A Chinese national and 12 accomplices have been apprehended in Chiang Rai for their involvement in an online scam operation. The arrests were made by officers from Provincial Police Region 5 and the Immigration Bureau, following a tip-off about the gang’s activities in Chiang Rai City. The police, armed with a search warrant issued by Chiang Rai Provincial Court, collaborated with immigration officials to raid a commercial building in tambon Rob Wiang, Mueang district. They found the gang actively scamming victims online and arrested Chu Huaixiang, the Chinese national identified as the gang leader, along with 12 team members, consisting of both Thai and Chinese nationals. The authorities also confiscated the online scammers’ computers found on the premises. According to Pol. Lt. Gen. Piya Tawichai, the Provincial Police Region 5 commissioner, the online scam gang began its fraudulent activity by creating false profiles on Facebook, using attractive photos sourced from the Internet as profile pictures. They established Facebook groups named Tam Boon Online (“making merit online”) and “Tour Boon” (“travelling and making merit”). Thai members of the gang would then send Facebook messages to users they discovered on social media. by Mitch Connor Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/chinese-national-and-12-accomplices-arrested-for-online-scam-in-chiang-rai -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-06-06 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.
