Workers left stranded at airport

Supaporn Passa, 56, a farmer from Nakhon Ratchasima, said a man identified only as Nathee, a friend of her relative’s boyfriend, offered to take them to Australia on Monday to get a job at grape orchards paying Bt5,000 per day.
She and the others paid the required Bt100,000. As the group was set to fly out late on Monday night, they waited at the airport, but Nathee didn’t show up and his phone couldn’t be reached after 9pm.
Then they realised they had been duped and alerted airport officials, who transferred them to police.
