Suspects ‘learnt forgery skills from the Internet’

BANHGKOK: -- SIX SUSPECTS arrested by 191 Police on charges related to the forging of state documents, claim they learnt how to do it from instructional videos on YouTube and elsewhere on the Internet, division chief Pol Maj-General Surachet Hakpan said at a press conference on Sunday.

 

The suspects also confessed to hiring people for Bt1,000 to Bt2,000 to open bank accounts for transactions, he said. They had been charged with forgery, and may face additional counts for racketeering and money laundering. 

 

Police were in talks with Thailand Post Co to procure devices to scan for illegal items in parcels before deliveries as an increasing number of cases showed contraband being sent by post, he said.

 

The suspects – identified as Supachai Chainit, 20, Jittima Inberd, 26, Suriya Khamsongsi, 31, Prapatsorn Sairat, 24, Sathan Rodpan, 44, and Nithipat Jaidee, 52 – were later transferred to Phayathai Police Station in Bangkok for further legal action.

 

Surachet said the suspects’ arrest stemmed from the arrest on May 12 of Nithipat and Sathan at a copy shop in Samut Sakhon’s Muang district. They allegedly provided forged documents such as education diplomas, police identification cards and gun possession permits to customers who posted orders online and received forged documents via the post. 

 

Police then widened the net to arrest their accomplices.

 

Nithipat, who confessed to being the shop owner, told police he learned how to forge documents from the Internet, notably from YouTube videos, while Sathan gave him customers’ orders. Police found that Sathan received job orders from Suriya and used the bank account of his girlfriend Prapatsorn to receive payments. 

 

Suriya was found to took forgery orders from a Line user identified as Akara, who used a bank account under Supachai’s name to wire money to Suriya via a bank account under Jittima’s name.

 

Surachet warned the public about crimi?nals hiring others to open bank accounts and obtain ATM cards for illegal transactions and withdrawals, saying it could land people whose names were on the accounts in trouble for abetting a crime. 

 

“It’s certainly not worth the Bt1,000 to Bt2,000 they are paid for to open the accounts,” he said.

What a great idea, to advertise the sale of forged documents online, only in Thailand 555

Did I hear someone say: "now we need more control over the internet and surveillance of it's users?"

191 police, for 6 forgers? At a copy shop how the f### did they all get through the doorway.?

 I cant believe some of the statistics that i read here ,about the amount of cozzers it takes to arrest some people. 150 for this 90 for that. Blimey, back in the UK, Jack Reagan and George Carter would have done it on their jack's.Were they all armed? with S,W.A.T. written all over them.?

 Its ludicrous.

Does this mean my permit to possess and shoot a 105mm howitzer is not valid?

How many of their documents are out there; and are they any good? Overkill 191 Police officers, must have been a big day or there were a lot expecting to get some crumbs.

I think 191 is a special police unit.

Years ago in the USA there were several ads floating around on the younger internet for college diplomas and transcripts.  I work in the aerospace industry, go through routine background investigations and don't need or know anybody who would touch such things, but I was curious.  So I called them.  It turns out, that barring copyright and trademark infringement, all they claim to do is make documents that YOU ask for.  They are not representing nor certifying that you did anything.  They said they are just making something that is not illegal until you misrepresent your self.  I doubt that is legally a good stance.  I don't see those ads floating around much any more.  I suspect on line checking of such things is fairly easy these days, and the documents won't hold up if one's background is checked.
