Permits are being sought for the owners of a bogus mobile phone shop that enticed teenagers to make payments in installments.
A 19-year-old student who was tricked into paying for an phone 13 that she never received is thought to have committed suicide by hanging, and authorities are preparing to file an arrest warrant for them.
According to a police investigation, the Mathayom 6 ( Grade 12 ) student had used Facebook to get in touch with the” Hannah” mobile phone shop.
However, investigations revealed that the store was false, and the website provided a false tackle for Chiang Rai’s Mae Sai area.
The woman, who resided in the southern state of Nakhon Si Thammarat, was tricked into paying for an iPhone 13 and forced to make installment payments for various expenses.
The woman ultimately paid 18,500 baht in full. The funds were sent to the ghost purchase through a bank account that was registered with the name Dokkaew Kewjerm. Since then, the bill has been frozen.
Additionally, the victim was duped into making a” guarantee” payment of an additional 2, 000 baht.
The woman sent the final payment and didn’t get a call, according to the officers, when she realized she was being duped. She tried in vain to get in touch with the seller through a Line talk class but was unsuccessful.
She was so stressed out that she feared her relatives had chastise her for borrowing money from two school associates to purchase a unit they couldn’t afford.
She expressed her frustration with the strain she was experiencing in her last talk message with her friends. Her companions suspected something was wrong and called her home when the child’s information abruptly stopped.
On Monday, the woman hanged herself at her residence in the Pak Phanang neighborhood of Nakhon Si Thammarat’s tambon Koh Thuad.
According to Pol Lt Gen Worawat Watnakhonbancha, the CCIB chief, Koh Thuad police transferred the case to the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau( CCIB ) on Tuesday after the victim’s parents complained online.
According to Pol Lt. Gen. Worawat, CCIB Division 5 officials are tracking the girl’s transfers to the seller as well as the Facebook website and Internet handle of the fake store.
Within two weeks, the offenders should be apprehended, according to the authorities. To challenge arrest warrants, information has already been gathered.
The Division 5 captain, Pol Maj Gen Charin Kopatta, claimed that the mob had four pony bank accounts, one in Chaiyaphum and the others in Chiang Rai.
According to police, the woman’s cash transfers were sent to a bank in the border city of Tachileik in Myanmar from Chiang Rai.
When Ms. Dokkaew, the owner of the horse account that received the girl’s bills, was questioned by authorities in Chaiyaphum, she denied having any connections to the band.
She asserted that she was unaware that the bill had been opened using her personal information, including her citizenship ID cards.
The 27-year-old user of the phone company” Family” in Nakhon Sawan complained to the local authorities on Wednesday after discovering the con artists had used the store’s symbol on their website.
