snoop1130 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Photo via Thai Tai Channel Officers from the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) yesterday arrested a Thai man after discovering he sold fake 1,000 baht banknotes online with a promotion, buy 10 get 1 free. The Bank of Thailand received a complaint about counterfeit banknotes being sold on Twitter and then reported the issue to the EDC and urged for an urgent investigation as the fake bills could potentially cause a huge impact on Thailand’s economic system. The Twitter user was identified as 25 year old Thai man Kritsada. He was arrested yesterday at his house in the central province of Sing Buri. According to the police report, Kritsada sold the fake 1,000 baht banknotes at 100 baht each and offered his customers a promotion of buying 10 bills to get one free. The customers could either pay on delivery or transfer the money to Kritsada’s account. He delivered the fake bills to his customers using a private delivery company.

rwill Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Pretty stupid to do illegal business online. Perhaps he was selling them saying they weren't legal tender? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 100 Baht selling price for a 1,000 Baht note, and also buy 10 get 1 free how could anyone believe they might be real. There must be a lot around though, last twice I've used a 1,000 note in a 7-11 they checked the notes before accepting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
