PHUKET: -- A Phuket woman has been charged under the Computer Crime Act and for fraud after she created a fake Facebook account by using someone else’s photo and a fake name in order to dupe people into sending her money for a camera they would never receive.

Armed with search warrant, police arrested Piyanuch Singkhala, 23, at her home in Mai Khao, in northern Phuket, yesterday (Nov 4). Police seized from her house a bankbook and seven post office receipts for parcels sent.

Phuket City Police Deputy Superintendent Col Sakchai Limjareon, accompanied by Lt Col Somsak Thongkleang, announced Piyanuch’s arrest at a press conference today (Nov 5).

The raid followed police receiving a complaint filed by Benjaporn Phumkleng, 24, on October 20.

Stupid young lady. How did she think a fake name & photo would prevent the police finding her IP location and then her real address. Clearly not smart enough to evade detection.
