✨ VISA AGENT SCAMMER UPDATE ✨

I wrote a post a few months ago about how I was scammed by a “visa agent” that found me on this group. She took my 11,000 baht and and as soon as I sent the money asked for another 11,000 baht.

At that point I realized it was a scam and asked for the refund. The person kept promising to refund every day, stretching the time.

I finally went to the police and filed a complaint.

Long story short: I got my money back a few days ago.

💸 11,000 baht that the scammer took from me and never returned — now it’s back in my hands thanks to the police.

The scammer got anxious ONLY when she received a summon from the police. Basically if she didn’t show up (or rather the person whose bank account she is using), police would have the right to arrest her/him.

It took almost 2 months, but I didn’t give up. I hope my story inspires you too:

👉 If someone scams you, always go to the police.

👉 Be persistent. Don’t let it slide. BE PERSISTENT AT THE POLICE STATION. At first police didn’t want to help me. I just persisted and persisted. Take Thai/English speaking person with you. Otherwise, at the police suggest that you hire an interpreter (I’ve learned that it’s one of the reasons police didnt want to take my case at first. Worried about them having to hire interpreter by themselves).

👉 Keep the mindset: I will do whatever it takes to make the scammer pay. I took this scammer personally. My heart is singing right now that I won and that she’s the one begging police to unfreeze her account now. I hope her account is unfrozen with the same delay with which she returned my money. 🤣

👉 NEVER give your money over the Internet. Take a picture of person’s ID PERSONALLY before proceeding with any payment.

💭 To those who laughed at me for believing in the police — ha-ha, look at me now. 😁

💭 To those who supported me in the comments and in private messages with kind words and useful information about the scammer — thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are amazing. 💖

💭 And to the scammer (because I know you’re reading this): karma will find you. 😈

⚠️ Some people asked me to disclose her identity. I checked with the police — and the answer is NO, it’s not safe in a PUBLIC SETTING.

But just so you know:

🔹 The scammer was already removed from this group a few months ago.

🔹 She changed her profile name right after I reported her.

🔹 When she texts you, she rushes you to start cooperation with her, sends selfies with her being at the immigration, holding passports etc. Asks you to sends the documents and even reviews them for you. Do not think she’s not a scammer just because she knows a lot about visa process.

🔹 Her bank account was frozen as soon as I filed the complaint, and now the official process is ongoing.

💪 The lesson? Never give up. Justice takes time, but it’s worth fighting for. I could have lost. But I knew I would do ANYTHING I CAN to make the scammer pay.

With the challenges at B of B I decided to open a new account elsewhere. As much as I support battling fraud I don’t believe the bank’s approach is of sound mind or ….. I walked into Krungthai with my lease, passport and tm. 30 minutes later I have a new bank card and an account. What was even nicer was when I transferred funds from wise they arrived in 10 seconds. The other bank was anywhere from a day to days. Nothing is perfect in life and I have to deal with the 50k per day maximum tranfer until this updates. The bank was at a loss for why B of B is operating this way. My account is still locked and once I get to the bank in a few weeks I will happily close this and never use them again.

I have Bangkok bank account and today i tried to use the account but I couldn't. It's not about the SIM card because my sim card registered with my account. But after I couldn't used the account I called the call center and they inform me the account locked and I should go the my branch. It's crazy! Just locked the account without any notice

Something going down with bank accounts today. Seen several posts across the visa groups. Not sure if it’s a particular bank specific thing or what. The posts mention about the banks closing accounts of people not on long term visas.

If anyone has information as to what’s going on then please share.

Just found this message logging into my krungsri account with browser. Anyone an idea what this means or reason Krungsri stops online banking service registration now as not opening any bank accounts to farangs like the other bank branches in Thailand?

Scammer alert! I approached this dude in this group and he told me he can help me with applying for the DTV, but now he isn't responding to my messages despite receiving money from me. His personal account name is Min Bo Aung and he seems to have an office located in Bangkok. The amount of money scammed is insignificant, but I just want to warn others.

I applied for my dtv 2 days ago in Germany, Frankfurt and today I saw they not only charged me the regular price for the visa but also 45,99€ extra costs for whatever. Additionally there are another 45,99€ reserved payments in my bank account. Anyone know what that’s for? I tried calling them but no one answers the phone though I called during office hours.

Hello, When you provide bank statements for proof of funds could you black out the bank account number or at least part of it?

Hi all,i need some advice

For admin of this group if not allowed me to post it you can delete this post.

I come to Bangkok to do surgery but I get scammed by the owner of the beauty clinic in Ekkamai she run away with my money around $4000, she always blame me for some reason, I read on the review not only me gets scammed by her.

My question is what is the first step should I do. As a tourist I don't know what is the law here, will police help me for this case ?
