During that time, a Facebook user contacted the victim, saying that he had 11 boxes of products, could pick them up, and had a storefront at a shopping mall in the Saphan Lek area. The victim checked and found that the store did exist, so he agreed to buy the products for 11,400 baht per box, totaling 125,400 baht, by transferring the money to the seller's bank account. However, when it was time to receive the products, the store said that they had not received any money and could not contact the seller again.
