Duped investors file complaint with CSD
Play
Some 20 people yesterday filed complaints at the Crime Suppression Division saying that they had been duped by a 30-year-old woman from Trat via LINE app into investing a total of Bt10 million in stock, and not getting the high returns they were promised.
The complainants claimed that Saiwarin Siha promised them up to 10 per cent returns on their investments.
A woman, who asked for anonymity, said Saiwarin, who was introduced to her by a close friend, had invited her two months ago to join a 100-strong group chat on LINE, where she called on members to invest in stock. The woman said she invested Bt200,000 and earned high dividends as promised, after which she increased her investment to Bt600,000. However, she said, there was no sign of dividends and the suspect had become evasive, claiming the stock market was in the red and promised to return the investments by late October. Since then the investors have not heard from Saiwarin again, which is why they got together to alert police yesterday.
