If gambling was not illegal I would say lets open a book on them being bona fide BiB. Odds of 100000/1 that they are not cops and evens that they are.

How exactly does anybody extort lots of money from an 11 year old child?

Take his/her piggy bank... ????

 

On a more serious note, how did these "cyber cops" know she had won the jackpot? Did she plaster the news all over social media and lure these guys? Something doesn't smell right here. 

Know a woman here (friend of a friend) who won 85k a year or two ago. As soon as she "shared" the good news on FB, various family members came crawling out of the woodwork with sob stories and hands stretched out. Every penny was gone by the end of the same day. Sometimes it's better to fly low under the radar.

so what are the details of the extortion ?

 

if some cops came to me demanding for money, I'd at least ask for what ?

Isn't online gambling illegal? Maybe "give us a cut or well arrest you"? And "and well bash you and your kid" for good measure?

A Thai woman who got lucky winning nearly two million baht in online gambling soon didn't feel quite so lucky.

Did I miss something , isn't online gambling illegal in Thailand ?

Well I am shocked and appalled that the RTP with such a gleaming reputation of honesty and up holding the law without any bias to themselves could be accused of such a thing. I mean cases like this of the police extorting anything in any form are just unheard of right!:whistling:
