Facebook handbag scam cons customers out of THB10 million

A woman who sold luxury handbags on Facebook has allegedly conned her customers out of THB10 million.

Piyaporn Leelas, 36, said she met Jettayapat Sappat via a Facebook page that was auctioning brand-name handbags.

The page had attracted more than 200,000 followers.

“She delivered two bags without any problem, but when I paid THB55,000 for another bag that I bought directly from her, she failed to deliver,” Piyaporn said.

Piyaporn and several other victims submitted evidence including handbag photos and payment receipts to police yesterday.

Pol. Col. Siriwat Pordee said police would investigate the complaint and gather evidence before summoning the suspect.

The victims also jointly lodged a complaint with the Technology Crime Suppression Division, reported the Nation.
