They were arrested under warrants issued by the Buriram Provincial Court on charges of conspiracy to defraud and fraudulently entering information into a computer system. The victims were retired civil servants who were deceived by the perpetrators posing as officials from the Buriram Provincial Teachers’ Savings Cooperative’s Funeral Assistance Fund, who tricked them into transferring money.
The victims were subsequently defrauded through Krung Thai Bank. Anomalies were detected, indicating a scam had occurred. Police from Tak Province and Mae Sot Police Station were contacted to investigate. The two suspects were found along with 945,000 baht in cash and a Krung Thai Bank account book.
Ms. Sudarat admitted to hiring Ms. Jirapatch to use the bank account to receive the transferred money, paying her 1,500 baht as compensation. Both suspects were then taken into custody and handed over to the investigating officers for legal proceedings.
