CHAING MAI, Aug18 (TNA) – A renowned hotel in Chiang Mai has filed a complaint to the police against scammers creating a fraudulent Facebook page to deceive individuals into making accommodation bookings and transferring money.

 

The manager of R1 Nimman Hotel Chiang Mai filed the complaint at the Phu Ping Police Station after a cybercriminal gang took images from the hotel’s official Facebook page, created a counterfeit page, and posted messages claiming to offer room reservations.

 

This led to several potential customers falling prey to the scam, thinking they were interacting with the legitimate hotel page and subsequently transferring money for room bookings.

Unfortunately, Thailand favors Facebook for almost everything....many companies don't have working web sites, but FB is easy.

It reflects the cheap, low-class attitude of the business to me, and any company that isn't professional enough to have a proper website gets no business from me.

I've noticed many Thai companies have links to their website on their Facebook page, but the site is not operational! ????
