Hello,
Have had an ad on the free Hua Hin Classifieds website for about 2 weeks now, listing my property in Hua Hin for sale. Then today I received an email stating ''Thank you for submitting your ad for Thailand Classifieds'' and asking for payment for a highlighted advert, I have gone to the link for the website and indeed our house is listed there and on a so called highlighted ad.
Has anyone heard of this website and/or had there free ad listed this way?...
Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks, GN.

Re: Thailand Classifieds?
Thanks Buksida, will ignore any further emails from this site. Not sure how they got y details, ust be they just latch on, and hope I go ahead and pay for the service. Normally, as you know listing a property even with an agent is free but only subject to commission on sale.
Thanks Again GN.

This practice is a common scam in the UK, where the ad is copied and placed elsewhere, then a bill comes in asking for payment. Especially an issue for large organisations, most of whom will be aware of it.

Re: Thailand Classifieds?
Thanks for the info, Caller. What do you suggest I can do? other than ignore. GN.
Re: Thailand Classifieds?
I'm not sure reporting them to the Thai Police would be much help! I don't know what advice to offer apart from ignore them?
