Scams like this damages tourism and genuine businesses.

 

 

Our webiste has been updated and now provides assistance for those cheated with the fake discount card, about how to claim refund. The legal fundament of this claim is that the cards are sold to be valid for up to 10 years, and the claimed services have not been provided (and will not be provided becuase are inexistent).

i guess you are just trying to make a personal vendetta here, at least that's how your site comes along? oh, and I might add that in thailand there is of course a public prosecuter - you should keep your website at least stick to the facts.

 

any FACTS to support your claims? I mean besides emails copied into a website which is about useless as evidence as it is easily manipulated?

 

the best example is the following Mail that you copied into your website:

Furthermore I have listed, HOW TO MAKE MONEY WITH THIS CONCEPT(13) . Please read the attachment. The current rental fee is 14.000THB. The monthly staff salary is 20.000THB (webmaster & secretary)(14) . The sales persons are receiving monthly commissions. The is no health insurance to be paid, as there less than 7 persons employed.

 

Please clarify under which kind of conditions the deposit should be refunded. The deposit should be in THB. The balance can be transferred to an oversea account in $ or Euro(15) .

 

If your are requesting more info please let me know.

Oh, BTW - my name is not Uwe

 

But if you are accusing people of things like you do on your site, provide some facts, I saw not a single hard fact on anything there, just a good story. If it's true or not, who knows, but for sure you did nto show the least bit of evidence.

 

So if anyone has been cheated by this guy, let us hear it, would be really interesting. I might add that I was suspicious about this fan card ever since i first saw it on the net, but i would not dare to make such accusitions without providing some facts to see.

[irishman]

Looks to me like somebody was pissed enough about Pattayalivecam scam to make a website about it.

 

I like to remember my dear departed Mother's favorite saying!

 

"Don't believe anything you read and only half of what you see!"

 

Has made me a bit cynical but I don't fall for scams. Let's see now how much was it that my TG needs this week?

  I wonder why I did not see www.thaitraveltips.com on that 1 page site  

ting_tong,

could you provide some more info on the subject?

 

 

To the topic: though the entire site www.pattayascam.com looks like a 'flaming flame', it could [usefully and positively ] motivate some of the 'wanna-be business-guys' out there to reconsider their "great" investment plans...

 

 

[JohnnyK]

Yes, you CAN make a million dollars in PTY...just bring 5 million to start with.

Rule #1: Caveat Emptor

Remember, you don't have home-field advantage!

[amphora]

Well, can’t say it is all the Pattayalivecam-thing is a scam, because I don’t know that for sure. But it certainly looks like it.

 

I took a look at the site and thought: “this looks interesting”!

Ok, I register and subscribe for the Gold-Card.

I have my member# now, so I can start to order things with a discount. Forget it!

 

First thing I try, a discount of whatever% on a lomo from the airport to PTTY.

I enter all the info, result:

“THIS SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER”

 

Ok, maybe I can try that later.

 

Next thing I try:

“THIS SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER”

 

I get suspicious and try a third item:

“THIS SERVICE IS TEMPORARILY OUT OF ORDER”

 

After this irritating announcement you get re-directed to a page from the Webmaster where he explains his wife died in a car-accident. Really sad story if it is true…but I doubt it!

Even if it is true, it’s no reason to rob people!

 

They let you pay for the Gold-Card and after you did so, the services you want to use seem not to be working.

I guess it’s a scam

 

I know, I should have been more careful, ask you guys first about it…Well, I didn’t.

I’m not even IN Pattaya and I’l already framed.

[Pieman]

amphora,

 

As someone pointed out on another thread recently, it is easy for you to get your money back.

 

Just telephone your credit card company and tell them that you were not provided with the services that you paid for. They will refund your money and charge back to the con artist. Only if he can prove that you are being untruthful (and he can't) will he get the money back and you charged again.

 

Cheers

[Gabor]

Is this the same guy ? on

http://www.pattayacity.com/pattaya/index.html

There mentioned also his wife dead in car accident...

[amphora]

Yes, Gabor, that's the same story

[Gabor]

Yes, Gabor, that's the same story

This guy is really crazy... we had some bad tasting email exchange.

I can believe about the car accident of his beloved girl and I guess, he madden.

    I wonder why I did not see www.thaitraveltips.com on that 1 page site  

ting tong,

 

i also am pretty sure that the thaitraveltips stuff is very dubious - but interestingly, stickman wrote about this bars in hist last weekly column and has a banner on this site. stickman is not s stupid newbie so maybe we are wrong on this? i was surprised to read about this bar becuase i was sure they are a big time scam with their membership - well, could still be the case though.

amphora,

 

thanks for sharing this, not many people would admit openly that they got cheated - i would suggest you

 

1) inform your credit card company and cancle the payment

2) you report it to your local police as well as online to the thai police (even if it does not trigger any action - at least you have tried

3) write an email to some of the businesses who are offered with discounts as they sure don't like to associated with a scam

 

cheers

[amphora]

Thanks Cyber!

Will do

[cybers1b]

Last Year while in Pattaya I stumbled over this site. Was not really excited, maybe I smelled the rat, don't know.

Anyway, after being home in Europe for some Days, I visited pattayalivecam again, this time they offered an incredible cheap price for the Royal Garden Marriott, somewhere around 1000 Bt. That made me interested. After some reading the associated fine-print on this Offer it turned out that the prices was valid through August 31st only, but I can swear that on August 29 while still in Pattaya I did not see this offer, only in the very first Days in September!

 

Name it like you will, this site is a scam.

 

Sunny

I agree after doing some research myself. My initial reply in this thread was triggered by teh strange emails on the pattayascam site - where in the header the mail was addressed to mike and in the mail itlself it was obvious that it was from mike to uwe. also no facts have been presented there, only the personal opinion of the person who did it.

 

After contacting 15 business (hotels and others) - it looks like some have never heard of this site, others have allrady reported it to the police. i wrote some emails bit i got no reply from any business as to the status of their relationship to this site.

 

For me, that is enough prove but i stick to my original post, the pattayascam site did not provide facts...and they faked the emails on their site.

 

Anyway, thanks again to amphora to share his experience and maybe save a few people from being cheated by this person.

 

cheers

Yeah well that was informative, tells me website can not be found> Now that is what you call plenty of evidence, haha!!!

[Wardog]

Kev, he spelt Pattaya wrong

He has pattyascam.com

 

should be pattayascam.com

 

Dog out.

[PSBG]

Too excited...Kev, just with a little of imagination you can guess that it was a typing mistake...sorry mate..your joke is valid anyway

 

See

 

http://www.pattayascam.com (sure is ok now!)

 

I am surprised that cybesr1b still believe that there is not factual evidence in this website.

 

Apart of the Tip Top scam, the Pattayalivecam site provided false names. None of the people named on it as operators are real. Peter Geister hides his name with evident reasons. He does not want to be identified with it.

 

Peter Geister is also facing formal criminal charges from on of the people he frauded.

 

In addition we have received mails from two unhappy customers (from Europe) already discussing the matter with the Thai Police. We will see how far we can get.

[PSBG]

For me, that is enough prove but i stick to my original post, the pattayascam site did not provide facts...and they faked the emails on their site.

 

Cibers1b how can we prove to you that the e-mails in the website are reals and not faked?. Please tell me and we happily will provide you any information you ask.

 

What it was faked was the person interested in purchasing the pattayalivecam website. We were the ones sending the email to Uwe (Peter Geister himself) to make him to name Peter Geister as the owner of the business. And he did it finally.

 

The scam and the lies are so evident that we do not need to fake any information to the public. It is not in the interest of our credibility anyway.

OK thanks PSBG, spelling was never one of my good points, I'm more of a figures person.

Hi fellas

 

Long time since my last post but there is an interesting link that is an old one but still valid and gives some substance to the fact this may well be a case of sour grapes by some people intent on destroying the reputation of this guy or the website owner.

 

Pattaya cam info

 

It is about the history of pattayalivecam.com and the old cam links used to go direct after the download of some javascript.some of them may be cached in google, such as the cam at Lobster pot on Walking street, Tonys cams and the 2x ptty2 cams.Personally I'm not forming an opinion, just that would you build up a site for 7 years just to scam people?.There is also a german site featuring pics from 2001 that was a livecam party, where a group of guys went to each cam for an hour and were filmed.If I find the link I'll post.

 

Regards

Butch

[PSBG]

Butch it is hard to image the premeditation of Peter Geister. He does everything to appear formal and stright.

 

The scams began after business become unviable and he realises that he was able to cheat naive westerners with his Tip Top franchise. There not a single frachisee who has not been fraud. The easy way to verify this is to contact them, one in Pattaya, one in Silom and two in Chiang-Mai (those are the ones who can be located, but we know that there are more).

 

Just to give you a sample of premeditation, Peter Geister opened a business and name it "Asia Franchise Association". A fake and illegal aassociation in Thailand (an association can not be Co. Ltd.). He advertises that his Tip Top franchise has been awared two years as the "best franchise concept in asia". Any western would believe that because on our countries nobody would do that so openly. Everythig that Peter Geister have done have the same smell.

 

The Pattayalivecam is a scam and evidence has been give in this Forum by one of his victims. We have a lits of them. One specifically has an appointment with the Pattaya Police (we have been amazed that the police answered to his letters of complains). In addition you can verify by yourself that all the names given in the website are false. The story in the newsletter are false. These people do not exist. Peter Geister name is in nowhere. Why is that? Why a business owner would want to hide his name?. Becuase this is a premeditated and calculated scam.

 

In any case Buth, we suggest you to talk with some of the people who has been fraud by Peter Geister: staff, accountant, advertising companies, rentals, contractors, uniform manufacturer, bio-pest control, IFT, Tip Top franchisees, and hundreds of useless discount cards (it sum millions of bhts). The stories are sad to hear.

 

Sunnyvalentine made an intelligent observations, but his conclussion is incorrect. Here the explanation. bronmjy2k@yahoo.com was the email and person we faked to make and maintained correspondence with Uwe (Peter Geister himself). Peter Geister (Uwe) uses the German text. We have no reasons to "invent" these matters. We can not include in here or our website all the people complaining or providing information about the scams but privatelly we will send it you tou.

 

We have evidence that there is a criminal lawsuit on course against Peter Geister. And this can not be without evidence.

 

We will respectfully accept any opinion and provide any detailed evidence required.

 

Regards and thanks for your input.
