the following message was transcribed from email inquiry:
I have a Thai fiance and 4 step children, 3 girls and a son.
January last year we met a Lao born USA Immigration attorney in Thailand near
our home.
He promised financial and visa assistance for me and my family to go to the
USA. He Lied! He met my family them disappeared.
I moved to Cyprus to work and support my Thai family and to bring my fiance
here to marry and then bring the kids and grandmother over to live.
This immigration attorney never returned my emails or phone calls and knew i
was in Cyprus and my fiance in another town working.
Last week my fiance went home to be told that this immigration lawyer turned
up at our house with 10 farang , all men! Unannounced and invited, asking
where I was and my fiance. HE KNEW VERY WELL WHERE WE WHERE.!
THEY TOOK GRANDMOTHER TO EAT ALL 11 OF THEM. HE AGAIN PROMISED FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE AND VISA ASSISTANCE. ONE FARANG BRAGGED HE WAS WEALTHY AND GAVE HER
1000BAHT AND INVITED HER TO THE CITY FOR A \"TOUR\".
THE ATTORNEY CALLED HIMSELF FAMILY AND THAT WAS HIS REASON FOR THE VISIT AND
\"CONCERN\".
I AND MY FIANCE ARE NOW BESIDES OURSELVES WITH WORRY AND CONCERN FOR OUR
CHILDREN.
THIS MAN HAS EXPOSED OUR CHILDREN TO 10 STRANGE FARNG. WE ALL KNOW WHAT
THAIALND IS ABOUT FOR MOST FARANG.
WHY DID THIS ATTORNEY TAKE 10 STRANGE MEN TO OUR HOUSE KNOWING WE WERE NOT
THERE?
I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE US EMBASSY HERE AND THEY ASKED ME TO COME INOT THE
EMBASSY TO TALK TO THEM WITH CHRONOLOGY OF W\\EVENTS WHICH I DID.
THEY WERE EQUALLY SURPRISED AND PUZZLED AT THIS MANS ACTIONS AND ARE
MONITORING THE SITUATION AS BEST THEY CAN.
IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE TO GET MY FAMILY OUT OF THAILAND COMPLETELY. THIS MAN
HAS JEOPARDIZED MY FAMILIES FUTURE SECURITY AND SAFETY BY HIS ACTIONS.
I HAVE APPROACHED CHARITIES HERE IN CYPRUS, MY GOVERNMENT HERE AND AUSTRALIA TO
NO AVAIL. THEY WILL NOT ASSIST.
IT WILL TAKE ALMOST 4000 EURO TO GET THEM HERE OUT OF HARMS WAY WHICH IS NOW A
MATTER OF URGENCY!
CAN YOU ASSIST ME WITH ORGANIZATIONS OR SOMETHING SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP US GET
OUR CHILDREN OUT OF THAILAND?
WE ARE DESPERATE.
I DON'T WANT A HAND OUT AS SUCH AND AM PREPARED TO PAY THE AIRFARES ETC BACK.
I\'M PREPARED TO GIVE ANYONE THE US EMBASSY CONTACTS I'M COMMUNICATING WITH TO
VERIFY ALL THIS.
PLEASE HELP US.
