Former Thai beauty queen faces fraud charges over bogus property rental

[webfact]

 

A beautiful businesswoman and former beauty queen stands accused of fraud and misleading the public after she allegedly rented out a house that she didn’t own. The arrest of Tetshinee (surname withheld) was made today, January 16, following orders from senior police officers.

 

The 43 year old was charged with deceiving the public and importing false data into a computer system, which could cause damage to others. The charges came after Tetshinee posted pictures of a mansion located in Sukhumvit 6, Klong Toey, Bangkok, on her Facebook page.

 

The post advertised a house for rent in Huai Khwang at a cheap price in a prime location. The victim, interested in the property, contacted Tetshinee, transferred the rental fee, and then asked for proof of property ownership.

Unable to provide the necessary documents, the victim requested a cancellation and return of the rental fee. However, Tetshinee refused to refund the money and subsequently disappeared, cutting off all contact. The victim reported the incident to Huai Khwang Police Station, resulting in an arrest warrant, reported KhaoSod.

"..transferred the rental fee, and then asked for proof of property ownership."

 

Well there's your problem.

So, now we will not need any more thread with questions how to do when somebody refuse to return deposits or rental fees. Report to the police, which seems to work. Please pin this thread at the top.

And a serial offender. That should earn her a decent spell in jail, where her fellow inmates jealous of her looks might attempt to even things up a little.
