Ripped off: Victims seek justice against police officer’s wife impersonating banker

[webfact]

 

Thommanant Taengtim, known as Ja Kings Saphan Mai, today led a group of more than 10 victims to the Central Investigation Bureau to file a complaint against the wife of a high-ranking police officer from Phahonyothin Police Station, who pretended to be a bank officer.

 

The wife, named Noi, allegedly promised to help them get loans and even allocate lottery quotas but in return, she charged operation fees and premiums ranging from thousands to hundreds of thousands of baht. However, after they paid the money, none of the promises were fulfilled, leading to total losses of approximately 500,000 baht.

 

Representing the victims, A (assumed name) revealed that they were contacted through a Facebook page dedicated to loan seekers. Some victims were directly approached by Noi. Each victim was charged operation fees and premiums, and after payment, none of them received loan approval.

Upon inspection at the bank, it was discovered that Noi had never applied for a loan and was not a bank employee. The total losses from this fraud are not less than 500,000 baht (US$14,091), reported KhaoSod.

Policemen and family are protected .... justice only for the ones with family in higher jobs. The lower have other laws
