(Photo by the Tourist Police Bureau)An apartment broker has been arrested on fraud charges for allegedly swindling prospective tenants, both Thais and foreigners, and landlords out of 2.5 million baht. Pawinee Krainoonsing, 31, was wanted on an arrest warrant issued by the Bangkok South Criminal Court on April 30. The arrest followed complaints by tenants that Ms Pawinee had duped them into paying rent deposits and fled after the payments were made. A police investigation found that Ms Pawinee had asked prospective tenants to sign rental contracts and then asked them to pay deposits. Tian Xin, 31, signed a two-year rental contract with Ms Pawinee but later cancelled the agreement and asked for her deposit back.
