Aren't they based in Thailand? Or one of the other areas of the world who gives Nigeria a competition for scamming Western dollars?
Ill-informed, or just racist?
What do you have against Thailand?

Perhaps it is you who is ill-informed, if you must resort to accusations of racism.
Thailand is not known as a "safe" destination for white males, at least. There is a lot of industry there specifically to target naive tourists:

I hope you can forgive me for the Daily Mail link.
There are also some choice quotes in here:

“In one part of Bangkok, there were military police everywhere; two stops away on the Skytrain you wouldn’t know anything was going on. The Thais are used to coups.”
"Not long ago, a man was sentenced by the military junta to 30 years in prison for insulting the King’s dog."
Not a great place for ignorant westerners to go strolling around.
