Mother-daughter duo busted over romance scamsThe Crime Suppression Division (CSD) has arrested a mother and a daughter in Saraburi for cheating their victims out of almost 3 million baht in romance scams. Pol Col Wiwat Chitsophakun, superintendent of CSD's sub-division 3, yesterday said the suspects, Sunantinee Sakaethong, 33, and Ratchanee Sakunaue, 63, were arrested after a team was deployed to search five locations across Nong Khae district. The arrest followed a complaint lodged with the CSD by a victim, who lost almost all of his retirement savings over the scam. The scammers, Pol Col Wiwat said, used a fake Facebook profile under the name "Chrysilla Celandina Celia", which featured pictures of celebrities as its profile picture. The victim who filed a report with CSD lost millions of baht to the pair, Pol Col Wiwat said.
