snoop1130 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Couple arrested for allegedly cheating 100 people out of Bt50m in pyramid scheme By The Nation Crime Suppression Division (CSD) police on Tuesday arrested a couple for allegedly deceiving around 100 people into investing in a pyramid fund scheme, causing Bt50 million worth of damage. The arrest of Piyaporn Saesanthia, 28, and her husband, Thossapol Boonmanut, 29, was announced at CSD headquarters. Police said the two had been arrested under a warrant issued by Min Buri Court on September 26 last year. They were apprehended in Bangkok’s Bang Bon district on Monday. The victims filed complaints with the CSD that the couple had used their Facebook accounts to deceive them into investing in a fund with promised returns of 20 to 50 per cent per week. The victims also claimed that they had been deceived into inviting friends to join the fund. The alleged deception took place in 2016 and 2017, police said.

seajae Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 really have to wonder why so many keep giving these people their money, so many times we have seen the same scams with promises of big returns and they simply steal it all. When will people wake up that big returns are not able to be paid, stick it in the bank, at least it safer there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many out there do the minimum one year which throws up a red flag immediately. Another thread on here about Dunbar Sterling, their domain is registered the minimum one year so obvious no confidence in themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are greedy and stupid enough to trust any investment scheme that promises such a grossly unrealistic return per week, you perhaps don't deserve any better than being fleeced for every penny you're worth.
