Thai Woman Harassed After Scam Uses Her Address for Fake Sex Services
The Scam and Harassment
A 53-year-old Thai woman, Thanida, endured months of harassment after a scammer used her address to trick men into paying for sex services and arranging fake meetings at her residence. The scam, which left Thanida facing angry and confused men at her doorstep, finally led her to seek help from social media influencer Guntouch “Gun” Pongpaiboonwet and his team.
On February 20, Gun and his team met Thanida at Bang Yai Police Station in Nonthaburi province, near Bangkok, to help her report the situation and take further action.
The Scam Unfolds
According to Thanida, the scam began when a 29-year-old woman advertised sex services online, using Thanida’s address as the meeting point for clients. After men contacted the scammer, they were asked to transfer payment for the service and were directed to meet at the provided address—Thanida’s home.
This led to numerous strangers arriving at Thanida’s residence, expecting to receive sex services. While some men left after realizing they had been scammed, others became angry and demanded refunds from Thanida.
The Harrowing Encounters
Thanida explained that the first incident occurred late last year when a man showed up at her house, asking about the sex service. Upon realizing he had been deceived, he left. However, the situation worsened in January when another man visited her home with a receipt for the payment he had made. Thanida explained the situation to him, and he left without incident.
The worst encounter occurred when a man arrived and angrily knocked on her door. After realizing he had been scammed, he demanded a refund of 700 baht. Fortunately, a security guard at the residence intervened, preventing the situation from escalating further.
Seeking Justice
With the help of Gun and his team, Thanida has now taken legal action to resolve the issue and protect herself from future harassment. Authorities are investigating the scam, and police efforts are focused on tracking down the 29-year-old woman responsible for the fraudulent activity.
