“Thai Woman Loses 30,000 Baht in Fake Foreign-Husband Matchmaking Scheme”

A 50-year-old Thai woman in Udon Thani named “Jip” paid 30,000 baht to what she believed was a matchmaking agency promising to connect her with a foreign husband. The scheme demanded a full fee of 70,000 baht, but only the deposit was collected before the “agent” disappeared, blocking contact. CCTV evidence and a recorded meeting with a supposed company representative were submitted as part of her complaint. Jip hopes the footage and car registration details will aid police in identifying the scammer. She also warns other women considering overseas marriage services to beware of fraudulent operations.
