starcandle Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 it's just come to light that there is or was a Thai lady operating a travel and tours shop that also hired out Bikes and Cars, her shop is based in between Plailam and Choengmon, next door to a Tattooist. This person has been going around genuine business's all over the Island, and taking, in one case, 3 motor cars and 10 motor bikes, She pays 1 month in advance offers passport or other id as security. She has sold the motors on... she is in the monkey house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcandle Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 So far over 20 victims have come forward and the vehicles are countless. This is theft on a grand scale, not a failure to return 1 item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evadgib Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) So far over 20 victims have come forward and the vehicles are countless. This is theft on a grand scale, not a failure to return 1 item. ...therefore a mugshot & good quality scan of hirers ID should be the norm, along with CCTV footage of the transaction. I saw a fixed camera recently that was supplied by one of the sponsors of this board that was sourced & fitted for less than the cost of a days 4x4 car hire.

AlfGarnett Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 A similar scam is carried out by a woman in Nathon called Jarowan. Police have a big file on her, but she just does a bit of time, pays the fine and is out up to her tricks again. Possibly the same woman, this scam is easily done as the police are not exactly kicking down doors looking for the vehicles, it is up to the rental company how much they want to pursue it.
