Nakhon Ratchasima man orders toolset, gets water bottles instead

A man from Nakhon Ratchasima was left disheartened after spending 499 baht on what he believed to be a set of tools but instead received three bottles of water.

Nirat Sukboon, a 46 year old resident of Nai Mueang subdistrict, Phimai district, took his complaint to the Phimai Police Station, presenting the evidence of the water bottles.

Nirat shared that he came across a Facebook page advertising a toolset for 499 baht. The price was significantly lower than the market rate, and since he needed new tools, he decided to place an order. Trusting the advertisement, he transferred the money upfront as requested. However, upon receiving his package, he was shocked to find only three bottles of water.

Nirat decided to file a police report and warn the public about the potential risks of online shopping.

Nirat’s case is now under investigation by the Phimai Police, who will look into the fraudulent Facebook page and work to track down the individuals responsible.

The government has been pushing for more stringent regulations and better monitoring of online platforms to curb these kinds of fraudulent activities. Consumers are urged to report any suspicious activities or fraudulent transactions to the police to help combat the issue, reported KhaoSod.
