webfact Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Picture INN INN reported from the head of the Police Cyber Taskforce Gen Damrongsak Kittipraphat about the PCT activities over the last two months. Samrongsak, also a RTP deputy, said there had been 17 cases involving the arrests of 46 suspects, 2000 victims and one billion baht in losses. Cases ranged from offences related to gambling on the Euro 2020 football tournament, to a Ponzi scheme online called "Ban Pee Mai" to a Romance Scam to prostitution. The general said that the taskforce had been instructed by Thai premier Prayuth Chan-ocha and RTP chief Gen Suwat Chaengyodsuk to crack down on gambling and related offences during the delayed Euro tournament. One high profile arrest was a man called Thanawich at a Ram Intra housing estate and the seizure of his assets and bank records. He appeared to be involved in gambling online after opening a Euro 2020 site. But mostly INN relied on vinyl boards to try and explain the romance scam, ponzi scheme and one involving a man who had used the name of a celebrity on Twitter to promote a prostitution racket.

Popular Post Excel Posted June 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2021 So why is this report about police simply doing their jobs ? Perhaps of the millions in Thailand who daily go about doing their jobs there should be a news report about them also ? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Rabbit Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Pah theyre stealing from each other everyday here, in looking for two workers through facebook I saw loads of employers saying staff ask for money as they dont have the bus fare to start the new job then they dont turn up keeping the 1000 baht or so they asked for in advance. Literally 3-4 a day posted even with id card s shown warning people not to employ them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should Prayuth not be devoting his energy and mind to unravelling the ever increasingly urgent vaccine fiasco .. Thailand is a nation of gamblers from the cockfights to village lotteries to illicit bookie sites and everything in between so if he wants to do something about the populaces want to gamble there are plenty of other places to look also ..
