Pattaya police arrested three Chinese shoppers suspected to be part of a
larger credit-card fraud ring.
Xuan Tao, 37 and Shi Yen Hua, 25, were taken into custody while buying
mobile phones at Mike Shopping Mall March 10. Police found two fake credit
cards on them with magnetic strip information that didn’t match the printed
numbers.
Under questioning, the two admitted a third member of their group, Shi Zhi
Yong, 46, was staying at Hard Rock Pattaya Hotel. He was arrested there
along with four more fake cards, a skimmer and four phones.
The suspects claimed they bought the bogus cards on the Internet, but police
believe they are part of a larger fraud ring.
