Bangkok: A husband and wife scammer pair have allegedly swindled victims out of over 38 million baht by posing as "Super Rich" in an investment scheme. Victims have taken their grievances to the Crime Suppression Division, accusing the Thai couple of creating fraudulent profiles to entice people into investing in an international scheme, resulting in significant financial losses.
According to Thai News Agency, "Sergeant Daeng Wantha," also known as Police Sergeant Major Pornpisit, a former officer from the Crime Suppression Division and a Thai film director, accompanied a Hong Kong businessman to meet with investigators. The businessman, reportedly a close friend of superstar Andy Lau and involved in coordinating film appearances for Tony Jaa, sought to warn the public after nearly falling victim to the scam. The scammers misrepresented themselves as part of a supposed money exchange shop called "Superrich" to lure international investors.
On May 26, 2026, several victims reached out to the authorities with additional information about the scam. Some are in the process of filing police reports, while others have initiated civil lawsuits against the couple. The latest victim, who suffered losses exceeding 38 million baht, is receiving treatment at a hospital, while their children collect evidence to prosecute the scammers.
