In a dramatic turn of events, Bangkok authorities captured Jing Qu, a 30-year-old Chinese national wanted in her homeland for extensive fraud. Ms Jing's arrest this Monday follows a cunning attempt to evade justice through facial surgery. 

 

The Zhouping Provincial Public Security Bureau has been actively pursuing her for accusations of public fraud dating back to between 2016 and 2019. Her reported ploy involved deceiving six victims into paying her for securing roles as flight attendants with reputed airlines, pocketing around 7.5 million baht in the process.

 

Things unraveled further when an Interpol Blue Notice came into play, facilitating shared intelligence among countries, with Ms Jing's movements under watch. Her attempt to change appearance via surgery in Thailand was designed to escape the authorities' radar after warrants went out against her in China.

A well-coordinated operation led by Pol Lt Col Suriya Phuansombat, of Thailand's Immigration Division 1, resulted in her apprehension. The break came from a tip-off relayed by an anonymous informant. Ingeniously, a policeman posed as a food delivery rider to successfully detain Ms Jing at her Bangkok apartment.

 

Alongside the fraud charges, Ms Jing faces accusations of overstaying her welcome in Thailand by over 650 days. Initially entering the country on TR-15 visa terms for a limited 15-day duration, her insistence on innocence clashes with her prolonged stay under tourist conditions instead of any notable employment capacity. 

 

Now in Thai custody, Ms Jing is set on a course back to China to confront the hefty accusations laid against her. Pol Lt Col Suriya confirmed that the extradition process is in motion, ensuring cross-border coordination on tackling fraudulence remains robust and discerning, reported Bangkok Post.

Good to hear Interpol Blue Notices are acted on - unlike a certain Red one.....

Yet another Chinese 'Fraudster' aka scammer comes to Thailand, on a 15 day visa and it took the cops 21 months to find her on overstay, and without the blue notice she would still be free. ................now let me check when my 90 days is due.
