Popular Post webfact Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2022 Picture: Daily News Police arrested a man who was involved in a 5 million baht fraud on the Line application. Opas Chuchao, 31, was arrested on a Chiang Mai to Bangkok train at Ban Phachi train station, reported Daily News. A warrant had been issued for his arrest in February after a complainant went to the Prachinburi Police to report online fraud. It is claimed that Opas pretended to be a Chiang Rai policemen in a scam involving the falsification of documents. Victims were called to say they were mixed up in a drugs case and would need to send money from their accounts to one operated by the gang. They then disappeared. Such call center frauds are being reported on an almost daily basis, notes ASEAN NOW. The suspect was taken to Prachinburi police station for questioning. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-09-17 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Golden Triangle Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) What I don't understand is why do these people pay up ??? If someone accused me of something which I knew to be false and asked me for dosh I would just tell them to take a running jump, but for some unknown reason Thais just accept it. Edit: Or maybe I'm just reading it wrong. Edited September 17, 2022 by Golden Triangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Thailand, they might attend but they'd be on their phones or asleep. Like when they attend for a driving license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell them anything and they'll believe it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
