| He said the company would deceive people by making them buy brand-new vehicles and then ask them to rent them out through the company. No one made them do anything. Their own greed allowed them to purchase cars and give them to the bogus company to rent.
The firm would then have them stolen for sale in neighbouring countries.
Pol Maj-Gen Jet said the company would lure buyers by offering to pay them a monthly rent of up to 40,000 baht, lasting two to three months at the most. More than 100 people have been cheated this way, losing cars altogether worth more than 100 million baht in the swindle, he said.
Not unheard of to see chancers like expatmotors renting out Fortuners and Camrys for similar prices.
Pol Maj-Gen Jet said investigators were also hunting a prominent businessman believed to be the brains behind the scam.
Obviously too prominent to arrest.
Sita Meesinfu, 33, a victim of the scam, said after she learned from a friend that the company was paying a high sum to rent vehicles, her family decided to buy four cars for the company to rent.
Dumb.
