A foreign man paid a Thai woman 1.5 million baht after she convinced him that she had been sold into sex slavery abroad by another foreigner.
She also sent an email claiming that their previous relationship would be revealed to his family unless he sent her money.
In reality Phanitnark – described by Manager as a nasty woman – was living it up in Soi Aree, Sukhumvit 26, in Bangkok at a luxury condo.
She was arrested there and admitted everything. Evidence in the form of a phone, electronic cards and a bogus email were gathered by the immigration police.
A vinyl board during the presentation by immigration chief Lt-Gen Sompong Chingduang yesterday also indicated the involvement of the Saensuk (Bang Saen) police in Chonburi.
Phanitnark (surname withheld) had had a sexual relationship with the foreigner whose nationality was not revealed.
She then convinced him over the phone that she had been sold into sex slavery abroad and a ransom must be paid for her release.
Then email threats came that if he didn’t pay more their previous affair would be revealed to his family.
The foreigner fell for all this and parted with 1.5 million baht in several installments.
Finally realising he had been conned the foreigner went to the police who discover the woman had been in Thailand all along and was just extorting him.
She has been charged with fraud under false pretenses and extortion. – Manager Online
