AN ANNOUNCEMENT of the sale of counterfeit banknotes on a Facebook page shook up Thai social media with many netizens wondering whether those in their wallet are real or not, Amarin TV said Saturday (Dec. 10).

 

Mr. Pakphum Dejhassadin, a medical technologist who runs the popular Panda Lab Doctor webpage, drew attention to this webpage, whose Thai name translates to “Selling banknotes”, without fear of being arrested.

 

The accompanying message by this webpage’s user said that he was getting ready to send 2.8 million of these fake banknotes to clients today.

When I came first to Thailand 15 or 16 years ago fake 1000 baht bank notes were everywhere.  So much so that every bar in Karon had UV readers to check for fake notes.  Nothing new then.

Fake notes, what could possibly go wrong. ????

Hopefully those from an ATM will be genuine. 

 

So......what's the true difference between an authentic bank note and and the bogus variety? 

One thing all bank notes have in common is that there is nothing to substantiate or back up their fake worth and value. 

 

Isn't modern wealth one giant scam anyway?

So this guy will send you phoney bills if you send him real money. Why would he send punters anything?

There and a bank are the only places I get mine.

Most likely he just pictured real money, is not in possession of fake money at all and just scams the people buying there.

He will be very thankful for the free advertisement all over now.

Buy it on Lazada...dollars anyone ?

My stab is North Korea.

In Middlesbrough fake pound coins are selling for £1.20.

you think they actually deliver the fake note? 

they could have asked for real cash and disappear, what's the buyer gonna do? report them to the police?

Currency Exchanges, Cash on some transaction deal. Anyone in business here will receive cash from customers. I was thinking along these lines when recently in a Visa agents, 1000 baht notes all over the place.

Your 100% right. The biggest scam the world has ever seen. Mention Gold backed currency and watch the Jets fly in and destroy your country. For every Pound/dollar the bank has in assets it is allowed to lend 10 and charge interest on thin air.... Makes ponzi schemes meer armatures am look legitimate.
