An incompetent conman tried to pull the same scam twice, but was arrested yesterday in the capital’s Phnom Penh district when his victim recognised him.

The 25-year-old paid for a few beers with a counterfeit $20, getting free booze and real riel in exchange.

The owner later realised she had been hoodwinked, but fortunately for her, the incorrigible crook came back a few days later to buy phone credit.

The duped dame instead called police who found an additional $90 in bogus bills.
