The family of a secondary schoolgirl and her teachers went to the Non Thai police in Nakhon Ratchasima after she was sucked into an online betting scam.

 

The M5 girl (this is the fifth year of secondary school) was on Facebook when she got a friend request.

 

This turned out to be a person she added who said she could get huge rewards by investing little in a Baccarat game. 

 

The contact said 300 baht would turn into 4-5,000 baht in next to no time.

 

She then added the person on the Line app and when they said she was now due 8,900 baht she agreed to pay 900 baht as a fee to "release the funds", reported Daily News.

Other excuses followed until she had racked up debts of 20,700 with family to try and reclaim her initial investment.

 

She got nothing back.
