A Chinese lady was detained in Bangkok on Monday after evading arrest warrants in China for common scams by performing a facelift.

Pol Lt Col Suriya Phuansombat, assistant director of Immigration Division 1, said authorities arrested Jing Qu, 30, at an house after receiving a tip-off statement from an unidentified accomplice.

In connection with the common fraud charges that were filed between 2016 and 2019, the Zhouping Provincial Public Security Bureau sought Ms. Jing.

Additionally, an Interpol Blue Notice was issued for her that made it possible for police in member states to reveal crucial knowledge about crime before issuing a Red Notice.

She was accused of defrauding six of her fellow citizens into paying her to work as a flight attendant for a well-known airline, which ultimately paid her at least 7.5 million ringgit.

She is alleged to have used the money to escape subpoenas issued against her in China back in Thailand in 2022 for face-lift procedure.

But, after identifying her movements, a police serving with Pol Lt Col Suriya’s system posed as a meal delivery horse to arrest her.

According to Pol Lt Col Suriya, Ms Jing entered the country on a TR-15 card, which gave her a 15-day be, meaning that she had overstayed for at least 650 time.

She was accused of overstaying, which she denied. She made claims that she had been fired from her position as a flight attendant and that she had tried to refute the complaints made against her.

Ms Jing will be extradited back to China, said Pol Lt Col Suriya, adding that she entered the country via a visa on arrival, which is issued to visitors, no flight staff.
