Patong –A man was arrested in Patong for opening a bank account, called a horse bank account, for investment scheme scammers in which he received 1,000 baht for his job.


The Central Investigation Bureau told the Phuket Express that earlier this week they arrested a suspect identified only as Mr. Chaiyapong, 29, from Phuket, at a house in Patong. He is being accused of fraud by importing false information into computer systems which caused damages to others.

 

The arrest follows after two years ago in which many victims were persuaded by scammers to work in online advertising by sharing products posted on social media.
