stravers Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I believe I am being pranked. By who, I don't know. Someone is creating social media profiles in my name and writing lese majese defamatory postings. Not sure if I should pack up now or wait and see. At this point, I'm scared looking over my shoulder but I have a family, business, and other investments in Pattaya. I am not a troll. Real person with a real problem.

Swiss1960 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Engage a lawyer and go with him to the police to report everything immediately. Sent from my HTC 10 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcab Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 You need to go to the Technology Crime Suppression Division and make a complaint. If you do not speak, read and write good Thai then you need to take a bilingual speaker with you. Do Not Delay. http://www.tcsd.in.th/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelomsak Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Same name is no concern in my opinion. When I lived on Vancouver Island there were 3 people by my name, and mu name is not that common. Now if they post pics of you or use your address etc then I would be concerned.

stravers Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 I work for a company that posts our location, photo, and work email on their website so it's easy to gather the personal information. Looking at the 2 previously posted videos above, I'm scared for my life as authorities have an obligation to investigate all lese majeste complaints and I highly doubt anyone in authority will go to bat for an accused foreigner. The cases are tried by the military junta so I fear there is no chance for me to get a fair hearing. Thais sometimes make confessions as it halves their sentence (70 years to 35 years) and they get frustrated sitting in jail with no bail awaiting their hearing.

lemonjelly Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Go to the police before they come to you....

SidJames Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 If someone has registered on a forum, FB etc & posts then there is a trail that connects back to IP addresses especially if using mobile devices where the sim is registered unless siad person know how to cover their tracks. Make sure that your own computers & devices hard drives are clean if you know what I mean because they may well be checked to prove your innocence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The important thing is to file a police complaint report before someone files one against you. You should go to Technology Crime Suppression Division, with a bloody good lawyer and be the one who initiates the legal complaint on the impersonated postings. Things will then backfire on the person doing this. You may also want to think about who you might have pissed off recently. Message me if you need reliable lawyer recommendations.

samsensam Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 as above, get a lawyer and contact the police then work out who is doing this and why, it is certainly not a normal thing to do so you should be able to work out the answers - this simply doesn't happen to people going about their normal lives- and resolve these/their issues. or leave the country.

bangkoken Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Find a competent and honest attorney. Go to the Police and file the proper documents. Go to The Government House with the attorney to file a report there as well. I have used a wonderful Bangkok firm a number of times for various issues( nothing criminal). Very honest and good people. The Kingdom Law Group (website). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 If someone is using your name it suggests that they know you. You say you have a business in Pattaya. Have you ever had a problem with somebody on account of your business or are you in competition with someone. In any event, as others have said go to the police before they come to you. Don't just report it, file a complaint about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stravers Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 Been talking to my close confidantes and the results are: Thais: Get the F--- out now (as in tonight!) before vigilante group of 500 angry people comes to your door. They claim other Thais would indeed go rogue and cause a stampede without giving it a second thought. No vigilante will ever be charged with violence. Police vs. Angry Royalist. Forget it. Falangs: Lawyer up. Make complaint. File papers. Get papers date stamped. Get police to work with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRUNCHER Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 If you have been the victim of identity theft you should also consider other things e.g. credit cards, banks etc. The next thing is you will have debt collectors chasing you.
