In Reply to: Card scam details posted by nomadmac on Tuesday, 21. June 2005 at 11:11 Bali Time:
My brothers mate went for a trip by himself to Bali a couple of years ago. On the first day there he was suckered into this scam but he had actually lost in the card game. They took him to the bank and he withdrew everything he could for the day from his account, which wasnt enough to cover his debt, they told him they would come to his hotel the next day and take him to the bank for the rest of the money, and if he did not he was threatened with physical harm. He phoned his father in Australia and they arranged for him to get on a flight out of Bali that night. He has never returned.
