webfact Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Picture: Thai Rath The Thai authorities have finally caught up with a woman who swindled customers out of millions of baht in a car insurance fraud. Juthamas, 40, was arrested at a house in Lampho sub-district of Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi yesterday. She was named in a warrant issued by the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court ain August 2021 for fraudulent practice though she was also named in seven other warrants. Back in 2018 while she was working for an insurance company she persuaded people with car insurance policies to cancel them and go with her. She offered customers benefits convincing them they would get refunds on previous policies. Believing this the customers parted with 17,000 - 20,000 baht each. Around one hundred victims gave her millions of baht and she just fled with the money constantly moving around to evade arrest, reported Thai Rath. Now she is facing the music after her arrest by the Crime Suppression Division who have handed her over to other authorities.

Enoon Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) "..................Crime Suppression Division who have handed her over to other authorities." "Her"........or the case? "Sufficiently" wealthy on the millions, white collar, feeling stressed and a bit too unwell to turn up to talk to "other authorities" or attend at court? Yeah....sure.......she's really for it now. ???? Edited January 14, 2022 by Enoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HashBrownHarry Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 In reality what sort of punishment is likely for this? Not much one would suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilly07 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Thais do like ripping off their compatriots and believe they are clever doing so even when it is family members. Farangs are fair game as they have more money. Witness Thais "borrowing" money which they have no intention of paying back. As soon as they have it it becomes theirs. Even acting as guarantor to a Thai means the debt is passed on and they don't have to repay. In business setting up false companies under other names to avoid tax and bills often results in those named parties getting bankrupted whilst the perpetrator goes free. Mai pen rai abounds everywhere giving no thought to consequences or tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
