A Thai “fixer” is accused of extorting a Chinese exporter of 300,000 baht by offering to assist him in getting a permanent card.

He alleges that a cyberbullying police officer who offered to assist had extorted him with no tangible proof of it.

On Wednesday, Shinji Maeda, 51, filed a problem with Crime Suppression Division authorities about the alleged swindler. &nbsp, He was accompanied by cultural advertising activist Thamanat Taengtim and his director Namtan Phetphatcharaprasit.

Clothing is exported to Japan by Mr. Maeda’s business from Bo Bae and Pratunam general industry.

He claimed that the scam first started in 2019. He wanted to apply for a visa that would allow him to remain forever in Thailand at the time. He spoke with the finance company he used for his company, and they recommended him to a Thai person he only knew as Tong.

Tong claimed to have paid some income to assist him in getting a permanent visa. Tong informed him in 2020 that the spread of Covid-19 was causing him to apply for a card with a pause. &nbsp,

Tong demanded more income two years later, claiming that his application for a continuous card was being processed, according to Mr. Maeda.

He had made 16 cash payments to Tong’s accounts, 10, 000-30, 000 baht each day and totalling more than 300, 000 ringgit. He consulted a companion earlier this year, and he concluded that Tong had taken him to the cleaning.

He subsequently filed a complaint at Phetkasem police depot, accusing Tong of scams.

He eventually filed a subsequent complaint, with hacking police at Muang Thong Thani. A police officer that suggested Tong may include Tong mark a loan agreement. He was informed that this would make the offence a civil case rather than a legal case, and he would be able to recover his money.

The crime officer asked him for 5, 000 ringgit for” coffee charges” and even borrowed another 5, 000 ringgit from him. The Chinese supplier claimed that the situation had not advanced since giving him the money. &nbsp,

The claimant and testimonies will be interrogated as part of the CSD police’s investigation.
