The thing I like about the OP is that plenty of information to back up the theories is given for us to check out. For instance I had not seen Dexter's web-site despite the fact it has been posted on our forum before.

I did note though that a book called "The Pretender" is coming out - so this appearance might well help the launch...Of course he will not need a PR Company since he will be his own PR (duh!). I had not realised that.

It was interesting to see on his web-site a photo of the girl who appeared as his friend in the studio once.

So this really is a master plan. Top marks to him...He doesn't need to win now - he's home and dry on the basis of his journey.

Sophie and the Twins now look like complete rank amateurs by comparison. Even if you hate Dexter, this year might have been very dull without him. I knew he was a friend of Rylan's but not much more than that. I have not particularly felt any empathy towards him so far - but I can watch now with a bit more understanding.

I get a very strong sense that he will not be bothering with any of the other housemates when his stint is over - except possibly Hazel. Knowing him he will offer to manage both Daley and Hazels's careers and/or possibly some of the others on a percentage basis. He can't fail financially if this is the case..

Couple of points, his website is part of his scam, His main income is from photographing celebs and wannabe celebs like Sallie, He is a paparazzo he saw and photographed Rylan on a drunken night out and had another paparazzo photograph him with Rylan.

The ISBN No. on the book does not exist.

His PR (Media) company Earthhorse PR ltd was registered for his entry to BB date of registration 2nd April 2013, Capital Ł1, registered in Lancashire but purports to be in London with a Mobile Telephone Number to contact it.
Dexter Koh (real or birth name Dexter Koh Siong Kiat) was born in 1985 (this is the only true part of his Biography)

Thanks Fingers! Always bang on the nail with information!

Do you think that the company was registered with a view to utilising it when he comes out? Also, would the book have an ISBN number prior to release?

Since it's a new company the annual returns can't be checked out yet but if I was setting up a company with a view to future income I might do this (if I were him). I must say some of the grammar etc on the various pages was a bit suspect (I hate bad grammar and spelling - that's why most of my posts are corrected when I spot a mistake) and it did make me wince a little bit.

I don't doubt that Mr Koh would love to have the PR company get some business on the back of his time in the house, but why pretend that it was set up by 30 experienced journalists and PR experts, when the only one running it is a wannabe Max Clifford? Anyone with a modicum of intelligence ought to be able to smell a rat when the after hours landline number for a London based company is, in fact, located in Lancashire.

Yes - I get that now.

Has anyone telephoned the number?

Dexter Koh (real or birth name Dexter Koh Siong Kiat) was born in 1985 (this is the only true part of his Biography)
DEXTER THE CHARISMATIC CHARMER.......AND CONMAN

Dexter is the most interesting person in the BIG BROTHER 14 House,and I have been intrigued with him since the start of Big Brother 14.His profile
video film shows him driving a modern Rolls-Royce motorcar,as part of his
playboy,Casanova Jet Set life style image.Some of Dexter's friends,including
his Mother,say that he's hardly got any money in the bank,and what money
he had was probably spent on hiring that Rolls-Royce for the day,and possiably paying certain people to pose as girlfriends,etc.
Nevertheless,I do have mixed feelings about him:A part of me thinks he is (A) a genuine,caring,friendly,helpful and charming housemate with a genuine desire to make friends,but another part of me thinks that he is (B) a bit heartless and ruthless.
However,I do think Dexter is rather more A than B,and Pam Spurr confirmed
Dexter's desire for love and friendship on last night's Big Brother's Bit On The Side programme last night.
Finally,other people have successfully (and harmlessly in at least some cases) conned their way in to better and long lasting lifestyles.And if Dexter
is using Big Brother as a springboard to further a more fruitful lifestyle for himself.......well all power to him and well done Dexter!

I do not think Dexter will win Big Brother 14 (shame) -I hope he does!
Sam might just win - he does not to deserve to win:Sink HMS Sam.Sink! BB7's Glynn Wise is far more interesting than Sam.
The only other person that I can see winning is Gina But I've got mixed feelings for her.......now if she was more like the great BB9 winner,Rachel,the negative part of my feelings would turn in to positive feelings!

Looks like a plant but, regardless, the book is called The Pretender. Let that one absorb...

My issue isn't if so much if he went in there as an actor. It's with the hypocrisy of viewers who vehemently defend him while tearing down other housemates, often citing them as not being real or for being deceptive. I think this forum is now more of a social experiment than the show itself.

Never thought of it like that. You might be right, I'm only going to watch the show so I can keep up with the forums.

I cant for the life of me understand why some people want him to win. Its like saying we need to allow scam artists to con us all then pay them for it. What kind of world are we promoting when conmen are revered as hero's. HE IS A LITTLE FAME HUNGRY WANNABEE and that my fellow posters is not, or should not, be the type of people we should be supporting, regardless of how entertaining he is supposed to be.

I guess I feel he's someone I'd find it easy to get along with in the outside world.

Apart from the manufactured back story for BB (just as with Gina and Callum) where is the evidence that he is a scammer in real life?

It's no bombshell that Dexter has a fake back story. I would contend there us NO evidence that he is a scammer in real life. If you'd like to give a link rather than making a sweeping statement I'd be happy to consider it.

Rather than contend or even accuse anyone, try google before you challenge or try to make anyone look small. Its dead easy to sit in judgement and ask for specifics when the absolute lack of specifics prove everyones point. I say everyone because if you care to read back, you will find there are loads of people that have offered snippets of info regarding this CONMANS LIFESTYLE.

in future do your own research or ignore these threads.

if you really want to get into a real debate, why don't you publish some links that prove he is as you think he is. Personally I fear you might not have an answer so I will leave it there ok. have a great night.

I have never called him a scammer, I do call him a con man because that is what he is.

The book has an ISBN No. on the Front cover, not the usual place even for a fantasy number.

I'd agree with most of what you said.
He's in PR so of course he's extremely calculating.
