Woman paid to open bank account for someone else arrested

[webfact]

 

A woman who opened a bank account for an online scamming gang, in exchange for a small payment, has been arrested by an undercover police officer, masquerading as lottery vendor, in Mueang district of Thailand’s north-eastern province of Ubon Ratchathani.

 

After her arrest on fraud charges, the 21-year-old suspect, identified only as “Jirawan”, warned members of the public not to open bank accounts for use by other people in exchange for a cash, because they will end up in trouble.

 

She claimed that she opened a bank account in her name, in return for just 300 baht, for a person she knew from Facebook, believing that the bank account would be used for underground lottery betting transactions. It was, however, used to collect payments for goods ordered online from the scammers’ website and which were never delivered.
