Pattaya — A woman of Thai nationality was arrested in Bangkok for allegedly duping people into investing in fraudulent real estate investments with a total financial damage of more than 100 million baht, according to police.

The suspect was arrested on the Pattaya court’s arrest warrant issued on December 28th, 2022. She was also wanted on 11 other warrants, the arresting police on Saturday, September 9th, said.

 

Only identified as Mrs. Warinnicha, or Khun Ao, the 46-year-old Thai woman was accused of conspiring to deceive the public and providing false information into a computer system, as stated on the Pattaya court’s warrant. She had been described in various real estate articles about the project as the CEO of the development and company, although her actual position was unclear, said police.

 

She was arrested at a condo in Bangkok’s Rat Burana district.

 

Warinnicha was reportedly involved in multiple investment scams dated back in early 2020, amidst the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pretty sure if I scammed £2.2 million quid you certainly would not see me in the same country a day longer than I had to be ! 

Some people are just too damn greedy and think that they have a few more months to scam a few more people. Seems to happen a lot here. Can’t fix stupid.
