Accompanied by an attorney, a Thai woman set out to report an incidence of fraud. The sufferer, ‘A’ alleged that the culprit, generally identified as Tae Teppabud Linliamthong, had duped her into shopping for a high-performance bike and held back on the supply of the bike since 2020.
At round 10.30am at present, attorney Ronnarong Kaewphet and A visited the Royal Thai Police Sports Club on Bangkok‘s Vibhavadi Road to follow up on the case with Deputy Police Chief Surachate ‘Big Joke’ Hakparn.
The fallout got here after Tae, also referred to as Jirakorn (surname withheld), misrepresented his high-performance bike business and, in turn, scammed A. Tae initially assured a refund to the victim but also feigned ignorance about the whole downside. A is a long-standing motorcycle merchant and came into contact with Tae via a mutual acquaintance, Tong, who had close ties with her.
Engaging in conversations by way of LINE, A finally agreed to order a high-performance motorbike with a hefty deposit on October 23, 2020. However, things took a sour turn when the agreed date for the motorcycle’s supply arrived, and Tae began evading all contact. This suspicious exercise led A to the Phunphin Police Station in Surat Thani province to complain, having never met Tae or seen the high-performance motorbike.
Furthermore, after A realised she might need been deceived, she kept reaching out to Tae, who stoutly refuted all allegations of fraud. Factors kept returning parts of the deposit initially made, totalling within the hundreds of thousands. A’s outstanding amount stands at 600,000 baht (US$17,045). Despite her constant efforts, A has been unable to make contact with Tae and to date, she hasn’t received a refund. This incident led her to attorney Ronnarong..
