Popular Post Kerryd Posted October 11, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2013 I call bull ! Fake picture ! Note there's NO finger pointing ! Also no photo of her passport, or complete address of where she (allegedly) was staying ! I also note that they made NO reference to trying to find this (alleged) partner of hers ! And only 5 police officers in the pic ? Where's the pics of the re-enactment ? Just terrible. Thailand - new hub of credit/ATM card scammers, where people from China, Estonia, the UK, Bulgaria Germany and Turkey (and no doubt many others) come to ply their trade ! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MESmith Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Do the police have a press conference for every solved crime? Can't bust too many or they wouldn't have the time..... Catching a petty credit card fraudster isn't exactly the same as catching the Yorkshire ripper or OBL...

Pib Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 So sad...caught at MBK...probably caught buying fake products made in China. She should have went more upscale like maybe a shopping spree at Siam Paragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluespunk Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 "Police came to Ms. Ruis following a report from SCB officers (Siam Commerical Bank) saying that there have been credit cards transactions using fake credit cards at the MBK mall, which eventually led to her arrest." Got to wonder why she only used them in MBK. If she'd moved around Bangkok a bit she might still be getting away with it. Thank goodness for the stupidity of thieves.

jaltsc Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) This could be the start of an epidemic. The cops have no problem with fake Chinese goods and credit cards. However, when Chinese sell and use these directly and cut out the middle man, that's tea money out their pockets. A VERY BIG NO NO in Thailand. Lesson to be learned...No underground business takes place in Thailand without the big boys getting their cut of the action Edited October 11, 2013 by jaltsc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMKiwi Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hmmmm very poor photography.... where is the full facial, this is a foreigner after all. I thought only Thai nationals were allowed to cover their faces (And wear baseball hats the wrong way around). Only 6 police in the shot as well.... me smells a cover up. Its ok.... it will be farang fault. You gotta laugh, but at least they caught one bad egg. Hope they find the rest of the dozen... very seldom do they travel alone. The Chinese are very good at copying everything....except Lambos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banzai99 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Pathetic responses. Why do Farangs on ThaiVisa think that an Asian criminal is less of a criminal than a Farang criminal ? You lot have to try to ridicule them more because they are Asian, it says more about you than it says about them. And of course, you'd all have plenty to say to their faces wouldn't you ?

NewlyMintedThai Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 They called her a Chinese national, while her friend was identified as Taiwanese -- so let's assume she's from the PRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elzach Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Fake passport, fake credit cards....in China everything can be fake (and I mean, everything)...and these can be bought easily (don't know the price but probably not more than 500 RMB) In other news, 5 million Chinese will come to Thailand next year (some sarcastic posters might say that Thailand ain't seen nothing yet).

Catching a petty credit card fraudster isn't exactly the same as catching the Yorkshire ripper or OBL... Can't bust too many or they wouldn't have the time..... I think that probably sums it up pretty well. They can't solve more crime because they're busy having a press conference. They have time to have a press conference because they don't solve many crimes. They can't solve more crimes because....... Still at least they got this one. I notice she's hiding her face which is something I don't remember seeing before. I assumed they weren't allowed to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
