and not fall for this scam.
