The card machine, reported the cardto be a fake and the name on the card was different from the name in his passport. The man, on being told of the descrepency, rushed out of the shop.

On searching the area, Police found the suspect in the New Sun Moon Fashion at 27/7. The officials asked to see his Passport, which identified the man as Mr. Treach Agabrah aged 29 and a Ghana national. .Three credit cards were found in his wallet.

City Bank Credit card no.4550 4600 xxxx, in the name of Jennifer Moore
City Bank Credit card no.4629 8600 1327 xxxx, in the name of Daniel Scott.
Standard Charter Credit card no. 4258 2845 2275 xxxx, in the name of Sasithorn Cheungsuwan.

The police also found a card slip showing he had spent 10,000 baht on the card no. 4550 4600 xxxx in the name of Jennifer Moore.

On being questioned, Mr Treach Agabrah could not answer the questions put to him saying, that his English was not very good. He claimed that the cards were not stolen nor were they fake and they belonged to him.

I wonder how he will come up with the money to get a release so he can haul his black ass back to the jungle he came from.
If those are mug shots then how the hell do they ever ID a suspect.

One look at him and you tell; if the credit card is not maxed out, it's stolen.

Fake credit card? Fake meaning what, counterfeit? Stolen credit card is more accurate. Who writes this stuff at the Pattaya Daily News?

He's only Jennifer at the weekends in a private club in Soho.
