Hong Kong woman detained for credit card fraud

PATTAYA: -- Police detained a 24-year-old woman from Hong Kong after she tried to use three bogus credit cards to purchase 4 diamond rings worth 150,000 baht.

The owner of Lotus Gems in Walking Street called police shortly after midnight on February 5 after trying to run the cards through the EFTPOS machine, and subsequently calling banking officials who confirmed the cards were false.

Police arrived at the store and escorted Lam Lai Mui to the station for questioning. The woman claimed that she had borrowed the three visa cards from a male friend to make the purchase and had no idea the cards were fake.

Police took the woman’s statement and charged her with fraud under electronic banking laws. She could face 5 years in jail or 100,000 baht fine or both if she is convicted.
