Picture: Sanook

 

A lawyer called Bisa Biabangkert who works for a law foundation took 12 victims of an alleged lottery fraud to file a case at Khon Kaen police yesterday.

 

They lost 12 million baht but it is alleged that there are hundreds of victims of the scheme to invest in a lottery that didn't exist.

 

At the center of the claims are the well known chairman of a Kalasin (north east Thailand) football club and his wife and seven facilitators. 

 

They used Line and Facebook to allegedly swingle hundreds of people under false pretenses. 

 

One woman in Udon Thani lost 40 million.

 

Total losses, reported Sanook, are claimed to be nearly one BILLION baht. 

 

It was reported that many victims have not come forward after they were told that if they went to police they could forget ever getting their investments back.

 

Khon Kaen police accepted the case for investigation.

Thai Rak Thai - Yea that's about right ....................LOL

Over/under this lawyer "disappears"?

 

 

 

 

It seems just too easy to scam people here , just show

them unrealistic interest rates, offer them ways to get

rich quick ,that cannot possibly work , but they are in,

that old saying ,"if it seems too good to be true ,it probably

is ",  is my mantra ,pity others don't think the same , next

week there will be another case to investigate where people

have been scammed of Millions.

It is always amazing to me that someone who is smart enough to amass this amount of money can be so stupid. Seems to happen quite regularly.

I've thought that about someone, a multi billionaire who likes inventing cars, who accused a cave rescue diver of being a pedophile based purely on the fact that he lived in Thailand.
