Scam victims get arrested at Poipet immigration
Poipet: On June 3, 2018, 5 Cambodian laborers, including 1 woman and 2 children, were detained by Cambodia immigration police at the border, on the Cambodia Thai friendship bridge, after they were discovered to be carrying fake immigration cards to cross into Thailand.
According to 40 year old Cambodian man, Chen Somboo, one of the 5 victims, he wanted to work in Bangkok. but he didn’t have any legal documents. However, while he was at the border, he met a man who told him that he can get a card which would enable anyone to walk across the border easily, for only 1,000 baht per person.
The Cambodian victims took and paid for the five cards which were in somebody else's name, but when they went to walk across the border they were detained and questioned by the immigration police. It was only then that they realized that they had been scammed. They were held by immigration for questioning.
