"duped"

Six police officers are facing legal action after they were duped by a smart conman who faked a LINE account of a deputy tourism police chief in order to offer promotions in exchange for money.

THE JUSTICE MINISTRY is aiding 300 villagers in Kalasin who claimed to have been duped by a community-based financial institute to take out a Bt150,000-Bt200,000 loan per head, totalling Bt65 million, from a bank to fund the institute’s operations and then faced lawsuits by the bank demanding they repay the debts.

The alleged leader of a gang that duped at least two elderly people out of at least Bt1 million in Samut Songkhram's Ampawa district has been arrested.
