Thai woman arrested for operating online durian scam

[snoop1130]

 

Police arrested a Thai woman following numerous complaints from victims across the country who fell prey to her online durian scams.

 

Chananchida Khamwarn, a 27 year old resident, was tracked down and arrested by the Police Cyber Taskforce and Investigation Division of the Metropolitan Police Bureau. The scammer had previously faced arrest warrants issued in Khon Kaen province and Payao province.

 

Yesterday, in Samut Prakarn province near Bangkok, officers successfully took Chananchida into custody, where she confessed to her fraudulent activities. Explaining her motivation, she revealed her love for durian and her habit of posting numerous durian pictures on her mobile phone. The attention garnered from netizens fuelled her sinister plan to deceive people. In cases where victims threatened to report her, she would return their money as a means to dissuade further action.

 

Chananchida admitted her intentions of expanding her scamming repertoire beyond durian to other food-related frauds. However, her arrest thwarted these plans.

Time to put her away out of harms way.. 

She seemed to have a history of doing these scams and intent on expanding her ambitions.

A fine & release doesn't seem to have got the message across to her.

Only 27 and a complete mess, looks more like some old Thai 'Aunty' a couple of months on rice soup should sort her out.
