Original- Quote:
"Sankies haben ein Repertoire an mehr oder weniger glaubhaften Geldbedarfgeschichten, die Gringas herzerweicht zu Geldueberweisungen veranlasst ("Western-Union-Phase").
Gaengige Bittgruende sind:
- Handy- und Telefonkartenkaeufe;
- Krankheitsfaelle oder lebensrettende Operationen in der Familie;
- Arztkosten nach Unfaellen;
- Kautionszahlungen fuer Entlassung aus dem Gefaengnis;
- Ausloesung von verpfaendeten Sachen;
- Fahrgeld fuer Heimfahrten, Schulgeldnoete;
- Beschaffung von Dokumenten und hierfuer noetige 'Beschleunigungsgebuehren';
- usw., usf."

Before I drive myself crazy, is this German or sankie language ?

They are very honest about it, and tell very open how they fool the the tourists and I keep wondering that tourists fall in those tricks, but that topic is discussed many times.
Part of their mo to convince you of their superior sales technique ... honest sankie = oxymoron

It's taken from the German Frog's site.

Run it through a translater and it will be even more confusing...

Not to mention the reputation hanging around with them gives you.

Some people dont get it.

FWIW.

Or beat the heck out of them like that sankie did to the Canadian girl a couple of years back. Remember that one? The poor girl got her face bashed in and smothered with a pillow. Only by shear will did she live. The sankie then took her money, credit cars and car and took off. She was legally married to this scum ball so the credit cards, money and car was rightfully his. The battery case was left up to her to return to the DR to prosecute and I am not sure if she ever returned.

Monsters like this, whether they are North American, Chinese, Indian or from Mars are predators. It cannot be compared to watching something silly and then laugh. I understand your point however this sankie business is not a joking business, at least not in my eyes it isn't.

Watching these sankies and sankiettes rip naive people off is the same as watching a bunch of rats going in and out of a garbage bin. We don't find their tricks to be very funny and we try our best to warn people about it.

As Larry posted, it's a matter of time and you will get sick of their garbage. We are hoping that they do not stick a knife in your back or stick some dope in your pocket then reporting you to their sankie cop friend.
