Many domestic Thai tourists were allegedly scammed out of tens of thousands of baht by a fake Pattaya pool villa Facebook page.

 

Ms. Achiraya Malarat, a 27-year-old Thai tourist from Khon Kaen province, contacted The Pattaya News to expose a scammer disguised as a pool villa operator on Facebook.

 

She said on April 18th, she and her family wanted to visit Pattaya for a break and for Pattaya’s famous Wan Lai Songkran Festival, so she contacted a Facebook page named “Pool Villa Pattaya by Kanda” to book a villa.

The victim then visited the Pattaya Police Station and was instructed by the officers to file a report to a police station in her hometown for more convenient questioning.

The victim urged Pattaya Police to show more effort in solving her plight as it could potentially ruin Pattaya’s reputation.

 

Not interested in sorting out their own backyard?

Too late; Pattaya's invisible police have already done that on a daily basis.

I bought an item advertised on FB, which turned out to be fake, PayPal got me a refund. So, never again. FB doesn't appear to check on anyone who advertises a business on their platform. Anything goes.
