The Thai Tourist Police swooped to arrest two Thai women accused of scamming tourists with fake Facebook pages for luxury resort bookings in Pattaya.
The suspects, 30 year old Hattaya and 27 year old Sirilak, allegedly created counterfeit profiles for a high-end resort on Koh Larn, luring tourists into paying deposits for room reservations.
Once the victims transferred the money, the suspects reportedly blocked them on Facebook and sought new targets. According to police, the fraudulent scheme involved entering false information into a computer system, leading to charges of fraud against both women.
The arrests occurred at the suspects’ residences in Chon Buri and Samut Prakan provinces after Thai Tourist Police tracked their digital footprints. Hattaya was apprehended in Chon Buri while Sirilak was detained in Samut Prakan.
