Disabled Austrian swindled out of 10 million baht by “girlfriend”

Sanook Sanook reports that a 49 year old disabled Austrian man, who thought he had found his soulmate in Chiang Mai, has been swindled out of about 10 million baht by his sweet-talking lover. Love blossomed as they continued their relationship online, and marriage was in the air… or so he thought.

A Chiang Mai ex-pat named G.P. from Austria spent the last two years being a sugar daddy to a woman he had met from an online dating service.  He bought her a house, 2 expensive cars, financed a shop, and all the jewelry any woman could ask for. GP fell right into her trap.  After she cleaned him out she supposedly hired a lawyer who demanded even more money,  he later turned out to be her ex-husband. Turns out in the end she never even bought a house. He has now offered a reward to anyone who can track the couple down. He is living in a retirement home all alone in Hua Hin with lots of time to think things over.
