webfact Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Immigration police have arrested a South Korean in Pattaya, who is wanted in his own country on fraud charges. Police have also arrested a Taiwanese woman in Bangkok, wanted in Taiwan for allegedly cheating 88 Taiwanese investors of about 608 million baht in real estate investments in Thailand. In the first case, South Korean police sought cooperation from their Thai counterparts in tracking down a South Korean man, alleged to be the operator of a call centre scam business in China, preying on victims in South Korea. In just two weeks, the gang allegedly succeeded in persuading six victims to transfer over 200 million South Korean won (~฿5.4M) into their accounts, prompting the South Korean police to issue an arrest warrant and seek help from the Thai police, after it was learned that he had been taking refuge in Pattaya.

The competition, which is fierce, combined with their inability to wait for the reward, is what prevents that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can police investigate unless someone complains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
