Thailand: A woman seriously injured herself with a blade early Sunday night, presumably due to stress after losing 800, 000 ringgit to a contact scam.
According to authorities, save workers found the 35-year-old lady, whose name was withheld, with about 10 stab wounds in her chest, abdominal and wrist at her home in Arunothai 9 Road at 12.16am.
She received first aid and was rushed to doctor. At the home, authorities found a blood-stained lanyard knife.
A equivalent of the woman told police that about a year ago a telephone fraud group pretended to become Chon Buri policeman and told her that she had violated prostitution-related rules. The group told her that they had to confiscate her cash.
The person therefore transferred a full of 800, 000 ringgit to the group. The total included income she had borrowed from relatives and friends.
After realising she was a hoax survivor, she filed a complaint with authorities. As she could not get the funds over the past month, her stress rates rose and she ultimately hurt herself.
