A 57 year old woman, known as Aunt Prayun, was arrested yesterday, for allegedly defrauding people by selling fake tickets and merchandise for popular K-pop bands. She was taken into custody from her rental home in the Phaya Thai district in Bangkok.

 

Prayun was accused of claiming to pawn her bank account for 7,000-8,000 baht she was netting selling fraudulent K-Pop tickets and items. The arrest was carried out by a special team led by Police Lieutenant Colonel Thitisan Sangsawang. The team had been ordered to investigate the case by Police Lieutenant General Thitirat Kitisara.

 

Prayun was apprehended under the arrest warrant number 183/2023, issued on June 14, by the Phitsanulok Provincial Court. She was charged with “deceiving the public, and dishonestly or fraudulently introducing into a computer system distorted or false computer data, in whole or in part, or false computer data, in a manner likely to cause damage to the public.”

 

The arrest followed a complaint from a Facebook user who was tricked into purchasing tickets and clothes representing renowned Korean K-Pop artists. The scammer used the account under the name Prayun to receive the transferred money.
