UDON THANI: -- Two Indian men who tricked two other Indians into coming to Thailand to find lucrative work met their match in Thai Tourist police this weekend.
Vineeth Unnikrishnan,30, and Anooj Mottaammal, 25, were arrested at the Friendship Bridge. They had earlier relieved their two compatriots of $1,200 US dollars each on the promise of work laying internet cables for which they said they would get paid 40,000 baht a month reported Thairath.
Instead after meeting the victims at the Udon airport and seeing them to their hotel thetricksters promptly disappeared over the border.
The victims realising they had been duped contacted tourist police saying they were left with only 700 baht. They needed help from their embassy to get back to India.
They had replied to an online brochure promising the excellent work package, something that had been advertised at the school where they were finishing their studies. Sujith Chengathi, 27, and Abin Varkey, 21, were helped by parents and relatives who mortgaged land and property to raise the four thousand dollars to sort everything out for their visit to Thailand to get the work.
Thai tourist police and immigration authorities swung into action and the swindlers were arrested at the bridge checkpoint as they returned from Laos where they said they had a restaurant. They claimed they would give the victims work there but had told them lies about the more lucrative work in Thailand to entice them.
They said they were reentering Thailand to visit Thai girlfriends in Udon.
