我会尽量简短地说明，如果大家有兴趣，我很乐意提供更多细节。 2022年3月，我母亲在泰国购买了一套公寓后被骗。她只想过一个简单而平静的退休生活。我之前对这家公司做过相当多的调查，我们在律师面前签署了合同等等。一切看起来都没问题，这家公司已经成立了好几年，CEO也没有任何不良声誉。我花了一段时间才意识到这是一家空壳公司，CEO没有使用她的真名，她是某个著名骗子的妻子，而她的父亲是泰国前教育部长。他也是国会议员，而且担任了很长时间。因此，没有人被逮捕。我知道我通过法律途径胜诉的机会很小，因此我正在考虑通过媒体/技术手段来抗争。更糟糕的是，我母亲不是唯一的受害者，还有成千上万的受害者：美国人、中国人、韩国人、俄罗斯人、英国人、澳大利亚人、日本人、德国人、法国人（和我们一样），以及一些泰国人（可能还有更多）。这起诈骗案的价值在2000万到5000万美元之间，而且我没有理由相信它不会再次发生。可悲的是，我母亲是一名工厂工人，刚满60岁，即使我在法国担任软件工程师，我认为我也无法快速攒够钱给她一个体面的退休生活。我不想放弃她，我花了无数个小时试图追踪骗子是如何逃脱的，因此我才了解到幕后是谁在操控。我的两个问题是： 1. 如果你处在我的境地，你能否想到任何创造性的想法，通过网络来打这场仗？并尽可能地扩大影响力？我的理由如下：房地产不是流动资产，在国外建立这样的欺诈行为很困难，而他的关系网/权力依赖于泰国。因此，损害他的声誉可能会促使他坐下来谈判。如果不行，我至少可以拯救未来的一些潜在受害者。我考虑过的一个策略是，尽可能多地曝光他的名字/公司/品牌。然后雇佣一些人假装是潜在投资者，让他们在网上发现他是个骗子后放弃这笔交易。这个想法是灌输怀疑的毒药，让他想知道他在不知情的情况下损失了多少钱。 2. 你认识任何记者、大使或内容创作者吗？他们拥有来自这些国家/地区的受众，并且愿意撰写关于此事的文章？我可以提供无数的硬证据、文件和我自己做过的OSINT（公开情报）。我愿意支付给任何愿意花30分钟查看这些文件的人，并且只有当他们认为证据确凿并愿意曝光这个有权势的家族时，才会发布。我母亲是一名工厂工人，她工作了一辈子，我们没有任何备用方案。我没有要求任何金钱，但有成千上万的受害者，而骗子可以继续逍遥法外，因为大多数受害者选择保持沉默，因为泰国关于诽谤的法律具有压制性。

I will try to keep this short, happy to give more details if people are interested.In March 2022, my mother got scammed after she bought an apartment in Thailand. She just wanted to have a simple and peaceful retirement.I had done a decent amount of research on the company, we signed the contract in front of a lawyer, etc.Everything seemed OK, the company was created several years, the CEO did not have any bad reputation.It took me a while to realize it was a shell company, the CEO was not using her real name, she was the wife of a famous scammer and her father is a former minister of education in Thailand. He has been a long time member of parliament as well.Hence, why nobody ever got in jail.I know I have little chance of winning legally, thus I am considering fighting through the press / technology.Even worse, my mother is not alone, there are thousands of victims : Americans, Chinese, Koreans, Russians, British, Australians, Japanese, Germans, French (like us), as well as a few Thais (and probably more).The scam is worth between 20 and 50 millions USD, and I don't have any reasons to believe it cannot happen again.Sadly, for my mother, she is a factory worker, who just turned 60 years, even if I work as a software engineer in France, I don't think I can save money fast enough to offer her a decent retirement.I don't want to give up on her, and I spent countless hours trying to track down how the scammer got away, hence that's how I got to know who's powerful politician is behind it.My two questions would be :1. If you were in my shoes, can you think of any creative ideas to take the battle online? And get as much exposure as possible?My rationale is as follows : real estate is not a liquid asset, it's hard to build such a fraud in a foreign country, and his network / power depends on Thailand. So hurting his reputation might prompt him to come to the table, negotiating. If not, I can at least save a few potential victims in the future.One strategy I thought about is getting enough exposure on his name / company / brand. Then pay some people to pretend they are potential investors, only to have them back off from the deal because they found out online, he was a scammer.The idea being to instill the poison of doubt and make him wonder how much more money he is losing without knowing.2. Do you know any journalists, ambassadors, or content creator with an audience from any of those countries who would be willing to write about this?I can provide countless hard evidences, documents and OSINT I have done myself.I am willing to pay anyone who is willing to spend 30 minutes looking at the documents, and only publish it if they find the evidences convincing and are willing to expose a powerful family.My mother is a factory worker, she worked all her life, we do not have any plan B.I am not asking for any money, but there are thousands of victims, and the scammer is free to continue, because most victims choose to remain silent because of the repressive Thai law about defamation.
