Rename?[edit]

This article should probably called "gem scam" generally, because this exists in other places (e.g. India). Calliopejen1 (talk) 15:22, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Experiences[edit]

We wasted a whole afternoon with these people in Bangkok in March 2010, going up to step 4 of the described process. Luckliy we refused to go inside the jewellery store, although the tuk tuk driver insisted on driving us there!!

Holy Crap! I almost fell for this scam. Each Temple had a seemingly random western tourist tell me he pays for his trip to Thailand every year by buying jewelry. They were so convincing, how can you not believe an English accent? Luckily I never venture big money without online research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.90.122.141 (talk) 05:53, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
