Bangkok: "Ple Nakorn" reports to the police about a scammer who created a fake page to sell products, causing damage to dozens of people. Ple Nakorn and his wife filed a complaint with the Commander of the Technology Crime Suppression Division after being scammed by a fake page selling products, resulting in dozens of victims.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Nakorn Silachai, also known as Ple Nakorn, along with his wife, Mrs. Kasama Silachai, filed a complaint with Pol. Lt. Gen. Trairong Phiwpaen, the Commander of the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD). The complaint followed the discovery of a scam operation where a fake page was created to trick people into transferring money for products, specifically Mrs. Kasama's chicken curry, which led to significant damages.
Mr. Nakorn explained that he first became aware of the scam when about 10 victims contacted him about the pickup location after they had transferred money for the products. Upon investigation, he discovered that the fake orders were being made through a Facebook page named 'Mo Mae Jun', which had over 1,300 followers and likes. The page falsely advertised chicken curry products for 459 baht for 2,000 grams, offering various promotions and claiming immediate delivery. Mr. Nakorn clarified that the legitimate 'Mo Mae Jun' brand does not have any pages and only accepts orders through Line, with a single account under 'Mr. Nakorn Silachai' for money transfers. He issued a warning to customers to avoid falling victim and took formal action to prevent further scams, fearing that the number of victims could rise to 1,000.
Pol. Lt. Gen. Trairong highlighted that the case impacts two areas: the damage to Mr. Nakorn's reputation and the financial loss suffered by the victims. The TCSD plans to examine the evidence provided by Mr. Nakorn from more than 10 victims. Initial findings suggest that the scam may have been conducted by criminals operating in a neighboring country.
The TCSD Commander also issued a public warning to be cautious before transferring money. He urged those who have been scammed to report the crime immediately to the police or call the hotline 1441 to prevent further incidents and avoid potentially incurring millions of baht in damages.
