Pattaya: Africans in B10m romance scam

Seven African men — six Nigerian nationals and one Ghanaian — have been arrested in Pattaya for allegedly swindling 10 million baht from more than 100 Thai women online, police said on Saturday.

Chon Buri police chief Nitipong Niamnoi said the arrests followed a police investigation into complaints that many Thai women had been duped into transferring money into the men’s accounts.
