With regards to the scam I did talk to one of these guys in Thailand, he was making comments such as you are lucky etc etc, I thought I would hear him out. He then said he would ask me some questions and gave me a piece of paper and told me to put it in my hands and if the paper in my hand matched my answers I would be very lucky!
I participated, and I think some of it was right to my reccolection, e.g. favourite colour etc. Then basically he asked for a donation and I told him I could only offer him small change but he wanted more and told him I was on a tight bidget and couldnt give him more and to be honest it ended friendly he also said he accepted gifts If I wanted top buy him something. I asked him like what? and he wasnt specific I thanked him for his time and he shook my hand that was that really not sure if it constitutes as a scam more of a way to raise money, he said he needed money as he was a scholar

I didn't stop to talk with him, as alarm bells started ringing immediately when I heard him say "You're a very lucky man....."
As I made a hasty retreat, I thought to myself, "Yes, I am a very lucky man that I recognise a scam coming".
Was curious if anyone else has encountered this gentleman or seen such a routine performed.
I have a vague feeling that I witnessed a similar scam (involving an Indian) many years ago in Pattaya.
I presume it involves fortune telling or paying money for something or other ?

One time in The Avenue Mall, and another time on some random Soi I was cutting through. I figured it was some sort of scam as well and just gave him a snarky 'thanks' as I kept walking past him.
